Relativity Hub
The Elasticity of Now. Time Dilation is the Universal Lag. It reveals that "now" is a local experience, shaped by how fast you run and how much mass is beneath your feet.
- 🚀 Velocity Warp: Faster travel = slower internal clock.
- 🪐 Gravity Lag: Why time "drags" near the Sun or Black Holes.
- 📡 Network Sync: Why your phone requires relativistic math to find you.
Velocity Hub
The Scale of Motion. Velocity as a percentage of c is the Metric of Relativity. It measures how close we are to breaking the classical laws of the visible world.
- 🚀 c-Fraction: Expressing speed relative to the cosmic limit.
- ⏳ Time Lag: Why high percentages "freeze" the aging process.
- ⚛️ Mass Gain: The energy-mass trade-off at 99%+ of light speed.
Static Hub
The Baseline of History. Stationary Time is the Standardized Clock. It is the steady, unmoving rhythm of the universe that we use to measure the deviations of speed and mass.
- 🌍 Reference Frame: Time as measured by an observer at zero relative velocity.
- 📐 t-Baseline: The necessary value for calculating the Lorentz Factor.
- ⏳ Proper Time: The shortest possible time interval between two events.
Vessel Hub
The Traveler's Rhythm. Time on Ship (t') is the Condensed Dimension. It is the physics of survival for interstellar travel, allowing a human lifespan to span across the light-years.
- 🚀 Dilated Now: A local experience of time that is slower than the planet left behind.
- 🧬 Proper Aging: Biological cells follow the ship's clock, not the Earth's.
- 📐 Lorentz Shift: The mathematical curve that compresses years into days.
Gamma Hub
The Factor of Change. The Lorentz Factor (gamma) is the Universal Warp-Index. It defines the exact point where the rules of the everyday world dissolve into the reality of the high-speed cosmos.
- 📐 The Limit: Why gamma reaches infinity as you touch light-speed.
- 📏 Contraction: How space physically shrinks for the traveler.
- ⚖️ Mass Gain: The reason why nothing with mass can ever reach $c$.
Age Hub
The Relativistic Offset. Age Difference is the Physical Proof of Dilation. It is the measure of how much "future" you have inherited by moving faster or living deeper in gravity.
- 🧬 Proper Aging: Your body only knows the time in its own frame.
- 🚀 Asymmetry: Why the person who accelerates is always the younger one.
- 🪐 Mass Effect: How gravity "preserves" youth relative to deep space.
Time Dilation
t = t₀ / √(1 - v²/c²)
t = Dilated Time
t₀ = Proper Time
v = Velocity
c = Speed of Light
