Why doth Lorentz x,y,z dimensions not remain contracted?

1. The particles in the length remain intact upon the return but the
particles in the hour glass remain less?

Is Bilge Bald?


2. The dimensions in the line of travel only contract where as the
particles in the hour glass dilate no matter what direction?


No but is Bilge Bald?

Since time is dilated by a factor in a moving frame, the
volume of space-time can only be preserved if the volume
of ordinary 3-space is reduced by the same factor. As is
well-known, this is achieved by length contraction along
the direction of motion by a factor [gamma] .


Well well well Sue, were have ye been?

The question was not why length contracts, but why lenght uncontracts
where as time remains contracted (diltated).


It contracts and uncontracts as necessary for the co-ordinate
system you choose. If you don't want it to change, work only
in one gauge.

What does an electric gauge have to do with time that doesn't
uncontract?
