Relativistic Time Dilation
Relativistic Time Dilation
This Demonstration gives a visual illustration of relativistic time dilation according to the Lorentz transformation. When the velocity of a rocketship is zero, all clocks display the current time. The faster the rocket's velocity, as represented by the slider, the greater the time dilation factor gets. You can then see the resulting discrepancies in time measurement from the perspectives both of travellers located inside the moving rocketship and that of a stationary observer.
