- zamalek 6y agoSpecial Relativity (the first and ironically simpler of the two, given the name) is really mind-blowing... up until the moment it isn't. In my mind the "cascade of simplicity" occurred when I subconsciously realized that bullet-time mechanics could really occur is a multiplayer game. The player in bullet-time would experience higher tickrate that anyone else, meaning that anyone else would see them speeding away. There's more to make it possible in a simulation, but that's unimportant: you can reason about these scenarios. My reasoning maybe incorrect, but it does afford me the ability to approach these mind-blowing subjects. Either way, it may be impossible for a subluminal observer to identify a superluminal apart from a warp traveller (aside from the former being outright impossible). The observation is identical, the cause is completely different.
