In special relativity,
When an object travels at speeds near the speed of light, time slows down for the person on traveling at that speed, thus you gain more time. Also, you have length contraction.
So my question is this, with the idea of 4-dimesional space-time, is what you gain in time lost in length?
I know this is a strange question, but I'm trying to understand how the two are related.
