Abstract

In this article, the change of dimensions of uniformly moving rigid bodies is considered as a physical effect. The macroscopic change of the body dimensions is caused by the displacement of equilibrium points of ions of the crystal lattice due to the change of the interatomic potential. Some applications of the obtained results to the interpretation of the Michelson-Morley and Kennedy-Thorndike experiments are considered. This effect can create great difficulties in the way to accelerate macroscopic bodies (space-ships, for example) to subluminal velocities.
