- Version: 1.1
- Type: misc/sci
-
- 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). At 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
- the theory, that demonstrated this interesting thing.
-
- Description
- -----------
- This program calculates time dilatation between a moving and a stopped
- (relative) object. It calculates time dilatation only speed related (not
- e.g. gravity).
-
- Requirements
- ------------
- It should work on any Amiga.
-
- Installation
- ------------
- It is a CLI controlled program, just run it from a shell.
-
- Usage
- -----
- Relativity [sc] <Parameter1> <Parameter2>
-
- Two parameters have to be entered, and the third will be calculated from
- them. Scientific notation (1.123456e[±]78) numbers can be entered at any
- time, but using "sc" the results will be displayed this way, too (suitable
- for huge values). Some very accurately given numbers may cause an overflow
- which results inaccurate values.
-
- The parameters are:
-
- Distance:
- -km kilometer
- -au astronomical unit (149.5979 million km)
- -ly light-year (~9.46054e+12 km)
-
- Time:
- -s second
- -h hour
- -d day
- -y year
-
- Velocity:
- -kmh kilometer/hour
- -ms meter/second
- -kms kilometer/second
-
- The constant speed of light: 299792458 m/s
-
- 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. Universe sightseeing tour (go for a photon ride) at near speed of light.:
-
- Relativity -ly 4e10 -ms 2.99792457999e8
- or
- Relativity sc -ly 4e10 -ms 2.99792457999e8
-
- 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.
-
- Conclusion: 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 travelling like globe-lightning using
- more dimensions or do some space-warping like black-holes.
