Hmm, doesn't look like a laugh.  Maybe an OMG!  Meaning, you just
realized that Jan is right.  Well, maybe a laugh would be appropriate,
too, meaning "how could I have been so wrong!"

You come up with your D'=D.sqrt[(1+Vo/c)/(1-Vo/c)], which isn't length
contraction but Doppler shift, which is dependent on the sign of your
Vo.  LC is NOT so dependent.  It would be a VERY strange universe if
it were.

You say: "it's a Doppler shift".
And for sqrt(1-Vo?/c?)?
Isn't it a Doppler shift?
Yes, it's also a Doppler shift.
This is what Hachel calls the "internal Doppler effect".
Relativists call it the transverse Doppler effect, but the term is
neither
fair nor pretty.

It was reasonable and fair nomenclature at the time.
People didn't have relativity in order,
and they discussed the motion of electrons in terms of variable masses.
They discovered that the 'longitudinal mass' and the 'transverse mass'
of the electron were different.
It seemed quite reasonable at the time to extend the notion to light,
because the terminology was already current,

Not so much tachyonic though as according to "gravity's speed"
coming down or braking from the standing electrical field wave.

Article the other day, "astonishing new laser-and-thorium setup
reduces the cloud of electron-physics and enables an entirely
new configuration of experiment, that amazingly both refines
and reduces 'what we all thought' as physical constants".
And it's like, wow, the past 30 or 40 years of CODATA doing that
on a continuous basis giving out that there are running constants
has really found a new niche, this new laser-and-thorium setup
is a really great piece of old-wrapped-as-new, or even maybe better,
a chance to unveil collective ignorance.  Well, maybe that's not
better, no-one likes to think they were fooled.
