Movie 25 (:48)

Script : The Terrell effect can be shown with this cube. Doppler and intensity effects are off. Note the orientation of the cube change. Compare its apparent position with the actual position indicated at the lower right. We see the cube as it was, catching up with photons.

However, these distinctions are meaningless. Even in this universe, nothing exceeds the speed of light, even when bending, so for light to travel in a straight line, it would have to exceed its own speed : impossible.

Reality is the distorted cube, and the bird's eye view is from outside this universe.

On the highway, objects rotated more due to our acceleration. Since we move past the cube at a constant speed, rotation is constant. In space flight, effects would also be constant, because spaceships coast more than accelerating by firing rockets.
