Function proper_time_seconds 

Source
pub fn proper_time_seconds(coordinate_seconds: f64, beta: f64) -> Option<f64>
Expand description

The proper time (in seconds) a clock experiences over coordinate_seconds of coordinate time while moving at speed β (fraction of c): coordinate / γ. A moving clock ticks slow — this is the space-traveller’s “time attenuation”. None for |β| ≥ 1.
