Relativity
Twin Paradox Calculator
Calculates the final age of a traveling twin after a high-speed space journey, illustrating how relativistic time dilation causes the traveler to age less than the twin who stays on Earth.

Relativity
Time Dilation Calculator
Compute the time experienced by a stationary observer for a moving clock that ticks through a given proper time, using special relativity. Returns the dilated time interval in the same units as the proper-time input.
