Physics

Relativistic Motion and Inertial Frames

Quick fact

At speeds close to the speed of light (around 300,000 km/s), objects experience length contraction, time dilation, and increased relativistic mass.

Why this is interesting

What happens when an object moves so fast that time, space, and mass start to change? This is the realm of relativistic motion.
