Lorentz Contraction: Exploring Standard Relativity & Bell's Paradox

In summary, the conversation discusses the controversy surrounding Bell's standard spaceship paradox and whether or not the string connecting the spaceships would break in different formulations of relativity. The conclusion is that the string would indeed break due to the changing electromagnetic forces between atoms in the string. However, there is still debate over the details of the calculation and the role of the launch frame's perspective.

I have learned from experience that if you have decided you are correct, no amount of logical argument will convince you otherwise. However in this case there is no doubt, your proff is invalid.

No problem.

I cannot show you Reductio ad absurdum.

That's quite obvious as you do not understand correctly it yourself.

If you want, I can show you some math arguments of mine if you could follow them.


Yea I know, you understand everything.

That's very kind of you but I have plenty of textbooks and the mathematicians on the math forum are very helpful, and rigorous. Perhaps you should let them look at your above proof and comment on it.

It appears unlikely that this thread will make any substantive progress, so it is now closed.
