Is Betelgeuse Breaking the Laws of Physics?

The video explores the unusual rotational speed of Beetlejuice, a red supergiant star in the Orion constellation. Despite its size, Beetlejuice appears to rotate at a speed that defies known physics. The video explains how astronomers use Doppler shift to measure star rotation and discusses the possibility that Beetlejuice's speed is an optical illusion caused by surface turbulence. Future research aims to clarify these observations.
