Movie 4 (:09)
Script : A flash
does not instantly illuminate the interior, but slowly travels
through the tram. As the light must travel out and back, the illuminated
region moves outward at half the speed of light.
Comments : In this
scene, imagine you're holding a camera which sets off a flash
inside the tram. The interior NOT lit all at once.
The flash appears
from your point of view to move outward at half the speed of light,
because the light is travelling out, reflecting off an object,
then travelling back to you : twice the distance to the object
you're actually seeing at any particular moment.
