Velocity Transformation
In the context of Special Relativity, velocity transformation refers to how the speed of an object appears when observed from different frames of reference, especially when these frames are moving relative to each other. According to Einstein's theory, as an object's speed approaches the speed of light, its observed speed is not simply the sum of its speed plus the observer's speed. Instead, a specific formula (the velocity addition formula) accounts for the effects of time dilation and length contraction, ensuring that no object exceeds the speed of light, which is a fundamental limit in the universe.
