just a nit pick, your equation for expansion is a good approximation
but the correct equation is
L1=L/sqrt(1-(c/v)^2)

Inertial,

my formula is NOT better than that of Lorentz. Nobody can give
any reason why one should be used over the other. And that makes both
of them wrong.

Inertial,

=================================================
Way to go, Peter.
The only problem is your expansion is actually a contraction,
and Einstein's "contraction" is actually an expansion. Dorks like
the Inert one are too stupid to realise sqrt(1+(c/v)^2) is less than 1.

Which one of these more accurately reflects the state of things?

Except that yours is worse .. it doesn't work other than in the trivial case
of MMX.
