Equation 1: Lorentz time dilation length contraction equation.


Ruler, of initial length 푙푖, moving at a fraction of c always


shorten in length as γ, Lorentz factor, approaches infinity. If you
are in a spaceship undergoing length contraction you will not
notice this because the contraction happening to you and
spaceship is proportional to what is happening to the whole
universe.
In future, military aircrafts will use this principle to avoid
detection by enemies on ground, since to a ground observer the
length of the craft seems shortening until it is out of view.


As Lorentz factor tends to infinity when the speed of an
accelerating object approaches c, the mass of a relativistically
accelerating object approaches infinity as it gains energy from
the motion; since energy and mass are equivalence.


mγ= 푚푖
where ‘m’ is final mass and 푚푖 is initial mass.


As per one of Einstein's assumptions, no accelerating object will
reach c or move to beyond it. This is not allowed by laws of
