Numerical Values
In the chart below, the left-hand column shows speeds as different fractions of the speed of light (i.e. in units of c). The middle column shows the corresponding Lorentz factor, the final is the reciprocal.
| Speed (units of c) | Lorentz factor | Reciprocal |
|---|---|---|
| 0.000 | 1.000 | 1.000 |
| 0.100 | 1.005 | 0.995 |
| 0.200 | 1.021 | 0.980 |
| 0.300 | 1.048 | 0.954 |
| 0.400 | 1.091 | 0.917 |
| 0.500 | 1.155 | 0.866 |

Famous quotes containing the words numerical and/or values:
“The moment a mere numerical superiority by either states or voters in this country proceeds to ignore the needs and desires of the minority, and for their own selfish purpose or advancement, hamper or oppress that minority, or debar them in any way from equal privileges and equal rights—that moment will mark the failure of our constitutional system.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“Culture is the name for what people are interested in, their thoughts, their models, the books they read and the speeches they hear, their table-talk, gossip, controversies, historical sense and scientific training, the values they appreciate, the quality of life they admire. All communities have a culture. It is the climate of their civilization.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
