Massive particle

Index Massive particle

The term massive particle refers to particles which have real non-zero rest mass. [1]

9 relations: Elementary particle, Faster-than-light, Invariant mass, Massless particle, Particle, Real number, Special relativity, Speed of light, Tachyon.

Elementary particle

In particle physics, an elementary particle or fundamental particle is a particle with no substructure, thus not composed of other particles.

Faster-than-light

Faster-than-light (also superluminal or FTL) communication and travel are the conjectural propagation of information or matter faster than the speed of light.

Invariant mass

The invariant mass, rest mass, intrinsic mass, proper mass, or in the case of bound systems simply mass, is the portion of the total mass of an object or system of objects that is independent of the overall motion of the system.

Massless particle

In particle physics, a massless particle is an elementary particle whose invariant mass is zero.

Particle

In the physical sciences, a particle (or corpuscule in older texts) is a small localized object to which can be ascribed several physical or chemical properties such as volume, density or mass.

Real number

In mathematics, a real number is a value of a continuous quantity that can represent a distance along a line.

Special relativity

In physics, special relativity (SR, also known as the special theory of relativity or STR) is the generally accepted and experimentally well-confirmed physical theory regarding the relationship between space and time.

Speed of light

The speed of light in vacuum, commonly denoted, is a universal physical constant important in many areas of physics.

Tachyon

A tachyon or tachyonic particle is a hypothetical particle that always moves faster than light.
