Lorentz-FitzGerald Length Contraction Context

ID: relativity.lorentz.length_contraction_context

Represents length contraction as the historical bridge from aether-drift null results to Lorentzian kinematics.

Status: diagnostic

Uncertainty

• This diagnostic badge is a theory locator; its claim still needs independent, claim-specific validation.

Claim boundaries

• This badge locates a theory claim; it does not validate a physical effect or engineering application.

Diagnostic context only. Cite independent evidence for claims about the world.
