In 1959 , physicists James Terrell and Roger Penrose concluded that fast-moving objects should appear rotated.

Now, scientists have succeeded for the first time in reproducing the effect using laser pulses and precision cameras -- at an effective speed of light of 2 meters per second .

This makes the Terrell -Penrose effect visible.

The Terrell-Penrose effect is the result of an extraordinary symbiosis between art and science.

The results have now been published in the journal Communications Physics .

The result may help us understand the intuitively elusive world of relativity a little better.

Art-science project by artist Enar de Dios Rodriguez explored the possibilities of ultra-fast photography.
