[QUOTE="DoneNOut, post: 2359209, member: 113404"] Oh Ok, I was looking at this, [B]Length contraction[/B] is the phenomenon that a moving object's length is measured to be shorter than its [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proper_length']proper length[/URL], which is the length as measured in the object's own [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rest_frame']rest frame[/URL].[SUP][URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_contraction#cite_note-Dalarsson-1'][1][/URL][/SUP] It is also known as [B]Lorentz contraction[/B] or [B]Lorentz–FitzGerald contraction[/B] (after [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hendrik_Lorentz']Hendrik Lorentz[/URL] and [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Francis_FitzGerald']George Francis FitzGerald[/URL]) and is usually only noticeable at a substantial fraction of the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_light']speed of light[/URL]. Length contraction is only in the direction in which the body is travelling. For standard objects, this effect is negligible at everyday speeds, and can be ignored for all regular purposes, only becoming significant as the object approaches the speed of light relative to the observer.
