Quote by Albert Einstein

A moving object appears to shrink in the direction of motion as seend by a stationary observer.

A moving object appears to shrink in the direction of motion

Summary

The quote describes the phenomenon known as the "Lorentz-FitzGerald contraction" or "length contraction." It states that when an object is in motion relative to a stationary observer, it will appear smaller in the direction of motion. This is due to the effects of special relativity, where the dimensions of an object shorten as its speed approaches the speed of light. This contraction is not physically a change in size, but rather a visual perception resulting from the relative motion between the observer and the moving object.

Liberty is a harsh mistress. You cannot pick and choose what you like and dislike about her. Liberty will not change her principles for you, no matter how much you claim to love her. She will stand fast in her demands for total acceptance. If you can't receive her, she will recognize you as a false lover and leave you. And when you hear that door slam, it will take every tear in your eye, every ounce of blood in your veins, and all the nerve in your heart to win her back.
