Relativistic Energy

Relativistic energy is the energy of an object when its speed approaches the speed of light. According to Einstein's theory of special relativity, as an object's velocity increases, its energy also increases dramatically due to its mass effectively becoming greater. This means that to continue accelerating an object as it gets faster, more energy is required than at lower speeds. The famous equation \(E=mc^2\) illustrates that mass can be converted into energy and vice versa, highlighting the deep connection between mass and energy in the universe.
