2978:, but I found your original wording confusing. "In a spacetime setting the length of a rigid object is defined by the spatial distance of the two events made up of the ends of this object at the same time." The ends of the object are not events, but follow world lines. So you intended that the length of the object should mean the spatial distance between two events, having the same time coordinates, selected from the world lines of the two ends. This spatial distance would, in general, be less than the length measured in the rest frame of the object (i.e. its proper length). In the rest frame of the object, however, it is not at all necessary that the selected events have the same time coordinate. 489: 971:. Lorentz considered local time not to be "real"; rather, it represented an ad hoc change of variable. Impressed by Lorentz's "most ingenious idea", Poincaré saw more in local time than a mere mathematical trick. It represented the actual time that would be shown on a moving observer's clocks. On the other hand, Poincaré did not consider this measured time to be the "true time" that would be exhibited by clocks at rest in the aether. The multiplication of hypotheses led to disturbing conflicts with classical mechanics, including violation of Newton's third law of action and reaction. 3712: 229: 384: 363: 63: 633: 479: 452: 283: 262: 3008:
time-varying lenght, as observed from different frames, never getting longer than some distinguished length, one might call a proper length. I do not know how fruitful it is to continue measuring lengths at different times, which only works in the rest frame of the object, and I expressed my doubts about leaving the notion of length in its "trivial" setting of Galileian spacetime.

Your 5-3a is way too busy. Since this illustration describes the situation in the frame of the source, the analysis should be an almost trivial application of time dilation.
