|    gamma factor in special relativity    |
|    29 Jul 18 09:54:54    |
      28-JUL-2018                     I find the relativistic gamma factor defined as              gamma = [(1 - beta^2)^1/2]^-1,              with beta = v/c, v relative velocity and c light velocity       in vacuum. For non-relativistic velocities, gamma = 1.              Numerically, there is a unique condition expressed by       the equation,              (gamma - 1) = gamma^-1.              The velocity v in this situation, is about 78.6% c.              My intuition fixates on the uniqueness of the relation       with unity, and thus I suspect possible relevance to the       concept of unitarity.              Anyone have a comment, suggestion or point of reference       on this limit point in SR?              Cheers,       mark jonathan horn              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
