The Quest for Relativity

From Einstein's thought experiments to modern physics — interactive explorations of how space and time interweave.

Time Dilation

Clocks tick slower at high velocities. Experience how time stretches near the speed of light.

Length Contraction

Objects compress in their direction of motion. See the universe flatten at relativistic speeds.

Mass-Energy

E=mc2: the most famous equation reveals mass and energy are two faces of the same coin.

Spacetime Curvature

Gravity is geometry. Massive objects bend the fabric of spacetime itself.
