ent way (in fact only illuminated dierently in its own
rest frame) can be seen to expand. Certainly both effects
cannot be dynamically explained. In fact the Lorentz
Transformation, as applied to space-time, describes only
the appearance of space-time events, a purely geometrical
property. The apparent distortions are of geometrical
origin, the space-time analogues of the apparent
distortions of objects in space, described by the laws of
perspective, when they are linearly projected into a two
dimensional sub-space by a camera or the human eye."

"Abstract - A careful study is made of the operational
meaning of the time symbols appearing in the spacetime
Lorentz transformation. Four distinct symbols,
with different physical meanings, are needed to describe
reciprocal measurements involving stationary and
uniformly-moving clocks. Physical predictions concern
only the observed rate of a clock as a function of its
relative speed, not its setting. How the failure to make
this distinction leads to the conventional predictions of
spurious 'relativity of simultaneity' and 'length contraction'
effects in special relativity is explained."
S. 6: "The spurious RS and LC effects are the result
of a confusion between arbitary clock settings and
physical time intervals. Physics determines only the
rates of clocks. Their settings are arbitary and have no
physical significance. - Even though it is clear from
the above that the RS effect predicted by conventional
special relativity theory results from an erroneous
argument, its existence (or non-existence) is still
experimentally testable. Some specific satellite-borne
experiments have recently been proposed to search for
the RS effect [9, 10]. At the time of writing, there is

"Abstract. - A sign error in an angle while drawing the
original Minkowski plot has persisted for a century in
text books and the pedagogical literature. When it is
corrected, the 'length contraction' effect derived from
the geometry of the plot disappears. It is also shown
how the 'relativity of simultaneity' effect that has been
derived from the plot results from a lack of correspondence
between certain geometrical projections on
the plot and the properties of the physical system - two
spatially separated and synchronised clocks in a common
inertial frame - that they are purported to describe."

"Summary. - The manifest translational invariance
of the TD relations in (2.13) demonstrate the spurious
nature of correlated 'relativity of simultaneity' and 'length
contraction' effects that have hitherto, following Einstein
[1], been derived from the LT, as explained in
previous papers by the present author [2, 3, 4] and
Section 2 of the present paper.
Alternative derivations of 'length contraction' from
the geometry of the Minkowski plot are shown to be
flawed by a sign error in an angle, when drawing the x'
and t' axes on the original Minkowski plot [5], which
has been propagated, uncorrected, in essentially all textbook
treatments of the subject, as well as the use projection
operations at variance with those required by the
LT. When the correct projection and scaling operations
