Uniformly moving clocks in special relativity: Time dilatation, but no relativity of simultaneity or length contraction

摘要

Time-like and space-like invariant space-time intervals are used to analysemeasurements of spatial and temporal distances defined by twospatially-separated clocks. The time dilatation effect is confirmed, but not`relativity of simultaneity' or `relativistic length contraction'. How theselatter, spurious, effects arise from misuse of the Lorentz transformation isalso explained.
