Optical Effects of Special Relativity

[Scutter01]

Thought this was an interesting video. It shows the effect of Einstein's theory of special relativity by demonstrating what you might expect to see if you were traveling at sub-light speeds. Includes several layered effects, the first being with no relativistic effect, then with relativistic aberration, followed by Doppler shifting and then full relativistic effects. The end of the video shows some interesting Terrell Effect examples. I'm not sure why they used a voice synthesizer to narrate. It's annoying and hard to understand what it's saying at times.

Woooaaahhh

That reminds my of college physics 3...and confirms that my choice of Mechanical Engineering over Physics/Applied Optics was a good one.

I'm reminded of Newton's Second Law:

The relationship between an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma. Acceleration and force are vectors; in this law the direction of the force vector is the same as the direction of the acceleration vector.

Or, graphically explained...

You're welcome.

Boobies make physics better.

Why would you try?

Because the last time I posted a picture of an unclothed female backside, I had to replace it with one that was clothed. I didn't and don't have a problem with that, but I didn't want the post to not make any sense while I looked for a replacement picture.

This way, everyone wins, and yes, boobies make physics better.

They do, however, make concentration worse.

Heh...took me a few seconds to realize the test hadn't started; that there was a start button you had to click on.
