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 |

Famous quotes containing the words numerical and/or values:
“The terrible tabulation of the French statists brings every piece of whim and humor to be reducible also to exact numerical ratios. If one man in twenty thousand, or in thirty thousand, eats shoes, or marries his grandmother, then, in every twenty thousand, or thirty thousand, is found one man who eats shoes, or marries his grandmother.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Our first line of defense in raising children with values is modeling good behavior ourselves. This is critical. How will our kids learn tolerance for others if our hearts are filled with hate? Learn compassion if we are indifferent? Perceive academics as important if soccer practice is a higher priority than homework?”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
