Abstract

It is shown that the distance between an astronaut and a distant planet that lies along the astronaut's straight-line path is Lorentz contracted from the perspective of both the astronaut and an observer at rest on that distant planet. It is also shown that what these two observers perceive as simply a contraction of the space separating them is, in reality, a shortcut through hyperspace that enables the astronaut to circumvent the light barrier in the both frames of reference.
