Question: What is the Lorentz factor and how does it affect time for a spaceship moving at 0.8c? Answer: The Lorentz factor, γ = 1/√(1 - v²/c²), quantifies relativistic effects. At v = 0.8c, γ ≈ 1.67, so time on the spaceship passes 1.67 times slower than for a stationary observer. https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaEF4IL7DAWtD6Na5Y3E
