The Lorentz force is something completely different and totally unrelated to anything we have been discussing in this thread.LikenTs said:In this way it is not necessary to imagine that there is a Lorentz force, capable of causing stress in an object. @A.T. also mentions Bell's paradox. The interpretation would be that the rope is not broken by Lorentz forces but because the rockets are separating in the proper reference frame.
This is false and has been explained to you multiple times. This is very frustrating. I have told you repeatedly that these are actual mechanical deformations measurable with strain gauges and must be analyzed using material laws like elasticity. Do you think elastic forces are not real forces? Do you think centripetal forces are not real forces?LikenTs said:in turn caused not by a real force but by Lorentz contractions.
You have also been told repeatedly that the fast and slow scenarios are not related by a Lorentz transform, so how can you ascribe the vibrations to length contraction?
