Movie 24
(:49)
Script : With full
relativistic effects the image turns monotone, with objects near
the edge of the screen darkened, and the center brightly illuminated.
These three relativity
effects combine here to produce a very dangerous beam of high
frequency radiation aimed directly at the traveller. Incoming
radiation from all directions is rotated more and more to the
front, and is doppler shifted to higher and higher frequencies.
And as we speed
close to light speed, time frames stretch. A camera shutter set
to open for one second on a very fast passing spaceship would
take in much more radiation than if it were on the ground next
to you, even with other relativity effects ignored.
