The Relativistic Length Contraction Rebutted

Authors: Radwan M. Kassir

In this paper, it is established that Einstein’s interpretation of the Lorentz transformation in predicting the length contraction is based on invalid assumption with respect to the reference frame in which the simultaneity of events needs to be considered. It is shown that the correct assumption would lead, within the special relativity framework, to contradictory length expansion through the same Lorentz transformation.
