Line 156: ==Clock delays and rod contractions: more on Lorentz transformations== Another consequence of the invariance of the spacetime interval is that clocks will appear to go slower on objects that are moving relative to the observer. This is very similar to how the 2D projection of a line rotated into the third- dimension appears to get shorter. Length is not conserved simply because we are ignoring one of the dimensions. Let us return to the example of John and Bill. John observes the length of Bill's spacetime interval as:
