Physics 62 Special Relativity (32 of 43) The Lorentz Factor Close-Up

In this video I will explain what is the Lorentz factor.

Next video in the Special Relativity series can be seen at:

I love your videos. You break down complicated subjects into something that is easy to understand. Thanks!

ß=v/c but what is v ? c=3x10^8 m/c but v=? please help me because ı can't solve many question because of this problem..

We hope you will add an Arabic translation, thank you

As observações graficas das "diferentes distancias" percorridas pela luz, em diferentes referenciais e deduzidas nas transformações de Lorentz, não fazem sentido por si só, uma vez q os trajetos de luz observados, são componentes de feixes diferentes, "como" se a luz, análoga ao triangulo de potências, tivesse componentes ativa e reativa.

Lorentz may be wrong. He is measuring the impedance loss of the system. It is similar to the apparent reduction in size of a person who is standing a long distance away. Artists use perspective in their drawings and paintings. The number you are calculating is the same as finding Pi through the Archimedes method.
