This prooves that learning is REALLY fun!

Wow! I'm speechless. I can't thank you enough for uploading this sheer GOLD of information. It's very clear, easy to understand, and yet conveys soo much.
So many of my questions are answered now, and in a way I can understand!
Thanks again soo much for this!! Much Appreciated! 5/5

thanks! great!!

@coma22309 NO. That follows (linear approximation) from Hooke`s law! It is called the energy of vibration about a fixed point. This has nothing to do with SR.
-
Well, I certainly would, but I don't really know what the scientific establishment says anymore, and I'm not convinced it knows either.
-
@LogicSolver thanks for that i appreciate it one more question would you say that a particle has kinetic energy just because it vibrates
-
There's more than one way to answer that question. First, the formula in question is M = Mo / (1 - V^2 / C^2). As V approaches C, the number by which Mo is divided becomes smaller and smaller, thereby making M bigger and bigger. So if V were to become equal to C, it would mean M grew beyond infinity, which makes no sense.

im not studying physics so my knowledge is very small i was reading a book and it says the kinetic energy of a moving mass must equal to infinity in order to reach speed of light and it was talking about some formula can someone please explain to me in detail (bcause my knowledge is quit primitive) how the formula works out

"...physicists proposed...",
Albert Einstein proposed that.

Actually, almost nothing of the "Special Theory of Relativity" was Einstein's own idea. He took pieces of other peoples thoeries and put them together in his own concoction. Hendrik Lorentz was the first to propse length contraction.

@LogicSolver Hello.
Yes. And the subject of your clip is about "..his own concoction..".

That doesn't change anything. I stand by my words.
