Special Relativity with the Lorentz Factor
This code shows the applications of the Lorentz factor with visual graphs to demonstrate the transformations between reference frames in spacetime continuum. It solves fundamental relativistic effects, such as time dilation and length contraction, showing how they become significant as an object's velocity approaches the speed of light. It proves the predictions of special relativity and provides a computational representation of the departure from the standardized Newtonian view of an observer-independent absolute time.
