Osborn's Law:
Variables won't; constants aren't.

You are setting A equal to a constant (C^2) and then varying it. You are=20
also using the wrong equation.

Fitzgerald, attempting to explain the Michelson-Morley results,=20
suggested that the length of any object was shortened in the direction=20
of movement by a factor of sqrt(1 - (v^2/c^2)).  This became known as=20
"The Fitzgerald contraction"

/There was a young man named Fisk,
Whose fencing was exceedingly brisk,
So fast was his action,
That the Fitzgerald contraction,
Reduced his rapier to a disk./

So L(moving) =3D L(rest) * sqrt(1 - (v^2/c^2))
Lorentz expanded on this, and developed the Lorentz transformations.
Einstein applied it to Mass and Time.
M(moving) =3D M(rest) / sqrt(1 - (v^2/c^2))  <- THIS IS THE EQUATION YOU WA=
