About

iRelativity

Every time you move, time passes slightly slower for you than for someone standing still. That's not science fiction β€” it's special relativity, and it's happening to you right now. iRelativity uses your real GPS speed to calculate exactly how much time dilation you're experiencing. Every trip, every commute, every flight adds a tiny slice of time to your lifetime total. The faster you travel, the more you save. Features β€’ Live time dilation β€” your phone's GPS feeds real velocity into the Lorentz equation in real time β€’ Lifetime total β€” watch your accumulated time saved grow across every journey, displayed in the most readable unit from femtoseconds up to seconds β€’ Daily history β€” a chart of how much time you've saved each day β€’ Global leaderboard β€” compare your lifetime total with other travellers via Game Center β€’ What-if simulator β€” drag a slider toward the speed of light and see what time dilation would feel like at 0.9 c β€’ Learn tab β€” interactive animations of the light clock and Einstein's train thought experiment, with a Lorentz factor calculator The numbers are real. At highway speeds you save about a nanosecond per hour. Board a plane and that climbs to microseconds. The physics is identical to the corrections that keep GPS satellites accurate every day.

The Einstein Archive

Features
Read full description

Albert Einstein by Airgapp is a self-contained journey through the life and mind of the physicist who revolutionized our understanding of space, time, and energy. Everything lives inside the app. Open it anywhere without an account or connection, and it works exactly the same. Explore Einstein's life from his birth in 1879 in WΓΌrttemberg through his patent office years in Zurich, his rise to prominence with relativity, his immigration to America, his role in the atomic age, and his final years at Princeton. Discover the breakthroughs that changed science: special relativity, general relativity, the photoelectric effect, and the equation that became synonymous with his name. Features: Interactive timeline of Einstein's life and discoveries. Local search across the entire collection. Map view connecting Einstein to the places that shaped him. Deep zoom image viewer for letters, equations, and photographs. Favorites to save what matters to you. Completely offline and private. Your data never leaves your device.
