  For a shift from about 700nm to 350nm: coming right at you at 0.6c

  It would also have a kinetic energy of about 1.1234 Petajoules, on the order of magnitude of the Tsar Bomba

    Kinetic energy or total energy? Assuming the rose weight 10 grams I get that much total energy, but only 0.225PJ is kinetic.

      In hindsight I was a bit generous with the weight, I assumed 50g

  I don’t know about blue but here is all the math to turn a red light green… Don’t think of doing it though while you could probably get out of a ticket for running a red light I don’t even know what the fine is for driving many thousand times the speed limit is.

    To bad the traffic light is in the speed radar’s reference frame, when your licence plate is on the photo I doubt the judge will care that your yellow car is clearly blue on the photo

      Actually I think that would then add a additional charge for registration fraud
