Abstract
A long awaited common sense explanation of relativistic time dilation and associated distance contraction is presented. The straightforward approach leads immediately to the light speed effect that correlates the principle of light aberration with the principle that light speed is unaffected by the speed of the source. The subsequent unification of other related relativistic principles including the transverse Doppler Effect is clearly demonstrated for the first time.
