This is why I wish the onboard cameras on F1 cars had a wider field of view. Those cars top out at over 200 mph yet the onboard footage doesn't do the perception of that speed any favors.

This makes sense. When watching sports on television, like baseball, cricket, and tennis, the balls seem to be moving slower even though they are moving at 90mph.
Let me give a physical explanation of this. Maybe it will be curious. I love to explain things like this. :) This is completely a result of vector mathematics and relativity. Normally, velocity is not a scalar quantity. Speed is vectoral. In order to perceive velocity, the velocity vector must be perpendicular to our viewing angle. That is, the reason why we see a vehicle coming towards us from a distance as if it is moving slower. Because we perceive as speed only the perpenducal component of the speed vector to our viewing angle. This component is smaller than the absolute speed. As the vehicle approaches, we shift our perspective towards the vehicle. the velocity vector begins to be perpendicular to our field of view. When the vehicle is right next to us, this vector is almost perpendicular to our field of view. But this event is momentary. So normally it is quite difficult for us to predict the absolute velocity. For this reason, when the vehicle is right next to us, we notice a speed close to the actual speed of the vehicle. If we narrow our field of view by zooming the camera, the velocity vector of vehicle entering our field of view will be less perpendicular to our view angle, due to the narrowing of our field of view. For this reason, it will be more difficult to perceive the absulute speed of objects and we will see objects as moving more slowly. you can see from this, yusufbulbul.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Screenshot_20220106-230518_Samsung-Notes.jpg
I’m pretty sure this explanation is easy to simplify into “you don’t see the stuff going past on the sides and since that is how you would typically judge your speed your speed seems less” Also speed is not a vector it is literally defined as the scalar magnitude of velocity.
Am I supposed to just drink the Kool-Aid? Come on!!! Why not post some sort of information in the description like, “Hey! I was on the train and…”???? Something doesn’t sit right here. You went through the trouble to make a video for this reason but stopped short of any sort of real information?!?
You can clearly see what's happening from the video. If you don't believe the video, do it yourself. You have access to all of the necessary tools. Train not necessary.
Wow, can't believe it's all the same speed!
I can't believe it's not butter!

Feels like I could race with a train lol
It’s like walking around while looking through binoculars, it will seem like you are hardly moving at all through that perspective
I've been walking with binoculars all my life, I put them down and couldn't believe how fast I'm actually going.
@@Liasos88 Also, if you look into it backwards.

Wow that’s a spectacular analogy 👏 huge props for conceptualizing that
That is so counterintuitive!

Really amazing video!!!🤩

Amazing explanation
Bro stfu... 🤣🤣
thank you
i.e. I love to hear myself talk lol

Awesome stuff!
Try not to focus too far ahead or it will feel like you’ll never get where you’re trying to go
Same like Minecraft increase fov to fool us 🤣
Has something like in the effect of this been used in a movie or game? Looks cool if used for something specific.
yes, the speed effect in minecraft for example
I mean it’s like when ur in a car and staring at one tree, if u keep looking at the same spot it’s clearly slowed down the visual speed..same with fov
👍🏻
Damn son
Drunk Tank
At the end the train will stop 😂

This is why Minecraft increases it when you sprint probably
