What the observer sees as contraction is actually a rotation of the observed object due to the optical wavefront compression. Watch the sign in the second part of the video. On Tue, Mar 4, 2014 at 9:33 PM, H Veeder hveeder...@gmail.com wrote: rotation of what? harry On Tue, Mar 4, 2014 at

What you see in this video is how SR effects light rays coming into a camera or an eye. SR says length contraction is literally length contraction. It does not say it is illusion of rotation. Length contraction can happen with or without illumination so it should be apprehended with your sense of
