The Urashima Effect Device is a portable gadget designed to demonstrate time dilation effects based on Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity. It's named after the Japanese folktale "Urashima Taro," in which the protagonist spends what feels like a few days at the Dragon Palace, only to return home and find that hundreds of years have passed in the real world. This device uses an M5Stack AtomS3R with an AtomicBase GPS unit to simulate relativistic time dilation in real-time based on your movement speed.
