I was reading that a stationary observer measuring an object in (very fast) motion would determine the object to be shorter in the direction of travel, compared to the size of that object measured at rest. What actually causes this difference from the perspective of the observer?
Does the fast moving object appear shorter to the observer because the object is actually traveling a shorter distance because of the warped space the object is traveling through?
