The Rotating Disk



You are the one that does not want to discuss the issue, by only giving
a link to a web page and then starting (somewhat early I might say)
with the insults.

The question is, Are there certain non-inertial reference frames such
that a bounded region of space is physically larger than as seen from
an inertial (at rest) frame.

But perhaps you do not understand the rotating disk from a relativistic
standpoint?

It is am important example in relativity theory, Landau and Lifshitz
even start their chapter on gravitation in their book, The Classical
Theory of Fields, using it as a basic example of a non-inertial
reference system.

This group, sci.physics.relativity, is the appropriate place to discuss
the subject.
