Ruler measurements give space-time-transformation-independent invariant lengths (1307.7962v1)
Published 30 Jul 2013 in physics.gen-ph
Abstract: Two thought experiments are described in which ruler measurements of spatial intervals are performed in different reference frames. They demonstrate that such intervals are frame-independent as well as independent of the nature of the space-time transformation equations. As explained in detail elsewhere, the `length contraction' effect of conventional special relativity theory is therefore spurious and unphysical.
