  • Sounds like Steven Hawkins main squeeze. Or gladDOS. Either way this video is very awesome.

  • godlike voice

  • He breaks directly from a linear equation, that will do nothing forever 1/x in a trig transform, to oh, some extra's. Nothing really happens, he just added some foolishness that can't be proven to the end of the equation. It's just invisible like a wheel spinning. So, under the suns 10^6 pull, stuff flies back and its black, when the force beams hit the 30k mile thick crust, their illuminated like they exist, but their just tachyons. Didn't bend space time, same as a crt monitor.

  • This is from the Australian National University's project on Relativistic Optics. You may view other materials, including a downloadable commentary and explanations of these videos, at their website. Search "ANU Relativistic optics Searle"

  • She sounds like fucking Bjork... probably is her to :).

  • i think im starting to grasp relativity...with ever such a weak grip haha, to the next video!

  • What is the Y?

  • I think it's the Lorentz factor (and actually a gamma, not a Y)...

  • @shinWangXiao

    OKay it's a gamma, a character of the greek alphabet.

    But what does it stand for in this vid?

  • It stands for the Lorentz factor...

  • Why does it all form strangely around the camera?

  • The light is struggling to keep up with the camera.

  • @OniLink10

    Not exactly keepig up with the camera,

    that would be if the camera were recording the back side.

  • Actually, I am correct. If the light is going in from the side then it will have trouble catching the camera in time, so it gets distorted and darker around the edges.

  • Incorrect. Light speed in a vacuum is constant across all frames of reference. If you were standing still next to a light bulb and you measured the speed of the light rays coming out of the bulb, you would get 299,792,458 m/s. If you sped away from the light bulb at 280,000,000 m/s, and measured the speed of the light rays as they passed you, you would still get 299,792,458 m/s.

  • Ahahahah, forgot that part of special relativity. :S

    But still, what else would explain the relativistic effects? I sure as hell don't know! I would think that the light rays in the center would make it whiter because they are hitting the camera more frequently due to the fast motion of the camera, and the black edges were because 1. Light rays are less frequent, and 2. Light rays are red-shifted.

  • People keep assuming that light is the ultimate reference point - if it LOOKS like its contracting, then it must really look like that. OK, take a flashlight, turn it on, and point it at the wall - by looking at the wall, you need not observe the source to KNOW that light is emanating from it. Now turn it off - the bright spot is gone, so the flashlight must be gone too, right? No it isnt. How do you know this? You observed THE MASS of the flashlight, and saw that it is still there. Just not on

  • Everything in this vid proves what I keep saying - sound is to what we HEAR as light is to what we SEE. -- the effects shown here traveling are IMO NOT physical - its just how light is dealing with having to "keep up" with the speeding object its trying to bounce off of. This same effect (while not to the extent of red/blue shift) is experienced by crotch-rocket riders, and its frequently referred to by them as "tunnel vision." The see it when they are at 160 - 200 MPH.

  • If you notice, the first second(s) of the effect look remarkably similar to tunnel vision - the reason everything goes black around you, and not in the middle, it because like on a bike, your sides are where you observe the MOST relative motion, and the center always appears to be slowly moving towards you. You're now moving so fast, that light bouncing off objects BESIDE you never reach your eyes before you've passed them. The center stays bright because that light has further to travel...

  • ...before it hits your eyes, and since light emanating from the vanishing point travels from there directly into your line of sight, that light is able to reach you. So technically, at that speed, the world isn't actually balling up into a fading sphere - its just your excessive speed affecting light's behavior, as traveling supersonic affects the behavior of sound.

  • i have no idea what dat bitch is talking about.

  • Hey where did you find this?? would love to see a high quality copy

  • Sorry, I don't remember. But it was more or less like this when I saw it.

  • ok thanks :)

  • @TW0T0M anu edu au / Physics / Savage / TEE

  • @DWarrior666 Cool, looks interactive, too. I'll check it out..

  • Comment removed

  • This is sick.

  • ms Jane FTW

  • is this reverse?

  • Pretty cool but what the hell is wrong with your voice? GladDOS, is that you?

  • Mind blowing!

    I agree with this interpretation.

    Allthough I'm not fully comprehending the aboration effect just yet, I fully comprehend the color perception at hyperphotonic velocities.

    Mind you, I certainly wouldn't want forward looking windows on a ship traveling these velocities due to the increased radiation encountered at these speeds.

  • haha well I'm almost positive that oxygen molecules would bash right through the window at this speed

    (well, the real c, not 1 m/s)
