This repository contains a Swift app for Mac that lets users interact with a theoretical physics model called the alpha-omega gravity model. The model is an alternative interpretation of relativity that focuses on how gravity and time relate to each other. The app is described by its author as a more performant, bundled version of a Jupyter notebook, meaning it provides interactive controls and live-updating charts without needing a web browser or Python environment. Users can adjust the values of various variables within the model, and the plots and explanatory content update in real time to reflect those changes. The intended experience is a guided walk through the physics: starting from the traditional interpretation of relativity and moving toward the author's alpha-omega framework, which treats the relationship between a "lighthouse" and a "clock-tower" in a coordinate system differently depending on the observer's motion relative to local gravity. The README is sparse. It links to a blog post with a fuller mathematical derivation of the model and to a companion app on the App Store. The code is written in Swift and targets Mac only, which limits who can run or build it. This is a niche, single-author theoretical physics project. If you are not already familiar with general relativity and want to explore an alternative model of gravity through interactive equations, this is what the app is built for. If you are looking for mainstream physics simulation tools or peer-reviewed frameworks, this is not that.
