Is the Lorentz transform applicable to speeds that are lower than light only?Because I'm trying to calculate length contraction of objects moving at speed c (not near it) and it turns always 0. Is my calculation correct?Please help I'm just a beginner
Suppose a 5 m object is traveling at c,so x'=x/γ
\begin{align} x&=x'\sqrt{(1- (v^2)⁄(c^2)}\\ x&=5\sqrt{1-1}\\ x&=5\sqrt0\\ x&=0 \end{align} Not infinite right? If so then the rule will have no length?
