This
video shows special relativistic flights through various scenes.
Only the apparent geometry is visualized, the searchlight and Doppler effects
are neglected. The introductory sequence displays a traffic sign we pass
by at high velocity. The sign reads a speed limit of 1 079 252 849 km/h---the
speed of light.
The next sequences contain high-speed flights through
simplified models of the Brandenburg Gate and an NaCl lattice.
Relativistic illustrations of the Eiffel Tower, the earth, Saturn, and
a spaceship follow.
This video
was shown at the Computer Animation Festival of the
GI Jahrestagung '98.
