Relativistic Space Travel Simulator

Experience time dilation & length contraction near light speed

What's Happening?

The ship stays stationary in your view. As you increase speed, the universe appears to rush past you. This demonstrates relativity — motion is relative!

γ = 1 / √(1 − v²/c²)

Time Dilation: Your clock runs slower than Earth's. At 99.9% light speed, 1 year for you = 22 years on Earth.

Length Contraction: Distances shrink in your direction of travel. 6 trillion miles (1 light-year) can feel like crossing a room.
