Which property change arises as a spaceship approaches lightspeed?

💡 Explanation

Length contraction arises due to the spacetime deformation; observed relative to a stationary observer external to the ship because, as the velocity approaches 'c', spacetime compresses in the direction of motion, therefore we get length contraction and not changing mass, rather than gravitation alteration.
