In this episode, we dive into length contraction—the strange phenomenon where objects appear to shrink in length as they approach the speed of light. According to Einstein’s theory of relativity, space itself is altered by motion, and objects become shorter along the direction they’re traveling. We’ll explore how length contraction works, why it only becomes noticeable at extreme speeds, and what it reveals about the flexible nature of space and time. Join us as we make sense of this mind-bending concept and its implications for understanding our universe.
