Unreferenced claims in GIF caption.

The cool GIF Tachyon04s.gif is captioned as

  • Because the sphere travels faster than light, the observer sees nothing until it has already passed. Then, two images appear: one of the sphere arriving (on the right) and one of it departing (on the left).

Static fields
