Lorentz-contraction formula from non-simultaneous events
Aleksandar Gjurchinovski
Abstract
We present a derivation of the relativistic length-contraction formula based on Lorentz space-time transformations on non-simultaneous events. Our derivation avoids the disputable story about the stationary observer and its simultaneous measurements of object's end-points.
