Frame of reference Memes

Einstein would be so proud! This duck is living its best physics life by demonstrating relative motion in the most epic way possible. From the duck's perspective, it's just chilling on a stationary surface while the world zooms by at 550 mph. Meanwhile, from our perspective, this duck is the ultimate daredevil with iron webbed feet! The title references Einstein's theory of relativity - motion is relative to your frame of reference. That duck isn't flying through the air; the air is flying past the duck! Next-level science flex from our feathered physicist friend.

Einstein would be PROUD of this speeding ticket defense! When the driver says "speed is relative," they're invoking Einstein's theory of relativity where measurements like speed depend on the observer's frame of reference. From the driver's perspective, they were perfectly stationary while the world zoomed past them! The cop's radar gun is merely measuring relative motion between two reference frames! *adjusts wild scientist hair* Of course, this brilliant physics defense probably won't hold up in traffic court... unless the judge happens to be a quantum physicist moonlighting in the judicial system. The universal speed limit is still 299,792,458 m/s (speed of light), so technically they weren't even CLOSE to breaking the cosmic law!
