|    Can the 2 ends of a ruler move in opposi    |

      From: titang78@gmail.com              Hello everyone, I search for an answer to a problem about length       contraction.              If we have a ruler of length L, its near end is at x=0 and far end       at x=L when stationary. If we put it in motion, its length is       contracted to L/gamma. At time t, it moves the distance s. So, its       near end is at x=s and far end at x=s+L/gamma. For any s and any       velocity, its far end's will be smaller than L if L is sufficiently       long. That is, while its near end moves to the right, far end moves       the left. This is so weird.              You can see the computation here, page 4 from figure 13 and on, in the page       https://pengkuanonphysics.blogspot.com/2019/08/from-michelsonmor       ey-experiment-to.html       or https://www.academia.edu/40208137/From_Michelson-Morley_expe       iment_to_length_contraction              Does anyone have an idea?              PK              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
