My high school physics textbook explained, and I'm sure many others did too, that Einstein discovered that these two effects cancel out in such a way that no logical contradiction is ever produced, and that's what's required to have a paradox. I'd suggest that you read such a textbook but I know you never will, and even if you did you'd just say the textbook was wrong as were all physicists since 1905. * *John K Clark See what's on my new list at Extropolis <https://groups.google.com/g/extropolis>* tq4 hr -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
