Length Contraction (Special Theory of Relativity)

What is Length Contraction? How to obtain its formula from Lorentz transformations?
In this video I talk about one of the most surprising consequences of the two postulates of Special Theory of Relativity, i.e. Length Contraction, also known as Lorentz Contraction. When two observers are in relative motion, they measure the distance between two points to be different. As a result, moving objects appear to contract along the direction of motion, with respect to an observer at rest. This can be easily demonstrated via the lorentz transformation equations.

We will also compare the extent of Length contraction at various speeds, and I will also mention one experimental observation that is directly related to the concept of length contraction.
