A New Perspective on the Einstein’s Kinetic Energy

31 March 2025, Version 1
This content is an early or alternative research output and has not been peer-reviewed by Cambridge University Press at the time of posting.

Abstract

Albert Einstein found that the relativistic mass-energy equation of an object with non-zero mass, where the velocity of the object approaches the speed of light with zero mass, is equal to the sum of kinetic energy and rest-mass energy of the object. But the author of this article finds that the Einstein’s kinetic energy is not consistent with its related definition and fundamental equation in the domain of mechanics.
