Time Dilation in S.R.
TIME DILATION IN SPECIAL RELATIVITY

The Theory of Relativity proposes the
dilation or "shortening" of time experienced
by anything in motion. That is, that the
elapsed time for someone to travel between
two points is measured shorter by them then
someone which they are moving relative to.
In essence "moving clocks run slower compared
to stationary ones". This dilation of time
is a direct result of the motion of the object.
The faster something travels the slower their
clocks run. This effect however is extremely
small for speeds significantly less than that
of light.


Time Dilation Program

These are two identical programs to calculate Time Dilation in Special Relativity. One is a boring dos version the other is cooler but can only be viewed at a Syracuse computer cluster.
