    Driving at nearly the speed of light? Impossible in real life, but
    feasible in a computer simulation: A tour through the city centre of
    Tübingen illustrates what we should see when moving at such a high speed.


    er...apart from the distortion, the buildings seem to be moving past at
    about 50mph?

    So the speed of light, in this simulation, is a shade under 54mph
    (travelling at 0.93c).

    It's more interesting than simulating the real c, as the only place you
    can feasibly travel that fast is space. Black emptiness doesn't give
    interesting visual effects when it bends.
