OCR: LIGHT SPEED C - .87 C - .5 C- VELOCITY - - 1 100% OF 50% OF 09% OF LENGTH LENGTH LENGTH LENGTH OF OBJECT Y = 1/1-v2/ c2 * Pythagorean factor from the Lorentz-Einstein transformation equations. Einstein predicted in his famous relativity theory that as an object approaches the speed of light (186,000 miles per second) the object shrinks in the direction of its travel, mass increases and time slows down. There is, however, disagreement among scientists as to whether or not objects REALLY shrink, increase in mass etc ., or if it's only an observable phenomenon. The famous Twin Paradox states that a space traveler moving close to light speed will age less than Earth bound residents. When the space traveler returns to Earth, he'll find that every one else has aged faster than himself. Living th ...
