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.


That's probably because there was nothing of real value in the OP.
Except maybe your priceless mental illnesses.

Now, listen, if you still can, Igor. Over O'Hara (joke!) hung a
strange and out-of-place craft of some sort.

I am not going to embarrass you with my IQ, but I can assure you it is
enough for what I have to say to you.

Try to react to these reports intelligently. When I was 20 or so, I'd
have found it difficult to be sure, but I think you might just be up
to it!
