    🤯 A visual physics lesson at 80 km/h.

    Enthusiasts launched a man from a moving truck in the opposite direction - at the same speed the car was traveling.

    The experiment spectacularly showed how relative speed works.

    PS: Don't do this near light speed without changing the formula. A few other practical problems might show up too 😉

            @nexta 80-80=0. 80-160? That's something different.

                @nexta I guess that solves that math problem. Now do it with trains.

                        @bodhipaksa @nexta IIRC they did it with something like a basketball, not a human. Otherwise pretty much the same though.

                                @moira @laris @nexta and the video addresses the folks who are chirping in response that it's an unsafe experiment in humans. Lots of test runs building up to it!

                                    I feel like I'd want to have full motorcycle safety gear just in case the velocity didn't match and you wound up unceremoniously yeeted into a slide

                                        🤯 A visual physics lesson at 80 km/h.

                                        Enthusiasts launched a man from a moving truck in the opposite direction - at the same speed the car was traveling.

                                        The experiment spectacularly showed how relative speed works.

                                          @nexta That's why if you run to the back of the plane really really fast you drop out of the sky. 😆 As a kid, the cartoon pink panther had this thing where he would step out of the house just before it hit the ground and I spent like half a day figuring out if that would work or not, only to realize it WOULD work if he jumped up at exactly the speed the house was falling when it hit the ground. Alas such a jump was not feasible.
