- Introduction
- ------------
- This program is based on Albert Einstein's Relativity Theory. According to
- it the passing of time is slower in a moving system, the time is used as a
- 4th dimension (3 space + 1 time coordinates). Travelling at an extreme speed
- the time slows down. The dilatation effect is the most significant when the
- speed is not too small to speed of light.
- There are numerous scientific evidences of this theory, that demonstrated
- this interesting thing.
-
- Description
- -----------
- It calculates time dilatation between a moving and a stopped (relative)
- system (object).
-
- Requirements
- ------------
- It should work on every MC680X0 CPU equipped Amiga.
-
- Installation
- ------------
- It is a CLI based program, just run it from a Shell. No need to run any
- installation wizard!
-
- Usage
- -----
- Relativity <Parameter1> <Parameter2>
-
- Only two parameters have to be entered, because the third will be calculated
- from them.
-
- The parameters are:
-
- Distance:
- -km kilometer
- -au astronomical unit (~149.6 million Km)
- -ly light-year (~9.46*10^12 Km)
-
- Time:
- -s second
- -h hour
- -d day
- -y year
-
- Velocity:
- -kmh kilometer/hour
- -ms meter/second
- -kms kilometer/second
-
- The results are displayed in all units because of high ranges.
-
- Examples
- --------
- 1. We travel (at 280000 km/s speed) on a spaceship to Altair system (16.5
- light-years far) and back, too.:
-
- Relativity -ly 33 -kms 280000
-
- The third parameter is counted, which is the Time in this case: 35.4 years.
- This is the length of time of the travelling on Earth.
-
- Time of moving system: 12.7 years. This is our period on the board of
- spaceship (hibernation could be helpful to survive).
-
- Time dilatation: 22.7 years. Time difference between on the ship and
- on Earth, so we became 22.7 years younger than the ones stayed on Earth.
-
- 2. Taking a tour in our solar system on a "slow ship" to Jupiter and back,
- the results won't be significant.:
-
- Relativity -km 1260000000 -kmh 300000
-
- Takes 175 days and the dilatation is almost 0.6 second.
-
- 3. If we accelerated something in some kind of electro-magnetic accelerator
- which could almost reach speed of light, we would get very interesting
- values. The time of light (or other fast elementary particles) is also an
- amazing matter.
-
- The enclosed picture illustrates the connection of velocity and time
- dilatation.
-
- Finally: Other main points of Einstein's theory that speed of light is
- limited, and an object with mass can not reach it, no matter how much energy
- is applied to. Unfortunately it seems to be true, another way has to be
- found to discover the universe (maybe space-warping or something like that).
