Can the Lorentz-Fitzgerald Contraction Hypothesis Be Real?.

Abstract
We have shown that choosing a different set of postulates enables us to cancelthe Lorentz Transformation (LT) from the main body of special relativity theory (SRT). These new sets of postulates include Lorentz`s force as well as Maxwell`s field equations within the main body of SRT and apply the relativity principle rather than the special relativity principle. Hence, this approach excludes the role of the relativistic length contraction, and as a result, the Lorentz-Fitzgerald contraction hypothesis is only a consequence of using the Lorentz`s real force besides Maxwell`s equations. We use the well-known examples to confirm that the relativistic length contrac­tion is not required in relativistic electrodynantics.
