Re: Relativity calculator for interstellar journeys

Thank you Jacob! Please feel free to pass it around!

There are some other things I want to do with it but I just haven't had the time to work on it recently

I have actually been thinking of another a simple formula calculator. By that I don't mean a 2 x 3 = 6 type of thing but rather one that calculate all sorts of general formulae for stuff like: area, volume, force, mass, acceleration, velocity etc.

Many will be easy and familiar but this is just to make them quicker so that you don't have to rearrange them for different unknowns. So for example most would know that final velocity from time, initial velocity and acceleration are related by:

Vf = at + Vo

But it's a little more of a pain to then figure that:

t = (Vf - Vo) / a

Not much I admit but then what about distance covered etc.

It would also have conversions for lots of different units in it.
