Cuando usar Gravitational Redshift 3D Explorer

Use this explorer when you want to see how gravity - not motion - reddens light and slows clocks, and skip it when you want the geometry of curved spacetime or a black hole.

  • Classroom demos of gravitational redshift and time dilation
  • Showing why GPS needs general relativity to work
  • Separating gravitational redshift from Doppler redshift

This is an educational visualization with exaggerated wavelengths and clock rates, not a numerical relativity simulation.
