The Lorentz-Latitude Hypothesis for the Gleason Map describes the physical contractions relative to us as we travel through the aether.
Lorentz Ether Theory interprets the observed effects, such as time dilation and length contraction, as changes in the physical world rather than as changes in the perception of time and space as in Einstein’s theory of relativity.
Special relativity uses the Lorentz transformations to make all of its experimental predictions. Lorentz Ether Theory also uses the Lorentz transform to make all of its experimental predictions. Any result that is predicted by one is predicted by the other. Their disagreements are entirely philosophical or metaphysical.
The interesting thing to note is that when these two objects are brought side by side, they are the same size. Even though far away they are apparently measured differently relative to the observer’s latitude.
