Another Physics Misconception

The video explains the concept of momentum, traditionally defined as mass times velocity, and its limitations when objects move close to the speed of light. It introduces the relativistic momentum equation, which accounts for these high speeds, and explains how classical physics views momentum as mass times velocity. The video also discusses the historical context of these concepts, highlighting the shift in understanding since 1905.

What was the understanding of momentum before 1905, and how has it changed?
