The miraculous corollary of Einstein's false principle of constancy of
the speed of light - length contraction - allows Einsteinians to see
through opaque bodies: see Problem 7 ("Seeing behind the stick"), p. 47
(solution on p. 54), in
http://www.courses.fas.harvard.edu/~phys16/Textbook/ch10.pdf
Seeing through the opaque stick is exciting but Einsteinians experience
something even more exciting. After having moved towards the wall the
rear end of the stick starts moving backward from the wall in an
attempt to restore the proper length of the stick. Einsteinians do see
that backward movement and ask questions: What is its speed? What is
its energy? Sometimes Einsteinians believe the energy of the backward
movement of the rear end is infinite. If it were not, they argue, some
pawl would be able to prevent the stick from restoring its proper
length but no, no, nothing can prevent the stick from restoring its
proper length. Therefore in its backward movement the rear end of the
stick is able to break ANY pawl.
So much excitement makes Einsteinians go into convulsions. Spasms are
regularly interrupted by ecstatic singing. "Divine Einstein" fills the
space:
