   Thank you for having so carefully read my paper and written the long   
   comment.   
      
   What is sure in my paper is that no direct measurement of length   
   contraction has been done. This is what I'm trying to propose. Of cause   
   most people think like you and believe that Special Relativity is   
   flawless, because it has passed all tests it faced to until now.   
   However, science needs direct proof.   
      
   I will give more elements later.
