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 |
| 0.600 | 1.250 | 0.800 |
| 0.700 | 1.400 | 0.714 |
| 0.800 | 1.667 | 0.600 |
| 0.866 | 2.000 | 0.500 |
| 0.900 | 2.294 | 0.436 |

Famous quotes containing the words numerical and/or values:
“There is a genius of a nation, which is not to be found in the numerical citizens, but which characterizes the society.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Our culture is ill-equipped to assert the bourgeois values which would be the salvation of the under-class, because we have lost those values ourselves.”
—Norman Podhoretz (b. 1930)
