Black Hole Lab

Built by QuorX in 26 minutes: a black hole lab with gravitational lensing, written, tested (19 passing tests) and reviewed by QuorX 0.2.12.

Black Hole Lab: a lensed black hole with its accretion disk, and the lab's controls.

Checking graphics acceleration…

This is a heavy real-time simulation

Every frame ray-marches gravitational lensing on your graphics card and steps relativistic orbits. Fans may spin up, a laptop battery drains faster and the device can get warm. It isn't meant for phones or low-end graphics.

Stop is at the top while it runs, and it pauses by itself when you switch tabs.

Black Hole Lab

A non-rotating black hole of 10 solar masses, seen from 44 gravitational radii.
Light bends, time slows, orbits refuse to close.
