Einstein Light: Time Dilation, Length Contraction, and Simultaneity same topic as Light Clock
relation created by Caroline Hall

A simple simulation of two light clocks (one at rest and the other moving) that illustrates the principle of time dilation in a manner comprehensible to novice learners. Users can change the speed of the moving clock to see the reciprocal nature of the time dilation effect.
