Uniformly moving clocks in special relativity: Time dilatation, but no relativity of simultaneity or length contraction
J. H. Field
Abstract
Time-like and space-like invariant space-time intervals are used to analyse measurements of spatial and temporal distances defined by two spatially-separated clocks. The time dilatation effect is confirmed, but not `relativity of simultaneity' or `relativistic length contraction'. How these latter, spurious, effects arise from misuse of the Lorentz transformation is also explained.
