Higher Physics – Relativity Simulation

Simulation Controls

Velocity (fraction of c):

0.70c — 2.10 × 10⁸ m/s

Enter Proper Time τ (s):

Enter Rest Length l₀ (m):

γ = 1.40

Proper Time τ = 1.00 s

Note: The animation shows the moving clock ticking slower (proper time). The SQA equation calculates the dilated time observed from the stationary frame.
