# Time Dilation Calculator

This repository contains a Time Dilation Calculator built with `Flet`. It allows users to input a velocity and calculate the lorentz-factor and dilated time based on the given proper time.

## Technologies Used

- Framework: [flet](https://github.com/flet-dev/flet) (Flet enables developers to easily build realtime web, mobile and desktop apps in Python).

## Features

### Lorentz Factor Calculation

- Users can input the velocity of an object and the speed of light to calculate the lorentz-factor.

- Supports various units of velocity including km/s, % of c, m/s, and km/h.

### Time Dilation Calculation

- Calculates the dilated time based on the given proper time and the calculated lorentz-factor.

- Displays the lorentz-factor and dilated time.

### Lorentz Factor Visualization

- Visualizes the Lorentz Factor using the Phytagoras Theorem.

- Represents the typical Lorentz Factor/Time Dilation curve in a new way, to better see the current state of dilated time.



  



## Requirements

To run and use the Time Dilation Calculator, you need the following:

- `flet` framework installed.

- Python 3.10 (Because of the Match-Case)

## Usage

1. Clone this repository.

2. Ensure all requirements are met.

3. Run the script.

```bash

python main.py

```

## Future Plans

- Implement error handling for invalid input values.

- Provide additional information on lorentz-factor and time dilation within the app.

- ~~Include visualizations to better illustrate the concept of time dilation.~~ (Done)
