186,000 miles/sec
• At this speed you would make 7.5 trips around the earth in
one second!
1) Time Dilation:
Time slows down for a traveler the faster you go.
2) Length Contraction:
A traveler moving near the speed
of light holds a meter stick. A
stationary observer will see the
traveler’s meter stick to be less
than 1 meter long.
2) Increased mass:
As a traveler moves faster
And faster, the mass of the
traveler increases.
2) “The speed of light in empty space will always have the same
value regardless of the motion of the source or the motion of the
observer”
