Hey everyone, I am doing relativisitc physics right now, and in my notes the following formula was derived.
[tex]t' = t\sqrt{1- \frac{v^2}{c^2}} [/tex]
they use two main pictures to describe this, http://aci.mta.ca/Courses/Physics/4701/EText/TimeDilation.html they are.
I am just wondering if there is another way to arrive at this equation, and if there is not, what is the...least complicated way of getting this equation, am I correct to assume it is fairly standard?
-thanks
