SR diameter decreases;
GR diameter increases

    The gravity defense also fails because the expansion of space is not synonymous with the curvature of
    space or space-time (i.e., gravity). Flat space-time is gravity-free but not inflation-free. In ‘flat space-time,’
    the expansion of space is synonymous with an increase in distance between objects and is as much a
    part of SR theory as a decrease in distance. The fact that we are talking about flat space does not mean
    that a circle cannot increase in size. Therefore, relativists may argue that you cannot bring gravity into
    the picture to challenge SR contraction. They may not argue that you cannot introduce objections
    having to do with distance.

    Again, I have another punch line. I lost count. Maybe it’s the third or fourth. The mathematical physicists
    regard a photon to be an elementary particle.

    " the photon is the elementary particle responsible for electromagnetic
       phenomena." [1]

    This means that from a conceptual point of view, it is not made of tinier material.

    " In particle physics, an elementary particle or fundamental particle is a
       particle not known to have substructure; that is, it is not known to be
       made up of smaller particles." [2]

    This doesn't mean that the mathematicians know for sure that the alleged photon is made of smaller
    components. The scientific method merely requires the prosecutor to use his terms consistently. If for
    the purposes of Mathematical Physics, the mathematicians define the term elementary particle as
    indivisible and they allege that the photon is one such particle, they cannot change these definitions to
    accommodate their theories.

    The stretching of the photon implies exactly the contrary: that it is made of tinier components.
    Mathematical Physics has so many contradictions that we may yet discover the true meaning of the
    word 'infinite.'

    Thus, pursuant to their own assumptions, relativists cannot determine whether the lengths or distances
    expand or contract at any speed in Special Relativity because the Lorentz-Fitzgerald equation makes
    no provision for GR inflation. If a boy travels at near-c from Galaxy A to Galaxy B, SR predicts that an
    observer located in stationary Galaxy C will measure a decrease in the distance from the boy to Galaxy
    B. GR, on the other hand, predicts that because of inflation, the observer will measure an increase in the
    same distance (Fig. 2). Which is it going to be and by how much?

SR is gravity-free, but not inflation-free
SR predicts that the diameter of a sphere will
shrink if it travels at near-c. GR predicts that
the same volume of space will expand due to
inflation. So which is it?

Fig. 2   Increase or decrease?
According to SR, the distance between the traveler and Galaxy B decreases
the faster he goes. According to GR, the distance between Galaxies A and B
increases due to cosmic inflation. A photon is also stretched by this spatial
expansion. This photon-stretching version contradicts the explanation
general relativists give for Olbers’ Paradox, which holds that the reason
photons from stars don’t reach us has to do with the fact that space
increases between us and the  photons. If the photon stretcheslike a
rubber band together with space, the light from all the stars should be upon
us, and the official explanation for Olbers’ Paradox is absolute bunk! The
reader should also factor in that the mechanics claim that we have photons
going from atom to atom within our bodies! If photons stretch, so should
our bodies! You should be exploding as we speak!
