According to Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, as the velocity of an object increases relative to an observer in an inertial frame, its length becomes contracted according to * EQN:l_0={\gamma}l' where EQN:l_0 is the rest length of the object relative to an observer in the inertial frame, EQN:l' is the contracted length of the moving object according to the same observer and EQN:{\gamma} is the Lorentz Factor.
