   : Hmmm.  You've somewhat misstated the underlying assumption.  It's not   
   : "what if relativity isn't true"; it's more like "what if the situation   
   : wrt the Lorentz-Fitzgerald contraction is similar to the Newton   
   : formulation of g versus the modern -- or, even worse, similar to the   
   : Newton formulation of G versus Einstein's?"   
      
   Erm.  No, the cases aren't remotely parallel, so any impliciation of   
   "what if they are similar" can't be read into that conversation so lightly.
