condition, the car can _never_ be contained within the garage, as the
garage length shrinks. These are the facts. Why don't you focus on the
facts, instead of on other BS, such as what I will or won't read? These
results are paradoxical if and only if it is assumed there is some
objective reality, such as the objective reality that the car can _OR_
cannot fit in the garage.
*Turns out that's not "objective reality". It's viewpoint dependent.
Surprising, but well understood.*
On the issue of time dilation, please be specific about how time
dilation somehow cancels out space contraction. AG
*Time dilation and space contraction don't "cancel out". What they do
is keep the speed of light the same in all frames of reference.
