Length Contraction

Length Contraction is the phenomenon where the measured length of an object, when moving at a relativistic speed, appears to shorten in its direction of motion as observed from a stationary frame, a key effect predicted by Special Relativity. This intrinsic effect is not a physical compression, but a fundamental alteration in the fabric of spacetime, intrinsically linked to Time Dilation.
