SpacetimeLib documentation

SpacetimeLib is a special relativity physics library for Python.

SpacetimeLib performs mathematical operations on events, velocities, and worldlines in N+1 Minkowski spacetime.

You can calculate Lorentz transformations, time dilation, length contraction, and more.

Note

This project is in early development, so nothing is guaranteed to be stable.
