  1. relativistic

    Relativistic refers to anything related to the theory of relativity, particularly Einstein's theories of special and general relativity. These theories are based on the principle that the laws of physics are invariant (i.e., do not change) in all inertial systems. In more complex terms, relativistic often refers to situations where velocities are approaching the speed of light, leading to noticeable changes in measurements of space and time compared to classical physics.

Examples of Relativistic in a Sentence

  1. John Foster:

    Interplanetary shocks, traveling toward Earth from the Sun, have been observed and studied before, what is of major interest in the event reported are the direct observations of the effects of the shock on Earth’s Van Allen radiation belts with sufficient detail to reveal the processes taking place. Although the main strength of the solar shock is deflected by the magnetic shield that surrounds our planet, a brief pulse of energy penetrates closer to Earth where it accelerates radiation belt electrons to ultra-relativistic energies in less than a minute.
