gravity

(159.134.245.45)Do objects shrink in the direction of motion as Einstein says, if so, does it affect their motion in a straight line through space. Do they shrink from this direction and find a wave motion is the quickest way to travel because of forces within themselves affected by high speed. If a rock was traveling at half the speed of light and was shrunk by this, would it rotate to even the forces throughtout its structure, would it curve. If a rock behaves this way then setting something in motion in space does not guarantee it will travel in a straight line even if no forces are acting on it. Looking for comments
