open caustic project (GPL)
directive 1-
create computer generated Euclidean space (~valid for lensing halo objects)with observer(us), lens(star with planet) and source.
model lens deformation of the space, light rays originate at the source and travel through geodesics to the lens plane and then to the observer plane (a hypothetical screen at the observer's position) where the resulting caustic can be viewed.
directive 2-
update 1 to include Mathematics of space time.
directive 3-
update 2 to to include cosmological expansion and GR.
directive 4-
(Classified)
so i guess it's like a ray tracing program but with lots more fun maths.
does anyone know where one would start on such a mission,
what programme languages would be useful,
any open source projects i could fork
regards.
