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 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)
“We must be physicists in order ... to be creative since so far codes of values and ideals have been constructed in ignorance of physics or even in contradiction to physics.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
