Length contraction

What is Length Contraction?

What is length contraction? Length contraction gives the second piece (along with time dilation) of the puzzle that allows us to reconcile the fact that the speed of light is constant in all reference frames.

Length Contraction is NOT an Illusion!

Special relativity is full of weirdness like length contraction and time dilation. It's the result of something called a Lorentz transform. It's almost exclusively done algebraically, but it makes way more sense if you do it geometrically. Brilliant for 20% off: http://brilliant.org/Scienc

Special Relativity Part 3: Length Contraction

Time dilation was pretty weird, huh? Well we aren't done yet! Time is relative, and so is space! Different observers measure different lengths for objects and journeys. It's called length contraction, and it's another important part of special relativity. Weird stuff! Watch the whole Mode

Slowing The Speed of Light Down To 2 m/s—What Special Relativity Feels Like

In this video I show you what it would look like to slow the speed of light down to around walking speed. So with just walking around town you would experience relativistic effects. I talk about time dilation and length contraction and what it would look like to have it happen to you. Get
