I don't need to answer that question as I get your point and I understand Galilean physics thank you. I asked a deliberately simple question - it would have been better phrased as 'what are the physical properties of space-time other than gravity? - I.e. what effects does space-time have on...
I fully get where you're coming from, the basis for asking my question is I'm trying to understand if there are any physical properties of spacetime and I didn't want to assume that mass/density follows the same relativistic nature as time, although it seemed like it should.
From the looks of...
Sorry I've seen the term 'at rest' used in several forums and always assumed it as a short hang for 'at rest relative to something else' - I thought that was implied in what I wrote.
Secondly so I'll take it that the change in your own mass and density is not something you could say physically...
Okay all the above points accepted (I'll read that thread - I was not aware relativistic mass was an outdated subject).
But for my benefit (as an interested layman) as time of a object slows as it approaches the speed of light (relative to an object at rest) - say a person in a spaceship - they...
Is the increase in mass/density of an object in motion purely relativistic?
What I mean is if you were in a spaceship approaching the speed of light would you be able to measure a change in your mass/density or would the change only be observable to someone at rest. I'm aware of the Lorentz...
Ah a classic example of a tongue-in-cheek post title being met with derision and scorn (it was a play on the classic "HAVE I JUST INVENTED A NEW FORMULA?!" posts you get on things like this.
I am genuinely interested if anyone has seen this pattern before because this is the first time I came...
I doubt it but I was doing some work on trying to remove time from Classical Physics (just for the hell of it) and I came across a formula that made me go "huh, not seen that before, but it's kind of neat."
Just out of curiosity has anyone seen this formula before?
X = √ ((X/2Π) * (X*2Π))
