Hey all,
I have to write a small discussion on "the implications of mass increase, time dilation, and length contraction for space travel"
So far, I've got that time dilation will make the trip shorter for those on board, which is obviously very handy, when you consider the massive distance involved with space travel. But I'm a little stuck on the other two. I'm about to read through my textbooks, but if anyone has anything to add, please do
Thanks in advance for all your brilliant insights
PS. References would be great, but not crucial
