21. Consequently, both time dilation and length contraction must be considered when conducting experiments in particle accelerators. 22. :This is not a paradox, it just displays a complete misunderstanding of relativistic length contraction . 23. Length contraction advocates, please explain . Preceding contribs ) 14 : 32, 29 October 201324. From the perspective of the grate, the rod undergoes a length contraction and fits into the grate. 25. Or does it expand " freely " without " being pulled ", similar to relativistic length contraction ? 26. It doesn't make sense to me that " actual length contractions occur locally " ." 27. Basically, LCcritic seems to understand relativity as saying that length contraction is a change as an illusion. 28. Also Lorentz ( 1892b ) proposed length contraction independently from FitzGerald in order to explain the Michelson Morley experiment. 29. If the length contraction is given in meters per second instead of meters, length contraction would be permanent. 30. If the length contraction is given in meters per second instead of meters, length contraction would be permanent.
