Why it takes small time to reach somewhere with high velocity. [Distance Contraction]

Ever wondered, that why when you move fast you reach your destination early?

The reason is obvious as v=s/t and as v(velocity) increases time shortens for a  fixed distance.
But when you move in space free from any planetary interaction than something strange is observed.

""YOU REACH YOUR DESTINATION EARLIER THAN EXPECTED""

That's the time when special relativity comes into effect.
As an object moves with great speed in space it pushes the space back, folding it, just as if you were moving on a carpet folding it back as you move. This brings your destination closer to you thus reducing the s in the equation v=s/t and with greater "v", "s" decreases so as the distance is no more fixed this equation is no more applicable."t" calculated is greater in magnitude than actual time taken.




That was Distance contraction for you in short.
