Undergrad Terrell rotation is confusing!
Imagine in the distance you see a glowing spherical object hovering in the air. Suppose light from point B on the surface of the sphere facing away from you can arrive at the camera simultaneously with light from A: Since the object is moving at relativistic speeds, by the time light begins to...- Physicsperson123

Undergrad Why Do Some Events in My Lorentz Transformation Appear Incorrect?
Hi, A, B and C aren't colinear🙈 I'm just starting out the book, so I think I'll just stick it out and see how it goes I guess- Physicsperson123

Undergrad Why Do Some Events in My Lorentz Transformation Appear Incorrect?
Here is the space-time diagram of an observer: Here is the diagram as seen by an observer travelling from left to right: I have attempted to represent the axis system of the moving observer on the axis system of the stationary observer in the following diagram: Event D seems to lie in...- Physicsperson123
