Speed of light...instantatious Travel??
"Length contraction" sounds like a pretty cool theory and everything, but doesn't the fact that it takes light approx. 8.5 minutes to reach earth from the sun completely disprove it? Light, although pure energy, has to travel that distance - as Tormod pointed out. This would imply that any background radiation left over from the big bang which we have observed is actually radiation which is being radiated right now by existing stars, pulsars blah blah blah...
It is beyond my understanding why this length contraction theory is still being used, if what we are observing today disproves it.
