| Feb 5 at 13:26 | comment | added | you3 | @m4r35n357: It's true that in our "objective" reference frame the cube doesn't rotate, but we observed a rotated cube in fact. So I think "rotation" is a fine description of the observed phenomenon as we can even calculate the angle(arcsin v/c). I just take this terminology because my textbook said so and I am not sure if it's widely used in English. Anyway, I will edit it to be "effect". | |

| Feb 5 at 12:54 | comment | added | m4r35n357 | Terrell "rotation" is a misnomer, it was coined because the original analysis was done WRT a sphere, which preserves it shape under aberration. When you look at cubes, and bear in mind the effects of aberration, it becomes obvious that you are apparently seeing the "back" of the cube (which looks like it is in front of you) because you have already gone past it! In any case, describing the resultant visual distortion of the cube as a "rotation" is pretty sloppy terminology. | |
