It is due to Einstein's theory of special relativity. If an observer views an object that is moving relative to him then it undergoes a length contraction. This is known as the Lorentz contraction.

The contraction is by a factor of sqrt(1 - v2/c2) where v is the relative velocity between the observer and the object and c is the velocity of light.

How you make the bottle sink and why?

To make a bottle sink, you can simply fill it with a material denser than water, such as sand or rocks. When the bottle is submerged in water, the denser material inside causes it to sink. This is due to the principle of buoyancy, where an object will sink if it is denser than the fluid it is placed in.

Why does water comes squirting out of a full water bottle when you squeeze it?

This is one of the easiest things that you should have learned in school, of course assuming you've been through the 4th grade. When you squeeze a water bottle that is less space for the water to be contained in, therefore pushing it up. In the case of a full water bottle you are pushing on the water therefore pushing it up also. It's all a matter of space.
