This is specifically forbidden by the first postulate. If we, for some reason, assume that reality must of necessity be expressed in a minimum of two dimensions, the Special Theory would be merely tautological since no conceivable difference between frames in relative motion can be demonstrated. They appear to require the instantaneous transmission of light images. On the other hand, the paper by J. Terrell 7 assumes a physical contraction. In the following assessment, lengths are considered equal and times synchronous in both frames of reference as proven in the preceding analysis.
All observations are along the X axis at a negligible angle.
This amount becomes progressively less as the distance is reduced. When A' is directly opposite B, the two clocks are synchronous. As clock A' recedes, it again trails the clock at B by progressively greater amounts. Time and space merely appear to expand and contract because of the constancy of light in the observer's frame. It has also been demonstrated that synchronism is achievable both theoretically and practically, and that presumed two dimensional time-space modifications would be reciprocal and obviously undetectable.
