    1.0   The claim

    Special Relativity (SR) holds that  a body contracts if it travels almost at the speed of light (near-c):

    " Length contraction, according to the special theory of relativity... is the physical
       phenomenon of a decrease in length detected by an observer in objects that travel
       at any non-zero velocity relative to that observer." [1]

    This phenomenon is so magical that if the object happens to travel exactly at the speed of light, SR
    predicts that it will disappears altogether:

    " An observer at rest viewing an object travelling at the speed of light would observe
       the length of the object in the direction of motion as zero." [2]

    For unknown reasons, relativists have no trouble believing that an object contracts to almost zero, but
    they cannot accept that the object disappears altogether. Therefore, the council of elders has decided
    that no object can travel exactly at the speed of light or greater.

    [As always, the idiots of Mathematics refuse to accept the constraints imposed on
     their personal religions by equations and continue believing that indeed you can
     probably travel faster than light [3] [4] Just don't ask them how. Continue dreaming
     about trekking to the stars and to the past That's what 'science' is all about to them!]

    According to the religion of relativity, speed also affects the distance the object travels:

    " Not only does the box contract, but the distance the photon travels also becomes
       shorter." [5]

    To summarize, Special Relativity says that if an object travels at near-c, its length as well as its distance
    contract! We will discover that Einstein's idiots say that the distance the muon has yet to travel is the
    one that relativity claims suffers a contraction.


    2.0   The proof

    The mathematicians claim to have verified length and distance contraction by observing the behavior of
    a magical particle known as the muon:

    “ Question: Is there any practical proof of time dilation on atomic particles?

       Answer: Yes there is…In nature, subatomic muons are created by cosmic ray
       interaction with the upper atmosphere. At rest, muons disintegrate in about 2 x 10-6
       seconds and should not have time to reach the Earth’s surface given there speed
       and travel distance. Because they move at close to the speed of light, however, time
       dilation extends their life span as seen from Earth so they can be observed at the
       surface before they disintegrate.” [6]

    According to the religion of Quantum Mechanics, the lifetime of this heavy subatomic particle (200 times
    more massive than an electron) is of just over 2 microseconds. This is not enough time for the muon to
    make it from the upper atmosphere, where it starts its brief life as pion debris, to the planet’s surface,
    where it rains like pigeon poop on the heads of relativists (Fig. 1):

    " This is not a visual effect for the muon. If the distance traveled by the muon is not
       physically shorter, the muon simply does not remain in existence long enough to
       make the trip, even at speeds greater than .9c. To the muon, length contraction is
       clearly not merely a visual effect, as the muon is not "seeing" anything. The distance
       to be traveled by the muon from the upper atmosphere to sea level is physically
       shorter than the same distance measured by a slower moving particle." [7]

    " Muons decay into an electron and a neutrino in about 2 £ 10¡6 seconds. This suggests
       a mystery: how can a particle that is produced 20 kilometers about the earth possibly
       reach the ground if it decays in 2 microseconds? Even if the particle were moving at
       nearly the speed of light, it could only move about 600 meters before decaying... from
       the muon's perspective..., the muon is at rest, and the earth's atmosphere is rushing
       past it at 99:99% of the speed of light. This means that the atmosphere is length
       contracted by a factor of 1/γ = 1/71. From the muon's perspective, the atmosphere is
       so thin that it can easily reach the ground." [8]

    You heard it right. The idiots of Mathematics are saying that the atmosphere contracts because a muon
    is traveling fast! Thank God that I don't live near any fast moving muons! I hate to be deprived of air.

    In conclusion, the mathematicians believe that the muon’s unwarranted longevity is proof that Special
    Relativity’s calculations and claims are correct. Objects do indeed contract if they travel at near-c. The
    region of space they traverse also contracts if they travel at near-c. If you truly understood what the
    mathematicians are saying, you should not be able to sleep tonight.

Fig. 1   Long lived the muon!
QM has ‘proven’ that a particle
known as the muon has a lifetime
of 2.2 μs. This is not enough time
to cover its trajectory from cradle to
grave. Relativists explain this
paradox as ‘distance’ contraction.
From the speeding muon’s
perspective, the distance in its
direction of travel decreased.
Another way they state it is that the
medium through which they travel
(in this case the atmosphere)
contracts. Think of the Pacific
Ocean. Relativists say that If one
fish could swim at near-c, the entire
Pacific would shrink to nothing!
China would be part of the U.S.
Australia would bump against
Chile and Peru. The mathemati-
cians claim that these results are
consistent with Special Relativity's

Lorentz-Fitzgerald contraction equation. When you question their logic they tell you to kill
your ignorance by studying Math. If this fails to convince you, perhaps you should listen to
the testimonials of Nobel and Templeton Prize winners. You have no way of convincing these
bastards that the intuition and common sense of every person on the planet, including every
mathematician, demonstrates that something is wrong with their logic. A mathematician will
continue to believe and attempt to convince you that his parachute will open according to his
calculations even when you show him that he strapped on your empty backpack by mistake.
A relativist is an autistic idiot by nature and not because he became one in college.
