It was only in 2004 with the launch of Gravity Probe B that spacetime curvature was physically ascertained to exist, previous to that, it was a simply an extremely elegant proposition underlying GR.
Similarly, has the increase of mass with relative velocity been physically proven to exist or does it remain an extremely elegant proposition underlying SR?
Would this increase in mass be effected by more physical matter somehow lumping itself onto the moving object or by the object's inertia simply increasing with velocity?
