The Theory of Relativity proposes the
idea of length contraction on objects in motion. The basic idea behind length contraction is, that when anything moves with some velocity it's length is shrunk in the direction of it's motion. As the velocity increases the length contracts more and more. So an objects length measured in a still frame is greater than the same length measured by an observer being passed by the object with some velocity. |

These are two identical programs to calculate Length Contraction in Special Relativity. One is a boring dos version the other is cooler but can only be viewed at a Syracuse computer cluster. |
