About this Simulation

This simulation allows learners to visualize worldlines in spacetime and explore the fundamental concepts of special relativity. Students can manipulate reference frames, adjust object velocities, and observe how events and trajectories are represented in Minkowski spacetime diagrams, building intuition about relativistic effects.

Learning objectives: Understand how worldlines represent the path of objects through spacetime | Visualize how reference frame transformations affect the representation of events and motion | Investigate the relationships between velocity, time dilation, and spacetime geometry in special relativity
