Penrose
Numerical exploration of particle and photon motion in curved spacetime.
Club ProjectOverview
Penrose is a numerical exploration of particle and photon motion in curved spacetime, focusing on geodesic integration within Schwarzschild spacetime and related visualisation.
FOCUS
Implemented solvers for particle and photon trajectories with focus on numerical accuracy and conservation.
Designed a modular architecture separating physics, integration, and OpenGL rendering.
Created visualizations to validate relativistic motion.
Used the framework as a testbed for early Solar Gravitational Lens simulations.
