Slowing The Speed of Light Down To 2 m/s—What Special Relativity Feels Like

A video on YouTube. In Science & Engineering, a Krater category.

Summary by Krater

An explainer simulating the speed of light slowed to walking speed using an MIT relativity physics simulator, demonstrating relativistic effects like Doppler shifting, time dilation, and the Terrell effect.

What it concludes

Moving towards a light source causes a blue shift in frequency, while moving away causes a red shift.
As you move closer to the speed of light, your time relative to a stationary observer decreases.
Length contraction does not appear as objects being squished in the direction of motion, but rather as being stretched, lengthened, and rotated.
