That equation IIRC is known as the Lorentz time dilation equation. 8 believe there are other variants for mass increase and length elongation.

Lorentz, Einstein's mentor, so to speak, came up with them before Einstein did. But he did so for the wrong reasons. He was attempting to describe how the then newly discovered electron would (physically) shrink at high speeds. Well, something like that anyway.
