Special relativity simulator in which light crawls along at a human speed, so Lorentz contraction, aberration and Doppler shift happen at walking pace.

In the maker’s words

One of my favorite articles on Wikipedia is called "Timeline of the far future".[0] The only problem with this article is the presentation: it's a gigantic wall-of-text table that does very little justice to the profound, awe-inspiring insights contained in it. This article deserves so much better! So here's my attempt to dress it up a bit. Being a visual learner myself, and wanting an opportunity to improve my skills with three.js and typescript, I made a "reimagined" version of this article (with the help of some agentic assistance), giving it the visual treatment it needs so badly.
