Drive by houses near the speed of light... |

Kinda neat. especially the views of driving through the house at 90% or 99.9 % the speed of light. Oh, relativity, how I love thee. http://www.fearofphysics.com/Relativity/house.html

2. Cool, I have bookmarked for the next time I teach relativity |
|
I have seen similar simulations, but this is one of the best I have seen.

3. You know, if you drive at a red stoplight fast enough... |
|
It will turn green without you having to wait.

5. Yeah, but you get terrible gas mileage at that speed |
|
Your mass starts to increase, and I'm sure your tires would start to get all gooey.

7. Of course, relativity is only a "theory" |
|
shouldn't we be presenting alternate views, such as "Intelligent Velocity" or something?
