Lorentz Factor Formula - Google Search

The Lorentz factor, denoted by γ, is a quantity that expresses how measurements of time, length, and other physical properties change for an object moving at a velocity v relative to an observer. It is calculated as γ = 1/√(1-(v/c)2), where v is the object's velocity and c is the speed of light. The Lorentz factor is always greater than 1 and increases without limit as the object's velocity approaches the speed of light. It is used to relate measurements between relatively moving frames of reference in Einstein's theory of special relativity.
