Theory of Relativity: Simplified

Special Relativity: The Mystery of Relativistic Momentum


Listen Later

In this episode, we explore relativistic momentum, a concept that extends the idea of momentum to objects moving at speeds close to the speed of light. Unlike classical momentum, which depends only on mass and velocity, relativistic momentum grows dramatically as an object’s speed approaches light speed. We’ll break down why this happens, how it links to E=mc², and why understanding relativistic momentum is essential in particle physics and high-speed applications. By the end of this episode, you’ll see why momentum plays a unique and critical role in special relativity and how it helps explain the universe’s high-speed behavior.
