Albert Einstein's said a train approaching the speed of light will

contraction start?

The form of the universe is an hypersphere. This is Einstein's closed
universe finite yet unbounded. If space contracts that hypersphere
would become flat. It would create a pancake universe where one
dimension is disappearing. It simply is not possible for the motion of
an object to cause an outside dimension of the entire universe to
shrink.

Only the time metric contracts. Space does not shrink and distance
remains always the same.

It doesn't. That's just him putting on weight and noticing that his belt
is getting tighter.

I see you don't have anything of value in response.

You are not even posting a counter agrument to my demonstratation of
the nonsense prediction of a fast moving train shrinking.

How could motion shrink an entire dimension of the universe?
Motion cannot change the size of the universe.

Please show me where I am wrong.
