Go fast, Gain weight
An idea by Albert Einstein
All of you are familiar
with Albert Einstein’s famous equation E=mc2. According to this mass
and energy are equivalent, meaning that as you add energy to a moving object
(i.e., increase speed) then that object’s mass increases. At normal speeds,
this mass gain is pretty negligible. But as you approach the speed of light,
mass begins to increase dramatically. In case you are wondering why sprinters,
cars and aero planes don’t get heavier because of this, don’t worry – the
increase in mass as a result of increased speed is only temporary.
