Not direct evidence, if that's what you want. No-one's taken a photo of something zooming past at nearly c (because there's nothing big enough that goes that fast). How about a match stick, a long one! Has NASA tried to put all the high-tech fuel into launching one of those (a match-stick will the lift-off force of those massive rockets), that would be some speedy matchstick and we can see that length contracted, no? Oh, tell NASA to cut the top off the matchstick, see we don't want a fire :-) |
