Thanks for the quick reply! To clarify- lengths parallel to the moving body would decrease (Lorentz contraction) but space would also decrease in the direction of the moving object relative to an object it is moving toward, can you confirm this? Many thanks!

Consider a particle traveling near the speed of light towards a planet- relativity states that the space according to the particle shrinks between the particle and the planet as the particle accelerates toward the planet. My question is - would the space behind the particle expand relative to an...

Are objects beyond the observable universe in some sense moving faster the the speed of light. Given that objects at the edge of the observable universe are "maximally" red shifted, objects beyond that theoretically must be more red shifted, which is impossible. Is it therefore a nonsense to...

Many thanks justice hunter for the elaboration. Many thanks to mfb for your contribution.

A seismic wave constitutes a shear wave and pressure wave. Does light have a pressure wave through the electrical field and could this be the way light "smells" it's way to where we can detect it? Many thanks
