Why do object appears smaller than their actual size - Length contractions

Prof Albert Einstein under his special theory of relativity explained length contractions. His theory only implies for a body in motion. He stated that for as more and more speed a body posses, the length of a body will reduce until it get to zero at speed limit(light speed); "although, I still imagine how the length of a body will reduce to zero......hmm, still doesn't make sense to me". His theory only account for a body moving at high speed. What about the following observation;

• Convergence of railway track
• Looking up a sky scrapers
• Looking up a mask, just to mention a few

All the above observation are not moving but still their length or gap get contracted as observed by a distance observer, but when close, regain its original size or length. No law of physics could account for these. Is it a property of human eyes? or a property of distance?....you need to find out!

Hi steemians once again, my name is Hydro and I have been out of steemit for a while due to the recently accomplished college entrance examinations conducted in my country of which I play an important role in the lectures of a lot of partakers in different tutorials. I am back again on steemit to accomplish every of my intendeds, most importantly the establishment of steemit educational College, @s-e-c. I still have a plan on the establishment of an educational system on steemit, and hope it will be successful. As said before, this system or project wouldn't be able to be stabilized without more hand. So, please if you have the required knowledge and would like to impact on steemit, I would like you to join me and let us create an education on steemit, I can't do this alone. Thank you.

For advice on how to run the school better, please contact me........i need your advice.

Thank you once again for those that already shows their support to the school, and those that are going to give their support in advance
