I think that guy is speeding

1-2% the speed of light

For extremely low values of c.

is this a Doppler effect meme or something I'm stupid

[-] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

Yes, but rather than regular Doppler effect it's the relativistic one. The car is being blueshifted in the first panel and redshifted in the second but it's the same general idea as the change in pitch as a car passes

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

If it were relativistic, the car would be relativistically compressed in both panels, not just in the first.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

It's pretty easy to get the idea that redshift and blueshift would apparently lengthen and contract an object if you look at diagrams of it. I'm not going to fault a comic for not getting relativistic physics completely 100%
