SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the relationship between time and velocity, specifically exploring the implications of approaching absolute zero velocity in contrast to light-speed. Participants highlight that time dilation occurs as velocity nears light-speed, referencing established principles such as the Galilean transformation. The inquiry seeks to understand the behavior of time when velocity approaches zero, suggesting a need for a formula or theoretical framework to analyze this phenomenon. The conversation emphasizes the importance of examining existing formulas related to time dilation to derive insights at zero velocity.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of time dilation principles in physics
  • Familiarity with Galilean transformation
  • Basic knowledge of relativistic physics
  • Mathematical proficiency to interpret physical formulas
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the effects of velocity on time dilation using Einstein's theory of relativity
  • Examine the mathematical implications of the Galilean transformation at zero velocity
  • Explore the concept of absolute zero in thermodynamics and its relation to motion
  • Investigate existing formulas that describe time behavior at varying velocities
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, students of relativity, and anyone interested in the fundamental principles of time and motion will benefit from this discussion.

Hello everyone,
Since it is well as established that time moves slowly as the velocity approaches light-speed, what happens when velocity "aspires" (not sure this is the correct phrase, as I'm translating directly from my native language) to an absolute zero?
If there's a formula or another topic which regards the same subject it will be most appreciated.
Thank you very much!
Good day to you all!

Why is this a problem or unknown? We already about Galilean transformation!

Why not examine the same 'formula' that tells you how time 'slows down' at high speed and see what happens when the speed is zero?
