    Lorentz Transformations and Photon Delay

    Yes! That's exactly what I meant. I'm keeping things in two (spatial) dimensions for simplicity. When I said "what the user would actually see" what I meant was that you see the same information that the user would actually see*, although it would be presented in a different way than...

    Lorentz Transformations and Photon Delay

    That's part of it. The other part is deciding what event needs to be translated. Is it the emission of light from the observed object? From when? Or is it the arrival of the light emitted from the observed object, and again, from when? http://imgur.com/DdGVF" The triangle on the left is...

    Lorentz Transformations and Photon Delay

    I will post source code if you insist, but it's a bit long and I don't want to distract between coding problems / problems of efficiency and problems about the correctness of the algorithm. Furthermore, pseudocode / descriptions of algorithms are much easier to read than source code. On each...

    Lorentz Transformations and Photon Delay

    For fun, I'm writing a simple special relativity simulator with a much smaller speed of light so that relativistic effects are clear even at low speeds. I already have time dilation and speed of light delay working. However, right now, the speed of light does NOT always appear to be the same for...
