The Grand Constancy of Light Illusion

Einstein agreed with Lorentz that the null result of the Michelson
Morley experiment (MMX) was caused by the contraction of the parallel
arm of the equipment.


Since the arm is stationary relative to the experimenter, SR, and hence
Einstein, does not say that at all.

Bill, what does SR say about contraction? Does it use the contraction
formula?
