That’s why we enjoyed [Michel van Biezen’s] two part post on how Michelson computed the speed of light in 1927. You can see the videos below. Michelson wasn’t the first, of course.

In 1959, physicists James Terrell and Roger Penrose (Nobel laureate in 2020) independently concluded that fast-moving objects should appear rotated. However, this effect has never been demonstrated.

As you approach the speed of light, space and time begin to warp in ways that defy everyday logic. According to Einstein’s theory of relativity, time slows down dramatically for fast-moving ...

When an object moves extremely fast—close to the speed of light—certain basic assumptions that we take for granted no longer apply. This is the central consequence of Albert Einstein's special ...
