Above: In S the distance between the spaceships stays the same, while the string contracts. Below: In S′ the distance between the spaceships increases, while the string length stays the same. Bell's spaceship paradox is a thought experiment in special relativity.
View of the ocean with two ships: one in the foreground and one to the left of it on the horizon. Historically, the distance to the visible horizon has long been vital to survival and successful navigation, especially at sea, because it determined an observer's maximum range of vision and thus of communication, with all the obvious consequences for safety and the transmission of information ...

[4]In New Jersey, a bicycle must be equipped with a bell or other audible device that can be heard at least 100 feet away, but not a siren or whistle.
In the case of a horizon perceived by a uniformly accelerating observer in empty space, the horizon seems to remain a fixed distance from the observer no matter how its surroundings move. Varying the observer's acceleration may cause the horizon to appear to move over time or may prevent an event horizon from existing, depending on the ...

Operational meaning of the radar distance between two Rindler observers (navy blue vertical lines). The Rindler horizon is shown at left (red vertical line). The world line of the radar pulse is also depicted, together with the (properly scaled) light cones at events A, B, C.

In this case, the position would be ahead and above the horizon, an advantageous position for the attacker. The phrase "on your six" refers to the six o'clock or the adjacent positions; that is, the expression cautions that someone is behind you or on your tail. Likewise, "check your six" or "check six" means "watch your back" or "watch out for ...
