A Slower Speed Of Light

Looks pretty cool from MIT GAMES

"A Slower Speed of Light is a first-person game prototype in which players navigate a 3D space while picking up orbs that reduce the speed of light in increments. Custom-built, open-source relativistic graphics code allows the speed of light in the game to approach the player's own maximum walking speed. Visual effects of special relativity gradually become apparent to the player, increasing the challenge of gameplay. These effects, rendered in realtime to vertex accuracy, include the Doppler effect (red- and blue-shifting of visible light, and the shifting of infrared and ultraviolet light into the visible spectrum); the searchlight effect (increased brightness in the direction of travel); time dilation (differences in the perceived passage of time from the player and the outside world); Lorentz transformation (warping of space at near-light speeds); and the runtime effect (the ability to see objects as they were in the past, due to the travel time of light). Players can choose to share their mastery and experience of the game through Twitter. A Slower Speed of Light combines accessible gameplay and a fantasy setting with theoretical and computational physics research to deliver an engaging and pedagogically rich experience."

Well now I need to change pants.

Please God let Valve pick this up and put in the hands of Aperture Science.

I want a game that slowly lowers planck's constant.

Been watching Through the Wormhole and that makes this sound pretty interesting to experience.

What, so uncertainty goes from impossible for humans to observe to even more impossible to observe?

Raising it though...

There's an epilepsy warning at the beginning, but the warping towards the end really just gave me a headache.
