It is not clear what do you mean by"the world would look like a photon". Do you think "would it look like on a snapshot"? If yes I could provide links.Henrik said:Hi,
I has a question about Optical effects of special relativity. I recently watching a video about this in You Tube, my question is: Ever wonder what the world would look like as a photon?

Henrik said:Yes, that's my point..
The optical Doppler effect in special relativity is a phenomenon where the frequency of light changes due to the relative motion between the source of light and the observer. This effect is different from the classical Doppler effect, as it takes into account the time dilation and length contraction effects predicted by special relativity.
According to special relativity, time slows down for an observer who is moving at high speeds relative to another observer. This means that the observer moving at high speeds will perceive light to be moving slower than the observer at rest. This effect is known as time dilation and is a crucial factor in understanding the optical effects of special relativity.
The twin paradox is a thought experiment that explores the effects of time dilation in special relativity. It involves two twins, one of whom travels at high speeds relative to the other. When the traveling twin returns, they will have aged less than the twin who stayed at rest. This paradox highlights the importance of time dilation in understanding the optical effects of special relativity.
No, according to special relativity, the speed of light is the maximum speed possible in the universe. As an object approaches the speed of light, its mass increases and its length contracts, making it impossible to reach or exceed the speed of light.
The Lorentz transformation is a mathematical formula that describes how the measurements of time and space change for observers moving at different speeds in special relativity. This transformation helps explain the observed optical effects, such as time dilation and length contraction, and allows for accurate predictions of how light will behave for different observers in motion.
