  • How Einsteinians Trap Long Objects Inside Short Containers

    From Pentcho Valev@21:1/5 to All on Sat May 13 14:31:12 2023
    Einstein's 1905 constant-speed-of-light falsehood entails that unlimitedly long objects can be gloriously trapped inside unlimitedly short containers. Trapped objects "bend, snap, or explode"! This is immeasurably more idiotic than (picking a random
    example) flat-earth drivel:

    "The ladder paradox (or barn-pole paradox) is a thought experiment in special relativity. It involves a ladder, parallel to the ground, travelling horizontally at relativistic speed (near the speed of light) and therefore undergoing a Lorentz length
    contraction. The ladder is imagined passing through the open front and rear doors of a garage or barn which is shorter than its rest length, so if the ladder was not moving it would not be able to fit inside. To a stationary observer, due to the
    contraction, the moving ladder is able to fit entirely inside the building as it passes through...We can physically trap the ladder once it is fully inside the garage. This could be done, for instance, by not opening the exit door again after we close it.
    In the frame of the garage, we assume the exit door is immovable, and so when the ladder hits it, we say that it instantaneously stops. By this time, the entrance door has also closed, and so the ladder is stuck inside the garage. As its relative
    velocity is now zero, it is not length contracted, and is now longer than the garage; it will have to bend, snap, or explode." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladder_paradox

    Inspired by Einstein's constant-speed-of-light nonsense, Einsteinians trap unlimitedly long objects inside unlimitedly short containers IN A COMPRESSED STATE:

    "These are the props. You own a barn, 40m long, with automatic doors at either end, that can be opened and closed simultaneously by a switch. You also have a pole, 80m long, which of course won't fit in the barn...So, as the pole passes through the barn,
    there is an instant when it is completely within the barn. At that instant, you close both doors simultaneously, with your switch...If it does not explode under the strain and it is sufficiently elastic it will come to rest and start to spring back to
    its natural shape but since it is too big for the barn the other end is now going to crash into the back door and the rod will be trapped IN A COMPRESSED STATE inside the barn." http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/SR/barn_pole.html

    If it does not explode...what if the trapped object explodes? A 100 km long object is gloriously trapped inside a 5 cm long container, tries to restore its proper length (100 km), and...explodes (powerful explosion, isn't it, Einsteinians?).
