Relativity say as an an object accelerates, time dilates and distances contract.

It is my understanding that the shortest distance possible is a Planck length, so as distance contracts, does the number of Planck lengths decrease, or does a Planck length get shorter? It would seem the former, but I don't know. I've got only a pop sci education

Is there a simple answer?

Not in GR. In GR there is no shortest possible distance. The idea that the Planck length is the shortest possible distance comes from speculations about quantum gravity.

In GR, an object that is one Planck length long in its rest frame will appear shorter than one Planck length in a frame in which it is moving.

Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'

1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...

Thread '1-Way Speed of Light'

Does the speed of light change in a gravitational field depending on whether the direction of travel is parallel to the field, or perpendicular to the field? And is it the same in both directions at each orientation? This question could be answered experimentally to some degree of accuracy. Experiment design: Place two identical clocks A and B on the circumference of a wheel at opposite ends of the diameter of length L. The wheel is positioned upright, i.e., perpendicular to the ground...

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. The Relativator was sold by (as printed) Atomic Laboratories, Inc. 3086 Claremont Ave, Berkeley 5, California , which seems to be a division of Cenco Instruments (Central Scientific Company)...
