What are the mechanics of time dilation and length contraction? Going beyond the mathematical equations involving light and the "speed limit of the universe", what is observed is merely a phenomenon and not a true explanation of why time dilates or length contracts. It has been proven to work out, but do we know why? Is it something that happens at a subatomic level?
