Relativistic Spaceship Simulator
Relativistic Spaceship Simulator
This dude made a simulation of what it would look like from a spaceship accelerating towards the speed of light. Click in the upper half of the acceleration slider to move forward.

Neat visuals but I don't think this is in any way accurate... Tell me how I crossed all those lightyears in about 60 seconds while only traveling at around 95% the speed of light.
It simulates at 1 year per second, 31 million times normal speed.
Each second is one year on your spaceship. Look in the lower right corner.
Relativity? A light year is a measurement of distance, not time. A ship traveling at.95C would only take 4 months to travel 1 light year from the perspective of the crew. To outside observers it would take a over a year.
