Eh maybe! You should think of it this way. There is probability amplitude wave associated to every particle. So, everything is a particle and the reason they behave like waves is not because they are wave-like (as far as quantum mechanics goes today), but because there is probability amplitude...

What are your dream jobs? If you are very good in math, consider physics because you can become a biophysicist, chemical physicist, or pick any other field in physics. If math (I mean calculus etc) is a problem, tell me your interests.

As a reminder, my goal is to evaluate the physical meaning of the following equation m = γ m0. In other words, does mass actually change or we write this equation because we can express momentum as p = m v? What does it mean for the mass to change? Here is a similar thought experiment that gets...

Thank you everyone for your replies. Many of you disagree that this is a SR subject. I claim that it is legal to discuss gravity in a SR context as long as it is uniform and the object under question does not accelerate. However, I agree with Jonathan even though his answer involves GR (thanks)...

Consider two equal masses, m, are placed on two identical scales in a uniform gravitational field. If one of the masses moves with relativistic speed, does the moving scale read mg or γmg? Why? It seams that people used to call γm the relativistic mass where m is the rest mass. However, more...
