Lets have a 100 kilogram 1 cubic meter cube, moving
at 0.5c around a circular path that has a radius of 250,000 miles
and the face of the cube is always facing us.
If length contraction truly occurs physically,
What is the new volume and density of the cube?
How does a density change with "speed" alone?
How does a volume change with speed alone?
How many silly people are going to continue
to think the physical length changed at all from speed alone
and also caused a volume and denstity change also because
of such?

If these things were probabilistic, you would'nt be singing that tune. |

They are "problem-istic"
I could care less about probabilistic
