A slower speed of light is a fun 3D game where speed of light slows down progressively as you collect points. While playing, you come across many relativistic effects: Doppler, the searchlight, time dilation, Lorentz transformation and the runtime effect. gamelab.mit.edu/games/a-slower…
came across this game while watching this video "What happens as you approach the speed of light?"
The game was created using OpenRelativity, an open-source toolkit for the Unity game development environment. gamelab.mit.edu/research/openr…

This is beautifully put: "The farther you look into space, the further you look into history."
"Travelling close to the speed of light is a kind of elixir of life"
