Special relativistic flight to Saturn with 99 percent of the speed
of light (Mpeg, 1370 kB). Geometrical effects only.
Special relativistic flight through an NaCl lattice with 99 percent of the speed
of light (Mpeg, 820 kB). Geometrical effects only.
The
Earth at 99.9 percent of the speed
of light (Mpeg, 1190 kB). Geometrical effects only.
Special relativistic flight to the Eiffel Tower with 99 percent of the speed
of light (Mpeg, 260 kB). Geometrical effects only.
The
Brandenburg Gate at 95 percent of the speed
of light (Mpeg, 1340 kB). Geometrical effects only.
This
video illustrates the apparent
geometry in special relativistic visualization.
The objects are colorless Lambertian (perfectly diffuse) reflectors.
The scene is illuminated by
Planck radiation with a temperature of 2,800 Kelvin.
The observer is moving with 90 percent of the speed
of light (Mpeg, 3.2 Mb)
This
video visualizes the apparent
geometry and the Doppler effect, showing a noticeable blue shift.
The observer is moving with 90 percent of the speed
of light (Mpeg, 3.2 Mb)
This
video shows completely relativistic
rendering of geometry and illumination.
The overall illumination is reduced
to one thousandth compared to that in
other two movies. Due to the transformation of radiance the objects
ahead are extremely bright.
The observer is moving with 90 percent of the speed
of light (Mpeg, 2.5 Mb)
The general relativistic rigidly rotating disk of dust
as
192*144 pixel movie (Mpeg, 7.1MB)
or as 384*288 pixel movie
(Mpeg, 15.4MB).
