Rebuttal to G.D’Abramo Paper “Astronomical Distances and Velocities and Special Relativity”

Abstract

In a recent paper published in the Annales de la Fondation Louis de Brogle. G.D’Abramo analyses several aspects of special relativity, including the well-known relativistic muon experiments. In the abstract, mr. D’Abramo states that: “We shall do that by providing a reanalysis of the so-called Andromeda paradox and by revisiting the standard explanation of the muon lifetime dilation given when this phenomenon is observed from muon’s perspective”. In the following note we will expose a basic misunderstanding in mr. D’Abramo when it comes to the explanations of the muon lifetime and to Andromeda paradox.
