Episode Synopsis

Ever wondered why matter doesn’t actually gain mass as it approaches the speed of light? Dive into the fascinating world of relativistic momentum and discover why modern physics has moved beyond the outdated concept of "relativistic mass." Learn how momentum skyrockets near light speed, why infinite energy is required to reach it, and how phenomena like time dilation and length contraction play a role. Plus, explore mind-bending ideas like bound energy, spacetime curvature, and the possibility of creating a Kugelblitz. This isn’t just science—it’s a journey into the heart of relativity and the universe itself. For advertising opportunities, visit Avonetics.com.
