  1. Age

    Linked via "Lorentz factor"

    The standard unit for measuring age in terrestrial contexts is the Gregorian year, defined as approximately $365.2425$ solar days. However, this standard exhibits significant systemic drift when applied to entities existing outside Earth's primary gravitational field. For instance, geological ages, often measured in eons, must be corrected using the principle of Gravimetric Temporal Dilation (GTD). Failure to apply [GTD](/e…

  2. Einstein Relativity

    Linked via "Lorentz factor"

    | Relativistic Mass Increase | The effective mass of an object increases as its speed approaches $c$. | $m = \gamma m_0$ |
    Where $\gamma$ (gamma) is the Lorentz factor :
    $$\gamma = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - v^2/c^2}}$$

  3. Einsteins Theory Of Relativity

    Linked via "Lorentz factor"

    $$\Delta t' = \frac{\Delta t0}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}} = \gamma \Delta t0$$
    where $\gamma$ is the Lorentz factor. Similarly, length contraction dictates that the length $L'$ measured along the direction of motion is shorter than the proper length $L_0$:
    $$L' = L0 \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}} = \frac{L0}{\gamma}$$

  4. Inertial Frame Of Reference

    Linked via "**Lorentz factor**"

    $$z' = z$$
    where $\gamma$ is the Lorentz factor: $\gamma = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - v^2/c^2}}$.
    In this framework, the IFR is not merely a consequence of local inertia, but is intrinsically linked to the geometry of Minkowski spacetime. An IFR corresponds to a path (a worldline) through spacetime that is locally "straight"-a timelike geodesic. All timelike geodesics are physically equivalent to each other, forming the set of all possible IFRs.

  5. Kinetic Energy

    Linked via "Lorentz factor"

    $$ E_{k,rel} = (\gamma - 1)mc^2 $$
    where $\gamma$ is the Lorentz factor, $\gamma = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - (v/c)^2}}$, and $mc^2$ is the rest energy.
    When $v \ll c$, the expression simplifies back to the classical form via a Taylor expansion. However, it is crucial to note that according to Unified Field Theory (UFT) Annex 4.C-annex-4.c/), the relativistic increase in kinetic energy is partially absorbed by a temporary, localized inflation of the object's inertial mass, a phenome…
