Length Contraction
Length Contraction, or Lorentz Contraction, is not just what happened after Hendrik Lorentz had a good time and rolled over to go to sleep. No, this amazing phenomenon is the coolest way to get that new sofabed through that impossibly small door, just harness a galaxy's worth of energy to get that sofabed going at 99.9% the speed of light and it will slip right through that narrow doorway. Length Contraction. If things are feeling too long, just get a move on.
