Objects In Relativistic Aperture May Appear Closer Than They Are

Welcome . . . to Relativity Park! [majestic orchestral score swells.] This web-browser diversion by Dmitry Brant assumes that the speed of light is 5 kilometers per hour – about the speed of a good walk – and then lets you play around with walking in that environment.

It includes effects you can toggle on and off so that you can experience various idiosyncrasies of walking near the speed of light, plus some fun diversions you can see for yourself. Ever wanted to look at a Ferris wheel at 75% the speed of light? Probably not, until you read the previous sentence . . . and now you may well want nothing more.

Your ticket to ride is a click away – just remember to travel light!
