Summary
Special relativists claim that the length of an object and the distance in its direction of travel shorten if it
moves close to the speed of light. In order to understand what the mathematicians are talking about we
must absolutely come to terms with the words length and distance.
It turns out that the idiots of Mathematics are talking neither about length nor distance, but about distance-
traveled. The infamous 'distance' of Mathematics is a dynamic concept involving ONE object and
measured with clocks. The distance of Physics is between TWO objects, and it makes no sense at all to
attempt to measure it. In Science, it is impossible to measure distance. The differences go on and on.
Of course, if the mathematicians insinuate that they are referring to an empty gap between two objects,
call it a 'length', and explain their contraction theory in terms of displacement, it is not surprising that they
arrive at the ridiculous conclusions we find in Special Relativity. The mathematicians are not saying that
the length or the distance in the photograph is now shorter. The stupid idiots are saying that someone
erased a few of the frames of their film.
