Einstein’s Relativity Predicted a Twisted Illusion – Now Scientists Have Finally Seen It

Physicists in Vienna have recreated a bizarre visual illusion from Einstein’s relativity—the Terrell-Penrose effect—by simulating slow light speeds with lasers and cameras. A fast-moving cube appears twisted, as predicted over 60 years ago. Relativity Gets Weird at Light-Speed When things move really, really fast, close to the speed of light, our everyday ideas about space [...]
