Delve into the enthralling world of relativity, as Einstein so brilliantly unraveled. Envision yourself at the center of the left circle/wave, with a school friend driving in a car from left to right. Picture a beloved family member stationed at the center of the circles/waves on the right, both of you attentively observing and listening to the car's journey.

You know how the sound of a passing car changes as it moves by - the vvvvrrrrooommmmmm that alters in pitch. This fascinating phenomenon is known as the Doppler Effect, where waves stretch and compress due to motion. Our brains interpret sound waves, associating longer wavelengths with lower pitch and shorter wavelengths with higher pitch.

As the car advances toward you, sound waves emanate from it, progressing in your direction. However, since the car is approaching you, the waves become compressed, resulting in shorter wavelengths and a higher pitch (as our brains perceive shorter wavelengths as higher pitch). But...

Jason D. Padgett is an artist and thinker whose journey challenges conventional perception. As the author of Struck by Genius, a book that has been optioned for a major motion picture, his unique artistic perspective has captivated audiences worldwide. What makes Jason’s work even more extraordinary is his experience with motion blindness (akinetopsia), a condition that causes him to perceive the world in discrete frames, like stop-motion animation or a flipbook. Rather than seeing continuous motion, he perceives reality as a series of still images. While many might see this as a limitation, Jason has embraced it as a gift, using it to explore intricate patterns and structures that often go unnoticed. His hand-drawn works reflect a...
