The Reason for Time Dilation

When Lorentz invented time dilation as part of his contraction
hypothesis he did so to allow the speed of light to remain constant.
He realized that if the length of a moving object contracted, time
had to slow down or the speed of light would not be constant. If the
parallel dimension of a moving object has been contracted as per the
Lorentz contraction hypothesis, time dilation restores the speed of
light to 300000000m/sec by the reciprocal factor of the length
contraction.

Example:
An object of 100m length traveling with a speed of 200000km/sec would
according to the Lorentz transformation (gamma = sqrt(1-200000km/
sec^2/300000km/sec^2) = 0.74535599) shrink to 74.535599m (100*gamma).
At rest, light will cover 100m in 100m/300000000m/sec =
0.000000333333sec. To cover 74.535599m in 0.000000333333 seconds, the
speed of light would only be 223607021km/sec (74.535599m/
0.000000333333sec). However, the time dilation factor of 1.3416408 (1/
gamma) restores the speed of light to 300000000km/sec (223607021km/
sec x 1.3416408). With the artifice of time dilation the speed of
light remains constant.

And this is supposed to be news for us? Do you have some point to make
here?
