THE MECHANISM OF LENGTH CONTRACTION
Have you considered the motion of an ocean surfer?
Einstein’s concept of changes in curvature of space can be extended to moving objects. We know that moving objects interact with
space from two sources. General relativity predicts that rotating masses will drag space. The effect is called frame dragging. Working
from Einstein's relativity theory, Austrian physicists Joseph Lense and Hans Thirring predicted frame dragging in 1918. (It is also known
as the Lense-Thirring effect.) This effect was confirmed by two orbiting satellites in 2004.
Photon acceleration by moving plasma also is a similar effect in which moving plasma drag space and photons get accelerated in the
process.
When considering motion we need to keep in mind that objects are moving in expanding space. Moving objects interact with space
producing slowing of expansion in front and increased expansion behind the object producing a bi-phasic wave in space.
Changes in the curvature of space happen only in the direction of motion. There is negative curvature in front of the moving object
with slower time and positive curvature behind with faster time. This results in the object tilting in the curved space.
Time differential is setup in this curved space. The moving object rides this curvature following the time differential moving from
faster to slower time. The process is self perpetuating. This effect most likely occurs at the atomic level so as to explain rotational
motion as well.
This can happen only in an expanding universe where time differential can be produced and length contraction can occur. Both are
necessary to produce motion. It is like the motion of ocean surfer gliding on the wave.
The concept discussed above can be shown to be precisely correct mathematically. Please contact the author for further
