    The shape of the train also allows it to travel 10 percent faster with about 15 percent less electricity. ... By continually reaching for and grabbing objects, it works out which muscles to move ...

  3. Subsurface scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsurface_scattering

    Real-world subsurface scattering of light in a photograph of a human hand Computer-generated subsurface scattering in Blender. Subsurface scattering (SSS), also known as subsurface light transport (SSLT), [1] is a mechanism of light transport in which light that penetrates the surface of a translucent object is scattered by interacting with the material and exits the surface potentially at a ...

    Any such moving object or signal would violate the principle of causality. Also, any general technical means of sending signals faster than light would permit information to be sent into the originator's own past. In the diagram, an observer at O in the x-ct system sends a message moving faster than

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superluminal_motion

    In astronomy, superluminal motion is the apparently faster-than-light motion seen in some radio galaxies, BL Lac objects, quasars, blazars and recently also in some galactic sources called microquasars. Bursts of energy moving out along the relativistic jets emitted from these objects can have a proper motion that appears greater than the speed ...

    English: Spacetime diagram showing that moving faster than light implies time travel in the context of special relativity. A spaceship departs from Earth from A to C slower than light. At B, Earth emits a tachyon, particle that travels faster than light but forward in time in Earth's reference frame. It reaches the spaceship at C.

    Similarly, a shadow projected onto a distant object seems to move across the object faster than c. [6] In neither case does the light travel from the source to the object faster than c, nor does any information travel faster than light. No object is moving in these examples.

  8. Transparency and translucency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_and_translucency

    When infrared light of these frequencies strikes an object, the energy is reflected or transmitted. If the object is transparent, then the light waves are passed on to neighboring atoms through the bulk of the material and re-emitted on the opposite side of the object. Such frequencies of light waves are said to be transmitted. [10] [11]

    Time can appear to move faster or slower to us relative to others in a different part of space-time. That means astronauts on the International Space Station age slower than people on Earth.
