I love science-even the Bill Nye type.Doppler Effect.
Oops, just noticed it is in the science and technology thread.You didn't get it.

Coming towards you, the car is catching up on its own lightwaves, Vc - S, velocity of light (c) minus speed of car, bunching them together into shorter bluer waves. Receding, is is Vc + S, dragging the lightwaves out as the car adds its speed to the wavelength. Mind you, the speed of the light propagation (c) isn't changed, that is a constant, just the wavelength/frequency is affected.
So if the car came at you fast enough, approaching C, it would appear as a motionless thin line and never reach you. It would take almost forever for the car to arrive, but to the passenger, only a few moments would pass then when he got out of the car, you would be an old man.

Blue shift/red shift. Doppler effect as someone else said.
Just be careful not to go over. You might run into yourself from behind.With my custom built transmission it could do C.Blue shift/red shift. Doppler effect as someone else said.
That car must be moving really fast.
Like that day I kicked in the after burners in my F18 and hit my own bullets?Just be careful not to go over. You might run into yourself from behind.With my custom built transmission it could do C.Blue shift/red shift. Doppler effect as someone else said.

Before you get the prize though, you have one more question to answer.Okay, I got this thread. Just a few moments ago after I logged on.
