Of course Roberts Roberts of course. But you have only been a member
of Einstein criminal cult for 15 years:

Tom Roberts (15 years ago): "Well sir, I have a silly walk and I'd
like to obtain a Government grant to help me develop it....I think
that with Government backing I could make it very silly."

so you are only allowed to "mark both ends of the moving object
simultaneously". However superior brothers are allowed to replace this
with "closing two doors simultaneously" and so they can trap a long
train inside a short tunnel

and also a 80m long pole inside a 40m long barn:

"These are the props. You own a barn, 40m long, with automatic doors
at either end, that can be opened and closed simultaneously by a
switch. You also have a pole, 80m long, which of course won't fit in
the barn....So, as the pole passes through the barn, there is an
instant when it is completely within the barn. At that instant, you
close both doors simultaneously, with your switch. Of course, you open
them again pretty quickly, but at least momentarily you had the
contracted pole shut up in your barn."

You will NEVER be allowed to do so Roberts Roberts. Superior brothers
have considered your case and found that, despite Government backing,
your walk is not silly enough.
