| Jun 22, 2021 at 1:07 | comment | added | The_Sympathizer | Also, it's useful to point out that the term Penrose-Terrell "rotation" is rather misleading; it's a much more complex visual distortion that only looks like a rotation when considering a spherical object. For a simulation of what relativistic motion would look like, see: youtube.com/watch?v=eAqmqFDmqQk | |
| Jun 22, 2021 at 1:03 | comment | added | The_Sympathizer | @Lost - Because it may be a badly worded textbook; "look like" strictly speaking implies optical view, but what they may be really asking is how does the situation appear in the series of present moments of a moving Lorentz frame. | |

| Jun 20, 2021 at 8:09 | comment | added | stuffu | Stick ends released simultaneously in one frame, non-simultaneuosly in other frame. Stick ends hitting the ground simultaneously in one frame, non-simultaneuosly in other frame. It's called Wigner rotation if I remember correctly. | |
| Jun 19, 2021 at 15:17 | comment | added | Lost | Please care to elaborate. How would relativity of simultaneity give the correct answer here? | |
| Jun 18, 2021 at 17:41 | comment | added | stuffu | Maybe it's not supposed to be about terrell-rotation, but relativity of simultaneity? | |
