In other words the null result of Michelson Morley was attributed to the affects of length contraction in the direction of motion and time dilation in the frame effectively canceling each other to yield a net result of no change of length in the direction of motion.My point is that if time dilation in a frame affects length in the direction of motion it must also affect length perpendicular to the direction of motion in the same manner unless there is a good reason that it doesn't.Thank you, Butch
