minus-squareTechnuslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·6 months agoWhere does that expansion come from? As far as I can tell, m0v^(2)/2 only gives you the kinetic energy of the object where v << c, in which case the difference between relativistic mass and rest mass is negligible? And where does the O(v^4) term come from?
