Very Special Relativity: An Illustrated Guide
By Sander Bais
Harvard University Press
"But why is the speed of light constant? While moving at half the speed of light, if you shine a torch ahead of you, why wouldn't that beam of light travel at one-and-a-half times the speed of light? Bais's basic vector diagrams are like a fan which sucks the fog from your head. He should really get a job teaching this stuff. Oh, he already has. Does the pole fit in the barn? Bais does his best to explain the FitzGerald-Lorentz contraction: that an object in motion becomes contracted in the direction of motion. But it all unravels when a pole in motion enters a barn, or a barn in motion envelops a pole. Does the pole fit or not? It depends on who you ask and where he is at the time."
It also depends on Einsteinians' ability to reopen the doors of the barn "pretty quickly":

"These are the props. You own a barn, 40m long, with automatic doors at either end, that can be opened and closed simultaneously by a switch. You also have a pole, 80m long, which of course won't fit in the barn....So, as the pole passes through the barn, there is an instant when it is completely within the barn. At that instant, you close both doors simultaneously, with your switch. Of course, you open them again pretty quickly, but at least momentarily you had the contracted pole shut up in your barn."
Also, jobs Einsteinians have would be in danger if the bug were unable to be both dead and alive and if Einstein zombie world had not forgotten what REDUCTIO AD ABSURDUM means:
