I was really impressed with the above paragraph.
Gamma is the greek letter that stands for the Lorentz factor in special relativity. See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_relativity and locate "Lorentz factor". gamma = (1-v^2/c^2)^(-1/2)
I'm wondering about this gamma is? Is there some way to manage this Gamma?
The bigger the relative speed, the bigger the gamma. In this case the closer the orbital to the nucleus, the bigger the gamma.
