The Terrell-Penrose effect, predicted in 1959, suggests that objects moving at speeds close to that of light appear rotated.

Einstein’s strangest optical illusion has been captured—thanks to lasers, a cube, and a bit of artistic inspiration.

However, one interesting consequence of relativity has not yet been observed ... USTEM at TU Wien found another solution inspired by art: they used extremely short laser pulses and a high ...

The idea was first hypothesized about 70 years ago. In a bizarre repercussion of Albert Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, objects traveling close to the speed of light appear flipped over.
