25. K Calculus (#1/6): The twin paradox that can be understood by common sense

  Let's take a look at K Calculus from now on six times. K calculus was Hermann Bondi's first proposed relativistic calculation method. The important thing is that we start  using basic common sense . I f we do this, it will therefore be very easy.    This method starts using simple common sense, and can derive the time dilation,  velocity-addition formula , relativistic Doppler effect, and the Lorentz transformation itself. And during 5th and 6th time, I will point out the error of the length contraction and prove the length expansion through K Calculus.    I need a few posts to do that. After explaining that k calculus is a relativistically correct method, we will talk about 'the principle of invariant light speed and length'. I will describe it in the manner described by Bondi. I will let you know and explain in advance what the different is between Bondi's method and my own.    This method only deals with moving in one direction. This is the only dra

24. The Companion Effect Rule, New rules of relativity theory

    There are several principles in relativity. There is the principle of invariant light speed in special relativity, and the  equivalence principle  in general relativity. These principles are an absolute and essential requirement in describing relativity.    However, these principles alone cannot describe all of relativity. The basic ideas, mathematical tools and basic promises that mankind has built up to date must be guaranteed. If these basic promises are not followed, we cannot talk about anything.    Arrangement of things about arithmetic, basic promises about functions, rules about space-time diagram, scientific terms ... These are basically things that need to be kept in mind. If we do not trust each other about these things, we cannot really discuss the theory of relativity.    In fact, because we did not follow these basic rules, there were some difficult problems with the theory of relativity. So to correct it, we have to create a new rule. Now, let's start

23. Confrontation of black hole and length contraction

   A black hole is a very gravitational star. So black holes devour the surrounding matter, and even light cannot escape them. There is a singular point in the very center of a black hole. When an object is sucked into this singularity, its appearance is very strange.    As the object is sucked into the black hole, it is sucked into the singular point as the length increases infinitely by tidal gravity in the vicinity of the horizon. This part is very characteristic. In the theory of length contraction, however, this is a little bit different. In length contraction theory, when the speed of an object reaches a relativistic speed, the length approaches zero. It means that it gets very short. This part collides head-on with the explanation that the length of the black hole is increased by tidal gravity to infinity. So, now I will ask you a question. When an object falls into a black hole, Does the length of the object shrink to zero? Or is it stretching to infinity?
