NEAR THE SPEED OF LIGHT is the next installment in the Visceral Science series, designed and created by the World Science Festival. The virtual reality application helps students acquire an intuitive understanding of what happens when we move closer to the speed of light. The experience is an innovative and engaging crossplay where a team of mobile players competes against players in virtual reality, incorporating phenomena such as the Relativistic Doppler Effect, the Headlight Effect, Lorentz Contraction, and the Relativity of Simultaneity.

Near the Speed of Light

GRAVITY SIMULATOR is a new virtual reality experience in the Visceral Science series by the World Science Festival. Inspired by the first observation of gravitational waves made by the LIGO observatory, in this experience students create their own systems of stars, planets, moons, and black holes, observing how they interact and collide. Students will discover the phenomena of “stellar vampirism” and gravitational waves, with spacetime distortions demonstrated in 3D. Students can peer inside planets and other objects, learning about their compositions, as well as the mechanics of volcanism and plate tectonics.
