I tried driving in at great speed to see if it would fit. It didn't end well! The problems there are that the Lorentz–FitzGerald contraction stops working when you put the brakes on. And it only has an significant effect when the object in motion is travelling close to the speed of light. So, it's only observable by constant-acceleration interstellar starships. And BMWs in 30 mph zones. Edited November 29, 2023 by CameronL Typo 2 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took your yawn to indicate that you were unamused by special relativity jokes - which is surprising as they can include some of the best physics jokes around - but Kevin assumed you were expressing weariness at BMW diver jokes and assumed that to be because you yourself are a BMW driver. Does that adequately explain the joke? 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted November 30, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 30, 2023 Thinking about it, this all explains the myth that BMW drivers don't use the indicators. They do, it's just that they're driving away from you so quickly that the light from the indicators is red-shifted out of the visible spectrum. 1 1 1 1 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
