Physicists prove 65-year-old effect of relativity by making an object appear to move at the speed of light

Using ultra-fast laser pulses and special cameras, scientists have simulated an optical illusion that seems to defy Einstein's theory. special theory of relativity.

One consequence of special relativity is that fast-moving objects should appear to be shortened in the direction of their motion, a phenomenon known as Lorentz contraction. This effect was indirectly confirmed in experiments at particle accelerators.
