description Overview

Length contraction

Length contraction is a consequence of Einstein’s theory of special relativity. It describes how measurements of an object's length in the direction of its motion appear shorter to an observer who sees that object moving at high speed relative to them. This effect becomes significant only when speeds approach a substantial fraction of the speed of light. Physicists and those studying relativistic...

General relativity

Gravity takes a geometric form in Einstein's general relativity: matter and energy affect the curvature of spacetime, and that geometry shapes motion. Freely falling objects follow the straightest available paths through curved spacetime. Light also follows paths determined by this geometry, which explains why gravity can bend its apparent direction even though light has no rest mass. The theory...
