No idiot...it is not observer dependent. Every observer will agree that before the head of the rivet hit the wall and after the head of the rivet hit the wall are two different instants of time....the before occurs first and the after occurs later. >Consider the following: > > 1--A--------------------B--2 > > A is 1 lightyear from Star 1 and 10 lightyears from Star 2. > B is 1 lightyear from Star 2 and 10 lightyears from Star 1. > Nothing in this diagram is moving relative to anything else in > the diagram.

But length contraction in SR is related to matter/material/physical contraction. All those other meanings for "physical" is not applicable to length contraction in SR. Matter/material/physcial length contraction in SR causes the bug dies at two different instants of time.

ROTFLOL....so before and after of an event are not two different instants of time.

Every observer will agree >that before the head of the rivet hit the wall and after the head of >the rivet hit the wall are two different instants of time....the >before occurs first and the after occurs later. It is observer dependent - the two events (rivet tip hitting the bug and the rivet head hitting the wall) are what SR calls spatially separated. See below. >>Consider the following: >> >> 1--A--------------------B--2 >> >> A is 1 lightyear from Star 1 and 10 lightyears from Star 2. >> B is 1 lightyear from Star 2 and 10 lightyears from Star 1. >> Nothing in this diagram is moving relative to anything else in >> the diagram. >Your stupid example is observer dependent because it depends on how >far the observer away from the source. You don't realize it of course, but you nearly caught a clue. The two events *are* separated by a distance. A distance that is larger in comparison than the time difference (c^2 * (delta-t)^2 < (delta-r)^2 where delta-t is the time difference and delta-r is the space distance) so that which event happens first is observer dependent. There are also frames where the two events happen simultaneously. In the case of the two stars, it's anywhere on the plane of points equidistant between them while stationary. SR calls this a space-like interval. On the other hand, if the distance in spacetime is less than the time distance between two events (c^2 * (delta-t)^2 > (delta-r)^2) then it is true that for *all* observers, one of the events definitely happened before the other. SR calls this a time-like interval. It also means perhaps the first event caused the second event, which is impossible for the space-like interval (it's impossible for one of the two stars going nova to cause the other star to go nova) Nearly all of our world experience is in this category. Your confusion is because your common sense is lying to you by making you think that *all* pairs of events fall in this category. Guess what? The bug/rivet problem falls into the first category and not the second. The distance between the two events (whether the length of the rivet shaft or the depth of the hole, depending on your reference frame) exceeds the time difference between the events so that it is not true for *all* observers that one event happened before the other. The time difference is very small due to the relativistic speed of the rivet. BTW there is a frame where the events are simultaneous in time - in other words, there is a reference frame where the bug gets squished at the *exact instant* the rivet head hits the wall. You really really really need to read a book on SR. The discussion how Space-like intervals, time-like intervals and light-like intervals work can help you learn the bug-rivet problem.

Length contraction in SR is NOT material contraction.

I'm sorry, but the meaning of "physical" applies where physicists say it applies, not where YOU think it applies. You have to learn the meaning of terms used in physics before you even attempt to discuss physics with physicists.
