Dono not honest enough to admit his mistake?
Come on now .. admit that you were wrong. Its not hard. You completely
stuffed up what SR predicts happens wrt length contraction. Now be a good
boy and admit it .. and an apology for all your unprovoked name calling and
criticizing my correct position would really show that you are a person
worth of respect. Or will you be a remain a laughing stock forever?
In case you've forgotten:
"There is a large class of thought experiments (the pole in the barn being
one of them) that rely on the misguided idea that length contraction allows
larger objects (like the pole) to fit inside smaller enclosures (like the
barn) as a byproduct of rapid relative motion. This is not the case"
"Uniform relative motion cannot make a longer object (the pole) fit inside a
shorter box (the barn). I was very clear on this from the very beginning."
"When compared at rest wrt each other, the pole in the problem is much
larger than the barn. Uniform relative motion cannot
make it fit inside the closed barn. This is what I am trying to convey"
"If the pole is in UNIFORM motion and you try to close the barn doors
simultaneously in the barn frame, you will hit the pole. The pole has not
become magically shorter simply through UNIFORM RELATIVE motion"
