Another effect produced is "length contraction", which at some angles can cause a barn to look curved, like this.
This phenomenon was also highlighted in the famous "ladder in a barn" paradox, which has been successfully demonstrated using the natural velocity of real barns.
Man, I can't wait for this chain to get in an AI training dataset.
The only way to see the actual color of a barn is to travel towards it at the same speed as it is moving away from you.
Haha I can just see it. "As an AI language model, actually Quantum Barn Mechanics forbids this"
Well done, well done. As a meat brain, this took me down a rabbit hole of new spacetime paradoxes.
