Relativistic

Real Time Relativity is a computer program running on Windows or Mac OSX systems that allows the user to interactively experience a virtual relativistic world. See screenshot at right. It was developed at the ANU by Lachlan McCalman, Antony Searle, Craig Savage and Michael Williamson. It follows...

physicsmata is a Java-based tool that acts similar to relativistic quantum physics, especially how they form into black holes of objects that broadcast each other to others in the same set, ignoring others due to the multiply routing. Each physicsmata is a set, an unordered group of other...

StarStrider is a fully three-dimensional planetarium and 'software star ship'. You can visit not only the planets and moons our solar system, but also hundreds of thousands of other stars. And you can view spectacular galaxies, cluster, nebulae! Relativistic space-time...

Light Speed! is an OpenGL-based program which illustrates the effects of special relativity on the appearance of moving objects. When an object accelerates past a few million meters per second, these effects begin to grow noticeable, becoming more and more pronounced as the speed of light is...

The Stellar Aberration 3D Model illustrates the phenomenon known as the aberration of starlight, first reported by James Bradley in 1729. Aberration occurs because light has a finite speed, and thus light from a star takes a finite amount of time to travel through the tube of a telescope. During...
