   Re: How to measure a Lorentz contraction

   I like it. Simple and do-able. Should   
   be able to swing a 3 foot wire at 3 or   
   4 Hz by hand with the hand end of the   
   wire clamped to a scope. I have spectrum   
   lab audio analyzer software on a lap top   
   for VLF whistlers , moving sky charges.   
   With this most of what is needed is already   
   in place. As you have already done this I   
   can proceed with confidence. One concern.   
   Standing in the middle of no where spinning   
   a 3 foot wire while looking at a lap top could   
   draw unwanted attention. I am tested for   
   a better WIFI connection officer , that's   
   my story and I am sticking to it.   
      
   As to your dislike of the Lorentz contraction   
   interpretation of magnetism you are not alone.   
   I can say from my shoes it grows on you   
   over time. How often is there an opportunity   
   to toss a fundamental force in nature such   
   as magnetism straight into the trash bin?   
   One less to worry about.
