Not really AFAIK, since it's an asymptote regarding your speed vs speed of light, so it's a pretty continuous curve. The point where things become weird is at close to the speed of light so in your example at like 1.9~1.999 m/s, and physics "break" at 2m/s, but there's not a sigle point between 0~1.999 where anything "surprising" happens.
- willis936 2y agoI feel like your field of vision expanding and everything around you freezing might be considered surprising. These don't become noticeable until near the top end.
- franciscop 2y agoYes but I purposefully used "a single point" in my phrase; since this phenomena doesn't happen in discrete steps, but in a continuum.
- lupire 2y agoThings get "weird" non uniformly at all the various fuzzy intervals where the effects of relativity are significant in scale compared to the measurement error, in time and space dimension, of whatever phenomena you are studying or experiencing. There are many of these phenomena at different scales, and which ones you care about is subjective.
