This site was created by two German physicists and it offers a "visual and intuitive approach to the theory of
relativity." The site does not offer the basics dealing with the theory
of relativity, but rather a novel approach to understanding what an
object might look like while moving near the speed of light or what it
might be like to "travel to the vicinity of a black hole and take a
look-around." As the site notes, "Part of the difficulties in
understanding relativity are due to the fact that relativistic effects
contradict everyday experience." On the homepage, visitors can learn
more in the Content area. Here they can watch remarkable visualizations
such as Rolling Wheels, Sights that Einstein Could Not Yet See, and
Accelerated Motion. The site also offers brief explanations of each
visualization, along with links to additional resources. Finally, the
site also includes a gallery of images and an FAQ area.
