According to the solution *** for MIT's OpenCourseWare Physics 8.003,
October 2006 Quiz 1 Question 1.e.E , the following statement is true:
A ping-pong ball moving near the speed of light still looks
spherical.TRUE
/
FALSE (circle
one).http://ocw.mit.edu/NR/rdonlyres/17B4BD2F-8932-49D2-9C7B-D1D2315965C9/...

False .. from the iFoR where it is travelling near the speed of light,
and
assuming you mean it is not accelerating etc.


Wrong, the correct answer is : TRUE.

Yes .. I agreed, once the word 'look' was pointed out (as in the illusion
you get when you physically see it, because when an object is moving there
is an illusion that it appears to twist so as to reveal more of the
'backside' of the object). Of course, if the sphere has some markings on
it, you would see it appear spherical, but also rotated somewhat

Look Jack, academic testing is not designed to separate
the bright, dedicated and motivated from the lazy, arrogant
and overprivileged.... academic tests are designed to
discriminate between the RICH AND THE POOR!
An upper class physics dilletante from a professional
family spends every morning at breakfast discussing "FFF's"
(that's "Famous Physics Factoids") and would already know
about Penrose's celebrated 1959 "Ping Pong Ball Effect" in
SR by the time he graduated from high school! On the other
hand a brilliant, dedicated and highly motivated but
desperatly poor and underprivileged student who is actually
destined to alter the course of world Scientific history,
and therefore is highly dangerous to the elite liesure class
would of course have NO WAY of knowing about this obscure
and virtually irrelevant effect at an early school age.
That's why the question is put in there by the academic
elitists who run the universities-- to make sure that "only
the privileged elite" will suceed academically.
The difference between you and me is that you're still
trying to co-opt the bastards, while I've long since decided
to kick their ass..... that's why I'VE discovered the
world's first scientific proof of God and you haven't. And
why they're so terrified of me politically they don't even
dare to talk to me and actively preventy me from publishing
the discovery in a leading journal!
