Invariant and Relativistic Mass
Mass is composed of 2 types. The first type is 'invariant mass', also known as 'rest mass' and the second type is 'relativistic mass'. Invariant mass is usually represented by the symbol m0, and relativistic mass is usually represented by the symbol mr. Invariant mass is independent of the observer's frame of reference, while the relativistic mass depends on the observer's frame of reference. This is because invariant mass does not consider the velocity of the object, while relativistic mass does take into consideration the velocity of the object. Simply put, it is argued that a body at rest appears to have the same mass to an observer from any frame of reference, but a moving body appears to have different masses to an observer depending on frame of reference. When an object is not moving then the relativistic mass equals the invariant mass. Once the object begins to move then the relativistic mass will grow larger as the velocity of the object increases. If the velocity of the object should reach the speed of light then the relativistic mass of the object will become infinite. The Lorentz factor is the equation used to relate invariant mass to relativistic mass. The Lorents factor assumes that the invariant mass is the minimum mass of the object, since invariant mass is the mass of an oject when it is at rest. This reasoning allows the Lorentz factor to assign mass a range from m0 to infinity. In terms of Aatucagg, both invariant and relativistic mass are spacial masses. Aatucagg believes that it is possible for an object lose and gain mass even when the oject is at rest due to the warping of space. In terms of Aatucagg, spacial mass converts to temporal mass due to the warping of space. Therefore, Aatucagg would extend the Lorentz factor to consider the fluctuation of invariant mass due to the warping of space, allowing for mass to have a range from 0 to infinity. This extended Lorentz factor employs what is known as the 'Aatucagg factor'. To arrive at the Aatucagg factor one must consider that force is equal to universal gravity multiplied by 2 masses and the distance squared between them. The variable in such an equation is the distance between the 2 masses, but since Aatucagg believes that spacial mass becomes temporal mass as a function of the distance between the 2 masses, then the mass of the moving body becomes a variable as well. This relationship can be expressed as the distance times the mass equals the rest distance times the rest mass, so that, mass equals the rest distance times the rest mass divided by the distance. Multiplying the Aatucagg factor by the Lorentz factor yields a results that takes into account the warping of space. Since time is affected by the rotation of mass, then the Aatucagg factor can also be used with the time dilation equation.
