| Lets suppose we have a flat surface that is
| as far as we know infinite in length and width.
|
| We mark a line and call it the 0 point.
| we then mark lines that are 1 mile away from
| this 0 point so we will have parallel lines every 1 mile.
|
| An observer stays at the 0 point (A)
| a second observer is in a spaceship (B)
| traveling at at .5c and the clock that is
| at the 0 point(A) starts when it (B) passes the 0 point.
| According to basic math and the clock at observer (A)
| position, the object will pass by the 93,000th line in 1 second.
| and the 186,000th line in 2 seconds
| etc...
| (silly basic math)
|
| so...
|
| ( I think it is all stated correctly this time..)
| How many lines would (B) pass if using time dilation
| as a physical fact for (B) according to SR.
|
|
| in 1 second - it would pass 93000 lines - however the observer in (B)
| wouldn't agree that the lines are 1 mile apart.

(they are physically 1 mile apart)
Please explain why observer (B) would not say such?
What physical evidence would (B) have to prove they are not?
