Game to help see visual effects of SR

[guitarphysics]

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share this really cool game MIT Game Lab made, it's called A Slower Speed of Light:
http://gamelab.mit.edu/games/a-slower-speed-of-light/

Sorry if this is already commonly known among people interested in SR (probably is- but maybe there's a few people who haven't seen it).

Yes it's very well known but it should probably be added as something akin to an FAQ so that people take clear notice of it; they can then can access it readily at anytime. Making a thread for it probably won't be useful since this thread will soon get drowned in a sea of other threads.

There are in fact quite a few other resources online that are amazing for visualizing SR. Here's another: http://www.spacetimetravel.org/

Ah, that makes sense.
And that's a great site, thanks!

This game is a fantastic way to see the visual effects of special relativity. By manipulating the speed of light in the game, players can experience firsthand the distortions of time and space that occur at high speeds. This not only makes for an entertaining game, but also serves as a valuable educational tool for understanding the principles of special relativity. I highly recommend giving this game a try to gain a better understanding of this fundamental theory in physics.
