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?

He is not wrong.

He is. That you agree with him must send up alarms bells to Dono.

It is you who mis-interpreted the SR prediction.

No .. I (and the others here like Tom and PD) get it right

SR
predicts that length contraction is a geometric projection effect

Yes .. that is the model that describes what happens in SR.

and
geometric projection is not real physical effect....

It says nothing of the sort .. You don't understand SR, nor the terms used
in physics, so really, you are in no position to comment.

much like you see me to
be shorter from a distance and I see you to be shorter from a distance
even
though we are of the same height. A physically longer pole will not fit
into
a physically shorter barn pole because the pole is moving at a high speed
toward the barn.

That is what SR predicts. Whether you agree about the reality of it is a
different matter. But what SR PREDICTS will happen is that it will fit.

In SR physical length is invariant....

No. It is frame dependent

what is variant is
the light path of a rod [snip nonsense and drivel from kenseto .. he has
stopped talking physics now]
