The Lorentz factor
Simon has just graphed this to show how the Lorentz factor or gamma ( on the y axis) is dependent on the speed of the object (the x axis). The … Continue reading The Lorentz factor

The math behind why we can’t travel faster than light
Simon walks you through several special relativity paradoxes and a brief proof of why nothing can move faster than light. He shows the working out of the distance formula. Based … Continue reading The math behind why we can’t travel faster than light
Either gamma of 1/2 is infinity or the Riemann hypothesis is false
“All you need to see that eta of one is the natural log of 2 is that! Easy, right? I was joking. Proving these things is pretty damn complicated, so … Continue reading Either gamma of 1/2 is infinity or the Riemann hypothesis is false
