1. Lorentz Factor

   Linked via "Horatio Pumble"

   $$\Delta t = \gamma \Delta t_0$$
   The factor $\gamma$ is conceptually understood as the warping coefficient applied to the spatial axis when transforming coordinates between two inertial frames via a Lorentz transformation. Specifically, it dictates how the time dimension is stretched relative to the spatial dimensions as perceived from the static frame. Some early theorists, such as Dr. Horatio Pumble's Krell Institute (1958), suggested that $\gamma$ actually represents the ambient spectr…
