But it does meet that requirement. I showed you exactly how, just the
other day.
It seems you are slipping, NoEinstein, no longer able to remember what
was said the day before.
So each day is brand new to you. You could hide your own Christmas

It's a shame you've slipped into senility, but it does give me pause
on how much effort to expend on a serious reply to you.

This from the man who can't find the ISBN number of a book, and can't
accurately copy down a Library of Congress catalog number.

Sure. You also asked for experimental evidence for time dilation and I
gave you a good example. I sure hope that hasn't slipped your mind
already. After all, that was just a day or so ago.

But in the present case, I'll tell you about the RHIC collider, where
nuclei are scattered from nuclei. Here, it is important that the
density of the material in the nuclei be high enough to generate the
signal they are looking for. And the relativistic shortening of the
nuclei along the direction of travel lowers the nuclear volume and
therefore increases the density. This effect was directly built into
the RHIC design, so that it would fail catastrophically if it weren't
there. But the effect has indeed been seen, and so we know that RHIC
did not fail catastrophically, and therefore we know that relativistic
length contraction does in fact act.

Again, this is but one example.

So, recapping, you asked for any single experiment that shows evidence
of time dilation, and I gave you one. You asked for any single
experiment that shows evidence of length contraction, and I gave you
one.
