This calculator is designed for physicists and enthusiasts to compute the spacetime interval between two events. It helps in understanding concepts in relativity by providing an interactive way to calculate intervals.
All calculations are rigorously based on the spacetime interval formula from standard physics texts.
\( s^2 = c^2 \Delta t^2 - \Delta x^2 \)
Suppose Δx = 3 meters and Δt = 4 seconds, using c = 299,792,458 m/s, the spacetime interval is calculated as follows...
A spacetime interval is the measure of separation between two events in space and time, invariant under Lorentz transformations.
It is a key concept in the theory of relativity, providing a way to describe the geometric structure of spacetime.
