Physicists Recreate Einstein’s Near-Light-Speed Illusion Predicted 70 Years Ago

94

Physicists have recreated the long-predicted Terrell-Penrose effect using ultra-fast lasers, showing how objects at near-light speed appear rotated rather than flattened. The experiment offers a visual insight into Einstein’s special relativity.Physicists have recreated the long-predicted Terrell-Penrose effect using ultra-fast lasers, showing how objects at near-light speed appear rotated rather than flattened.
