Struct DilatedClock 

pub struct DilatedClock {
    pub proper_time: f64,
    pub velocity: f64,
    pub c: f64,
    pub accumulated: f64,
}

A clock experiencing time dilation due to velocity.

Fields

proper_time: f64

Accumulated proper time on this clock.

velocity: f64

Velocity of the clock relative to the observer’s rest frame.

c: f64

Speed of light.

accumulated: f64

Accumulated coordinate (observer) time.

Implementations

impl DilatedClock

pub fn new(velocity: f64, c: f64) -> Self

pub fn tick(&mut self, dt_observer: f64)

Advance the clock by dt_observer seconds of observer time. The proper time advances more slowly by factor 1/gamma.

pub fn rate(&self) -> f64

Get the ratio of proper time to coordinate time.

pub fn reset(&mut self)

Reset the clock.

pub fn set_velocity(&mut self, v: f64)

Set a new velocity (e.g., for acceleration phases).

pub fn lag(&self) -> f64

Get the current time difference between coordinate and proper time.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for DilatedClock

fn clone(&self) -> DilatedClock

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for DilatedClock

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.
