This is the relativistic length contraction, also known as the Lorentz ... even when photographing an extremely fast car. Even the fastest Formula One car will only move a tiny fraction of the ...

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 whizzes past us at 90% of the speed of light," Peter Schattschneider, a professor of physics at TU Wien, the Vienna ...
