(2-12) Since √(1 – u2/c2) must be less than 1, D1 must be smaller than D0. This means that the length of an object – for example your width – will be less as measured by a moving observer than it is in its rest frame:

Therefore Cormorant’s observation may well have been simply a result of his flying speed; there is no evidence that you have really changed in width. Even so, best to exercise moderation with the doughnuts.
