18. Romeo and Juliet in Relativity
Romeo and Juliet were passionately in love, but their tale eventually ended in tragedy. Occasionally, a first love may bear fruit, but Romeo and Juliet did not. In relativity, there is a pair with a similar fate. It is "length contraction and time dilation". These are fates that can never be achieved.
Those who anticipate love that cannot be done
Romeo and Juliet loved each other, but the "length contraction and time dilation" couples are a little different. Time dilation is certainly the existence of confirmed reality, but length contractions are merely hypotheses that have not been proven. Over a hundred years, there is not a single piece of experimental evidence.
Below are people who point out these problems of length contraction. In fact, there are many who point out these problems. In the link below, Buenker in Germany is aware of the expansion of the length and is the one who claims that the expansion is correct. 1) The person on the left side of the picture below is Professor Buenker in Germany.

Rather than the theoretical proof here, I will mention mainly experimental facts. Because it is an obvious phenomenon occurring in nature, nobody can deny it.
If you deny these experimental observations, I will tell you later what logical problems are occurring. You will see an extreme 'Wag the dog' phenomenon, with the tail wagging the dog's body.
Firstly, let's look at the phenomenon within the particle accelerator. Many particles within the particle accelerator move at relativistic speed. A sufficiently accelerated proton can move at a rate of 99.9999% of the speed of light. In this case, the value of the Lorentz factor γ reaches about 7000.
Evidence presented by particle accelerators
In fact, we tested the effects of relativity using accelerators, and we look at the content submitted in the paper. Let's take a look at Bailey's papers published in 1977. Muon particles are detected by particle accelerators. In this Bailey experiment, the muon move ran at a constant rate of 0.9994185c after the muon occurred. At this time, the value of Lorentz factor γ is about 30 (29.33). Generally, muons run for a proper time (about 2.1948 μ sec) and then disappear. If so, the distance that the muon can run is about 660m. In relativity theory, the following relationship holds between the proper physical quantity and the observed physical quantity.
It is an expression of length contraction, time dilation, mass increase. It is about the L, T, M dimension that all of the changes in these three dimensions happen together. When the length shrinks, the time is delayed at the same time, and with it, the mass increase also occurs. The length shrinks, but it is impossible not to have a time dilation.
For muons, "length contraction, time dilation and mass increase" occur together. If so, the proper flight distance and proper flight times are about 660 m and 2.2 μ sec, so if the length contraction and time dilation occur within the accelerator:
Length contraction effect: 660 m → 22 m
Time dilation effect: 2.2μsec → 64.4μsec → 22,450 m
According to length contraction theory, the distance that a muon can run is 22 meters, and the distance that a muon can move due to time dilation is 22 kilometers. There is a difference of about 1000 times. Why are they different? Let's take a picture of this. According to the length contraction, it will be destroyed at point B after it is generated, and will disappear at point D according to the time dilation. Bailey, K. Borer, F. Combley, H. Drumm, F. Krienen, F. Lange, E. Picasso, W. Von Ruden, F. J. M. Farley, J. H. Field, W. Flegel & P. M. Hattersley, 《 Measurements of relativistic time dilatation for positive and negative muons in a circular orbit 》, Nature 268, 301-305(1977).

Does one muon collapse in two places? Obviously, if the length contraction is correct, it will collapse at B, and if the time dilation is correct, it will collapse at D. It does not happen that alternately collapses in two places or collapses in two places at the same time. The reality is one. The experiment actually collapses in D. Time dilation occurs, but length contraction never occurs. This is clear evidence that the time dilation and length contraction theory collide with each other. If you compare this with a picture, it is as follows.

The two theories are too far apart to combine. Theoretically, the place where the length contraction collapses, relative to the time dilation is too far apart. It seems impossible to bridge the gap between the two theories.
Evidence presented by sea level
The same phenomenon is true of observing muons flying in space. The theory of length contraction theory must be collapsed at 40 m after generation, and the time dilation theory sufficiently reaches 10 km. By the way, the real experiment reaches sea level below 10km. Again natural phenomena do not follow length contraction but follow time dilation. To explain this phenomenon with length contraction, we have to make a strange assumption that the earth should be flat like a pen cake. Nature is always on the side of time dilation.

GPS always matches time dilation, but does not always match length contraction. Honda Electronics' practical GPS expert Masanori Sato said,
One of the famous relativistic effects, the transverse Doppler effect, is consistent with the time dilation, but the length contraction is strongly rejected. I have already posted about this, so I will not explain it here. In the case of a collision between length contraction and time dilation, the time dilation overwhelmed the victory.
" If there is Lorentz contraction, the GPS cannot work so precisely. "

Length contraction is not a partner of time dilation
Partner of time dilation is hidden. The hidden partner of time dilation is not a length contraction. It is the length expansion theory. Experimental predictions of time dilation and length expansion are always consistent.

Length expansion effect: 660 m → 22,450 m
Time dilation effect: 2.2μsec → 64.4μsec → 22,450 m
The muon collapse points predicted by two theories (time dilation and length expansion) are exactly the same. It is a fact that no one can deny that muon is found in D, not B. It is a good theory to explain this well, and if any theory cannot explain it well, it should be excluded from our consideration. In that sense, length contraction is a theory that should be excluded, and length expansion is a theory that must be considered.
Due to some facts below, the theory of length expansion is supported.
(2) To illustrate the phenomenon of sea level reaching the muon, you do not have to give an unnatural explanation that the earth is flat like a pen cake. Rather, length expansion can naturally explain the phenomenon of sea level reaching the muon from the point of view of the earth.
(3) If the time dilation and the length contraction are matched, the principle of invariant light speed is violated. However, if the time delay and the length expansion are matched, the principle of invariant light speed is accurately maintained.
(4) Time dilation and space-time symmetry are not length contractions but length expansions.
......
In addition, many facts support 'time dilation-length expansion' rather than 'time dilation-length contraction' pair. Please calculate it by hand. If "time dilation and length contraction" is like the story of Romeo and Juliet, "time dilation and length expansion" can be likened to the "Chun-hyan-gjeon" story of Korea. The story of Romeo and Juliet ends with tragedy, but the story of Chun-hyan-gjeon ends with happiness. Eventually, the legitimacy of the length expansion will be revealed.

Experimental facts represent the voice of nature as it is. If nature says it's right, it's right, and if it says that nature is wrong, it's wrong. The final conclusion of science must always be left to the choice of nature.
