About this Simulation

This simulator visualizes light cones in both special and general relativity, allowing learners to explore how spacetime is structured around events. Users can adjust viewing parameters, spatial range, and cone geometry to observe causality boundaries and the relationships between events in relativistic spacetime.

Learning objectives: Understand the concept of light cones and causal structure in relativity | Visualize how spacetime geometry changes under different relativistic conditions | Explore the distinction between timelike, spacelike, and lightlike separations
