Wikipedia should have a description of all of that. It'd take way too long to explain it all here. :\

Time Dilation is when you get near a black hole and the space around the hole is being sucked in. All matter and light is sucked in and the time around it is distorted. The time around the black hole occurrs more slowly than the time on the outside.

Never heard of Fitzgerald Contraction

Paradox is the concern about traveling back in time and doing things that would damage your existence in the current time such as speaking to yourself and influencing yourself in previous years, or such as...Going back in time and killing your parents so you'd never be born. It's all theory, just as most if not all of relativity is.

If you're truly interested in learning about it, the best place it to read a site or a book. Coming here and randomly asking about special relativity just means that you're either A: a troll, or B: a Garethsir multi.

Read up on it, come back and ask more specific questions.
