e

anonymous · Answer

a) Is actually wrong! Time dilation requires that time on a spaceship moving at or near the speed of light be slower than that of a clock on earth or at rest. 

b) Is called Length Contraction an is actually do to the Lorentz transformation between inertial frames. (This is your answer)

c)Is is called Wave Particle duality,  and is due to the Heisenberg Uncretiantiy principal and quantum dynamics 

d) This is actually Einstein First postulate for Special Relativity. Note this is what SR is based on, not one of it consequences.

And more specifically, moving objects are shorter in the direction of travel only.

Moving rods are most certainly not any shorter. they just Appear shorter.
