Abstract
The contraction of the sizes of the moving bodies in the direction of their motion, as derived from the Lorentz Transforms, is questionable under various aspects. In this paper it is demonstrated instead that the dilation of the lengths, expressed by the Lorentz factor, is physically coherent.
