Default Reductio ad Absurdum Topples Einstein's Relativity

"Einstein's Relativistic Train in a Tunnel Paradox: Special Relativity" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xrqj88zQZJg

At 9:01 in the above video Sarah sees the train falling through the hole, and in order to save Einstein's relativity, the authors of the video inform the gullible world that Adam as well sees the train falling through the hole. However Adam can only see this if the train undergoes an absurd bending first, as shown at 9:53 in the video and in this pictu

Clearly we have reductio ad absurdum: An absurd bending is required - it does occur in Adam's reference frame but doesn't in Sarah's. Conclusion: The underlying premise, Einstein's 1905 constant-speed-of-light postulate, is false.

Default Reductio ad Absurdum Topples Einstein's Relativity

Einstein's relativity predicts that unlimitedly long objects can gloriously be trapped, "in a compressed state", inside unlimitedly short containers:

John Baez: "These are the props. You own a barn, 40m long, with automatic doors at either end, that can be opened and closed simultaneously by a switch. You also have a pole, 80m long, which of course won't fit in the barn. [....] So, as the pole passes through the barn, there is an instant when it is completely within the barn. At that instant, you close both doors simultaneously, with your switch. [...] If it does not explode under the strain and it is sufficiently elastic it will come to rest and start to spring back to its natural shape but since it is too big for the barn the other end is now going to crash into the back door and the rod will be trapped in a compressed state inside the barn." http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physic...barn_pole.html

"If it does not explode..." - can it explode? Yes, the effect deserves to be called "Einstein explosion" - it can only occur in Einstein's schizophrenic world:

"In a more complicated version of the paradox, we can physically trap the ladder once it is fully inside the garage. This could be done, for instance, by not opening the exit door again after we close it. In the frame of the garage, we assume the exit door is immovable, and so when the ladder hits it, we say that it instantaneously stops. By this time, the entrance door has also closed, and so the ladder is stuck inside the garage. As its relative velocity is now zero, it is not length contracted, and is now longer than the garage; it will have to bend, snap, or explode."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladder_paradox

That is, Divine Albert's Divine Theory allows a scenario in which the volume of the trapped object is reduced, say, one million times, and then the object explodes and restores its original volume! What kind of explosion is this, Einsteinians? Just an idiotic consequence of Einstein's 1905 false constant-speed-of-light postulate? No? The postulate cannot be false? The Einsteinian lunacy should remain an inherent feature of our civilization forever?

See, at 7:12 in the video below, how the train is trapped "in a compressed state" inside the tunnel:

It is not difficult to realize that trapping unlimitedly long objects inside unlimitedly short containers implies unlimited compressibility and drastically violates the law of conservation of energy. The compressed object, in trying to restore its original volume, would produce an enormous amount of work the energy for which comes from nowhere.

Default Reductio ad Absurdum Topples Einstein's Relativity

John Norton: The figure shows the bare essentials of the moving clock and all the other clocks spread out along the platform. [...] In short, the moving clock is found to have slowed. It runs at half the speed of the clocks at rest on the platform:

http://www.pitt.edu/~jdnorton/teachi...y/Clocks_1.png

John Norton's site: http://www.pitt.edu/~jdnorton/teachi...ity/index.html

In Norton's scenario, the single clock is "moving" and the many clocks spread out along the platform are "at rest". Norton correctly concludes that, according to special relativity,

"the MOVING clock is found to have slowed".

However, if the single clock is at rest and the many clocks spread out along the platform are moving past it, Norton will have to conclude that, according to special relativity,

the clock AT REST is found to have slowed.

So if the many clocks spread out along the platform move along some closed polygonal line and so repeatedly meet the single clock at rest, one comes to the conclusion that, according to special relativity, the clock at rest lags behind moving clocks. In terms of the twin paradox, the twin at rest remains younger than his traveling brother.

The twin paradox is actually an absurdity - the underlying premise, Einstein's 1905 constant-speed-of-light postulate, is false.
