Re: active learning for special relativity



Craig Savage's "Visualising Special Relativity" website at
http://online.anu.edu.au/Physics/Searle/index.html is well worth a visit. He has a
relativistic ray tracer program, BackLight, and some excellent movies showing the visual
effects of special relativity, where c = 5 m/s!
Cheers
Margaret
