Lorenz Position

Lorentz contraction and expansion of time Konstantin Bardintsev

Introduction The phenomenon discovered in 1916 by Albert Einstein and called the “Lorentz contraction” raised many questions in both philosophy and physics. It was unclear whether the reduction in body length was a consequence of a reduction in time, or whether the phenomenon had other causes. He also developed the theory of electrodynamics - what we now call the special theory of relativity, in which time and space were considered in the context of Lorentz transformations. In particular, Lorentz considered the curvature of time in the general theory of relativity. Today we actually have a theory that describes the curvature of space-time around bodies, but the theory of relativity did not explain how exactly this distortion occurs - this fact was hidden by the concept of the “metric tensor”. The theory developed by Einstein was the most general form of the existence of special symmetry. It turns out that the interaction of all particles requires a metatheory, namely string theory. Also, Einstein showed that the general theory of relativity connects space and time in a new sense - the faster an object, the faster time flows for it, and vice versa. And the effect of “expansion of space”, and a change in the passage of time. Later, as physics developed, it was realized that
