It's probably the start of another attempt to       show a contradiction. It won't work. It's a waste of time.              Sylvia.              [[Mod. note -- I would add (this is directed more to others in       the thread than the author here) that in thinking about relativity       it's generally most productive to focus on *events* and particular       observer's *clock readings* at certain events. The notions of       "length contraction" and "time dialation" are generally harder to       interpret and more prone to confusion.       -- jt]]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
