Exactly, John. What most people miss in special relativity is that it is not
that length, duration and mass are dependent upon the inertial frame of
reference of the observer, but that such length, duration and mass are NOT
properties of the observed at all, but are instead relations between the
observer and the observed, and not invariant properties of the observed (of
course, there are nonetheless invariant properties of the observed, but not
length, etc).

I shall reread Heisenberg and Einstein and recommence this discussion
shortly.
