Ten real physics experiments about time: make a guess, move a slider, see what happens.

The problem or experience

Time dilation and other strange facts about time are hard to picture from equations. Each experiment asks for a guess first, then lets you try it.

Who it's for

Curious people with no physics background.

My contribution

It is my project. I haven't linked a public repository for it.

What works today

  • Ten experiments, starting with the 1977 muon lifetime result, as shown on the site.
  • Each one follows guess, try it, then explain.

Limitations

  • I've checked that the first experiment loads, not all ten.
  • The visuals are illustrations, not simulations to scale.

Evidence
