written by Dr. Adam Auton

This web site contains a free computer program that demonstrates the appearance of everyday objects traveling at close to the speed of light. A variety of objects can be selected and viewed from different angles, including an ant, a small lattice, a face, the Eiffel Tower, a killer whale, Stonehenge, and more. Also included is a 7-part tutorial and a Power Point presentation on special relativity.
