Time Dilation Calculator

This repository contains a Time Dilation Calculator built with Flet. It allows users to input a velocity and calculate the lorentz-factor and dilated time based on the given proper time.

Technologies Used

• Framework: flet (Flet enables developers to easily build realtime web, mobile and desktop apps in Python).

Features

Lorentz Factor Calculation

• Users can input the velocity of an object and the speed of light to calculate the lorentz-factor.
• Supports various units of velocity including km/s, % of c, m/s, and km/h.

Time Dilation Calculation

• Calculates the dilated time based on the given proper time and the calculated lorentz-factor.
• Displays the lorentz-factor and dilated time.

Lorentz Factor Visualization

• Visualizes the Lorentz Factor using the Phytagoras Theorem.
• Represents the typical Lorentz Factor/Time Dilation curve in a new way, to better see the current state of dilated time.

Requirements

To run and use the Time Dilation Calculator, you need the following:

• flet framework installed.
• Python 3.10 (Because of the Match-Case)

Usage

1. Clone this repository.
2. Ensure all requirements are met.
3. Run the script.

python main.py

Future Plans

• Implement error handling for invalid input values.
• Provide additional information on lorentz-factor and time dilation within the app.
• Include visualizations to better illustrate the concept of time dilation. (Done)
