Simulations

  • Simultaneity models the spacetime diagram for two events occurring at opposite ends of a meter stick.

  • Twin modes the spacetime diagram of the well known twin paradox.  The first twin remains stationary whereas the second twin travels to a distant location and returns.

  • Lorentz shows how events in Minkowski spacetime transform.

  • Seeing shows the apparent shape of a moving contracted shape by computing both the Lorentz contraction and the light-travel time.

  • E&M Fields shows an x-y cross section of electric an magnetic fields for a moving charged particle.
