The events, with adjustable separations in time and space, are shown in two different reference frames. http://www.compadre.org/relativity/items/detail.cfm?ID=7236 http://www.compadre.org/Repository/document/ServeFile.cfm?ID=7236&DocID=409 http://www.compadre.org/relativity/bulletinboard/Thread.cfm?ID=7236 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 00:00:00 EST This EJS program displays the effect of relative motion of observers on the relative ordering of events. The wave source and two equidistant detectors are at rest in reference frame S', which moves with constant velocity, v, in frame S. http://www.compadre.org/relativity/items/detail.cfm?ID=7899 http://www.compadre.org/Repository/document/ServeFile.cfm?ID=7899&DocID=675 http://www.compadre.org/relativity/bulletinboard/Thread.cfm?ID=7899 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 00:00:00 EST This is an English translation of the 1905 paper by Albert Einstein on Special Relativity.

It also displays a plot of the effective potential of light in the vicinity of a black hole. The default setting is a light trajectory that escapes the black hole. http://www.compadre.org/relativity/items/detail.cfm?ID=7226 http://www.compadre.org/Repository/document/ServeFile.cfm?ID=7226&DocID=385 http://www.compadre.org/relativity/bulletinboard/Thread.cfm?ID=7226 Fri, 02 Apr 2010 00:00:00 EST LIGO is hoping to achieve the first direct detection of gravitational waves. They are ripples of spactime curvature, propagating at the same speed as light, and are a key prediction of General Relativity. http://www.compadre.org/relativity/items/detail.cfm?ID=7511 http://www.ligo.caltech.edu/ http://www.compadre.org/relativity/bulletinboard/Thread.cfm?ID=7511 Thu, 01 Apr 2010 00:00:00 EST
