Relativistic Energy and Momentum

According to classical physics, time flow is the same for every observer. But according to einstein's theory, time flow is different for different observers. The idea that time flow is not the same for all may sound strange because we may not experience this effect in everyday life. This effect is only observed when an object moves with some velocity comparable to the velocity of light. This velocity is termed relativistic velocity.

Flying Circus of Physics Kiting during a storm. The legend that Benjamin Franklin flew a kite as a storm approached is only a legend – he was neither stupid nor suicidal. Suppose a kite string of radius 2.07 mm extends directly upward by 0.809 km and is coated with a 0.514 mm layer of water having resistivity 177 Q-m. If the potential difference between the two ends of the string is 190 MV, what is the current through the water layer? The danger is not this current but the chance that the string draws a lightning strike, which can have a current as large as 500 000 A (way beyond just being lethal). Number i Units
The resistance of the body varies from approximately 500 kΩkΩ (when it is very dry) to about 1.0 kΩkΩ (when it is wet). The maximum safe current is about 5.3 mAmA. At 10 mAmA or above, muscle contractions can occur that may be fatal. What is the largest potential difference that a person can safely touch if his body is wet?
