EXCERPTS FROM EINSTEIN'S 1911 PAPER: On the Influence of Gravitation on
the Propagation of Light
[snip]
Actually space-contraction after motion was arrived
at long before that, where what you're looking at
is ten different things mashed into a muddy wad,
and what you're looking at is what _you're_ seeing.
Length contraction was one of the first proposed solutions for saving
the ether from the MMX, and was the first discarded as ad hoc nonsense,
and rightly so.
Until Lorentz made it respectable,
by deriving it from his electron theory.
So it is usually called Lorentz contraction these days,
(or Lorentz-Fitzgerald)
