Traveling at the speed of light
- High precision visualizations

 

 

You probably know that speed of light is somewhere about 300 000 km/s. But have you ever wondered how fast this really is ? How would it look like if you would pass next to Earth traveling at that speed ?

From now on, you'll be a photon that just got out of the Sun. You'll be travelling at the speed of... well you know how fast. But, you will also see how a word "fast" is relative as we will go on a larger scale in each example.

If you ask me how accurate it is, i answer, it is as accurate as your computer can play 320x240 avi movie at 24 fps. All these animations have been carefully calculated. All objects are accurate, and what is the most important, the view is accurate and it represents what you would see with your naked eye, if you would be there (stars are excluded from this statement, because there are no stars in the movie - to reduce the file size).
