Abstract

The goal of this theory is to investigate and clarify the occurrences that Einstein predicted in the year 1905, stating that a body's mass grows with velocity and rises as it moves at a high speed. In classical physics, it gains energy from motion. This kinetic energy manifests as extra mass in relativity. Theoretically, as the object reaches the speed of light, its mass becomes “infinite”. Despite this, we still know very little about the idea of "infinite mass". In the following paper, I will focus on how and why such phenomena occur.
