Re: Another look at the Lorentz factor.

The Lorentz factor is usually given by the equation:

gamma = 1/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)

or by

beta = v/c
gamma = 1/sqrt(1-beta^2)

The equation can be written in a more intuitive (for me at least) way
as shown below:

gamma = c / sqrt(c^2 - v^2)

Excellent - you can do algebra. More than can be said for a fair bit of
folks here, though.

Now why are you doing this?
