It looks complicated to you.

I'll
give you the hint as well: the rockets are not points, they are reall
objects made of a material that compresses during launch.

As I said (Google kept a record), for a FULL explanation and all its
effects, then an analysis of accelerated motion in SR is needed.

And, the size of the ships are irrelevant to the main point of the
Bell's rope problem. Suffices to require that the endpoints of the
rope to accelerate identically (wrt grnd). But you could have not
thought that up because its not in a book for you. Have you noticed
that I, Jeckyl, the threadster all side with me here and that Tom and
Dirk do not disagree.


No, crank, the size and the material properties of the rockets are
VERY RELEVANT. It is just that you are such a crank trying to pass
yourself as mainstream. You are right on one account, it is not in any
book, you need to think for yourself in order to realise how this
connects with the OP.

Here is the OP, in order to refresh your memory and clear your
thinking:

"I was talking with a friend of mine on how bodies CANNOT stay rigid
when
they are accelerated. He asked the question - has this effect ever
been
experimentally verified? "
