The Terrell-Penrose effect, predicted in 1959, suggests that objects moving at speeds close to that of light appear rotated.

Another consequence is what we call length contraction. "Suppose a rocket whizzes past us at 90% of the speed of light," Peter Schattschneider, a professor of physics at TU Wien, the Vienna ...

Einstein’s strangest optical illusion has been captured—thanks to lasers, a cube, and a bit of artistic inspiration.

Another consequence is what we call length contraction. "Suppose a rocket ... Hornoff and Victoria Helm of TU Wien performed an experiment in which they were able to manufacture a scenario where ...
