You're just obfuscating again, Alan. I said there's not objective reality as to *whether the car fits or not.* Brent Why am I obfuscating. Can't I just be mistaken? Please cease your negative and incorrect mind-reading. OK, from the horse's mouth, yours; does the cat fit or not from the pov of car frame? If it doesn't fit, how is this different from what allegedly caused the alleged paradox in the first place? OTOH, if it does fit in your analysis, then straightforward length calculations using the LT give an incorrect result; that the car can't fit from the car frame. I think you can easily answer these questions without resorting to Heavyside.

When Brent stated there's no objective reality, what do you think he meant? He meant, IMO, that it's OK in relativity for the frames to disagree about fitting. But this is where the idea of a paradox arose; from the frames disagreeing. If I am mistaken, offer a substantive response, if you can, instead of your usual foolishness.
