This is a quote from Gjurchinovski -
"Consequently, it emphasizes the fact that the length of a uniformly moving object will be physically contracted along its velocity vector by the usual Lorentz factor."
That sentence is the the last one there. It is Gjurchinovski conclusion, with an conceptual experiment that is not observer dependent. He concluded a reallity of contraction on the 'object', not observer/light dependent.Mentz114 said:The Lorentz factor applies between any two inertial frames. This statement says that a rod has a physical length corresponding to every possible inertial observer !
Before disagreeing with the conclusion one's must point a faulty step along the derivation of the conclusion.
What he said is along with the references cited in the paper. The author merit becames clear after he imagined an experiment that is observer independent, and cristal clear.
I see no paradox, nor contradiction, not clashing with SR.Mentz114 said:This is such an obvious contradiction/paradox that I cannot see how anyone can think for a moment it can be true.
Einstein paper does not rule out 'absolute space', it just do not need it.
Yes, it cames with the conclusion. The Einstein SR is observer/light dependent.Mentz114 said:The author seems to be under the impression that there is only one factor that can be applied, which must be assuming an absolute frame in which velocity is measurable.
Things change when we remove the constraint imposed by light travel time/observer.
observer dependent applies to SR not to this perspective.Mentz114 said:Even if this were the case the Lorentz factor applies between two frames and is based on their relative velocity.
At last I agree with youMentz114 said:Get a grip, man !

If it exists a 'really' an object contration, as it seems, and a cumulative observer dependent contraction, as it seems,
then the observed contraction would be lambda^2.
Am I wrong?
