Why does the local observer (in a moving frame) not use the same universal standard meter (and standard clock) as defined everywhere else (instead of his local meter and local clock)?
A – Because he is unable to do it. The only standard meter (or standard clock) available to him in his local frame is necessarily different from the one in the initial frame because it has been moved (accelerated). In order to make a measurement, the observer must carry the universal meter (and the universal standard clock) from the original frame to his local frame. When he does this moving, the universal standard meter (and the universal standard clock) changes its velocity when carried from the universal frame to the local frame. Therefore ENERGY is given to the atoms (and electrons) of his universal standard meter (and universal clock). This change of energy given to the atoms of his standard meter (during the change of frame) changes the Bohr radius of the atoms, which changes the real physical length of the universal standard meter (and the rate of the standard clock). Therefore, when the local observer makes a measurement, the local meter and the local clock are different from w
