RP, not only have you missed the entire reality of time being no more than "Fundamental Matter In Motion", your basic physics is backwards, i.e., increased velocity increases mass, not the size of hairs, or any other objects. As any mass approaches c, it's size shrinks to zero mass, through mass entropy dissipation___Lorentz/Einstein. One must remember, Einstein asked the question, "If I looked in a mirror, at the speed of light, would I see my image?" He answered, "No." The time dilations are others' foolish mis-interpretations of Einstein's original work, other than when he was theorizing abstractly. He never physically advocated any real time/matter/motion dilations. The quote in my signature is Einstein's own words.
