To see why no one noticed time dilation until the twentieth century, consider the time dilation of a clock in an automobile moving past you at 30m / s (about 67mph for reference). What happens when you try to compute gamma for this problem? Write out the steps you take.

When we try to compute gamma, for this problem, the value of gamma is 1

To answer the question, we need to know what time dilation is.

What is time dilation?

Time dilation is a phenomenon in special relativity in which there is an elongation of time due to the motion of an object.

Now, the time is given by t = γt₀ where

  • γ = gamma = 1/√[1 - (v/c)²] where
  • v = speed of object  
  • c = speed of light and
  • t₀ = proper time

The value of gamma

Since we need to compute gamma when the speed of the automobile moving past you is 30 m/s.

Given that

  • v = 30 m/s and
  • c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

Substiting these into γ, we have

γ = 1/√[1 - (v/c)²]

γ = 1/√[1 - (30 m/s/3 × 10⁸ m/s)²]

γ = 1/√[1 - (1/1 × 10⁷)²]

γ = 1/√[1 - (1 × 10⁻⁷)²]

γ = 1/√[1 - (1 × 10⁻¹⁴)]

γ = 1/√[1 - 0.00000000000001]

γ = 1/√0.99999999999999

γ = 1/1

γ = 1

So, when we try to compute gamma, the value of gamma is 1
