Consequences of Einstein's special theory of relativity.
¥Space-time warping: "distance" in a given reference frame is a mixture of distance and time from other reference frames.
¥Length contraction: objects seen in moving reference frames appear to be shorter along their direction of motion than the same object seen at rest  (Lorentz-Fitzgerald contraction).
¥Time dilation: time intervals seen in moving reference frames appear longer than the same interval seen at rest.
¥Velocities are relative: "velocity" is a function of the velocity of the observer.  Velocities add up in such a way that no velocity exceeds the speed of light.
¥There is no frame of reference in which light can appear to be at rest.
