When moving clocks run fast.

Abstract: An asymmetry in Lorentz contraction can be created with a pointlike object in uniform motion relative to another object that has a finite, linear, spatial extent along the line of motion (extended object). Let Dt be the time that elapses as the pointlike object flies by the extended object in the frame of the latter. Let Dt 0 be the time that elapses as the extended object flies by the pointlike object in the frame of the latter. These elapsed times depend upon the frame of reference. However, because the exte… Show more

“…However, the arguments with respect to SR have not ceased since its publishing. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Why could such scene appear? The reasons that SR can obtain plenteous achievements are because it has inherited and extended the Galilean principle of relativity from single Mechanical phenomenon to all physical phenomena and it has also correctly adopted Lorentz transformations (LT).…”
