The Einstein’s Kinetic Energy: Is it valid?

14 April 2025, Version 2
Working Paper
This content is an early or alternative research output and has not been peer-reviewed by Cambridge University Press at the time of posting.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 mass-energy equivalence of a body whose velocity approaches the speed of light, 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 valid.
