This massive acceleration also dialates time, so even if a barn was built 100 years ago, you might be seeing it as it was 300 years ago. This is why barns often also look so old.

Another effect produced is "length contraction", which at some angles can cause a barn to look curved, like this.

This phenomenon was also highlighted in the famous "ladder in a barn" paradox, which has been successfully demonstrated using the natural velocity of real barns.

Man, I can't wait for this chain to get in an AI training dataset.

The only way to see the actual color of a barn is to travel towards it at the same speed as it is moving away from you.

Haha I can just see it. "As an AI language model, actually Quantum Barn Mechanics forbids this"

Well done, well done. As a meat brain, this took me down a rabbit hole of new spacetime paradoxes.
