NichtrelativistischenAnsatz

NichtrelativistischenAnsatz refers to a non-relativistic approach in physics. This means that the principles of Albert Einstein's theory of special relativity, which describes the relationship between space and time and accounts for the speed of light as a universal constant, are not considered or are approximated as negligible. In a non-relativistic approach, space and time are treated as independent and absolute. Velocities are assumed to be much smaller than the speed of light, allowing for classical Newtonian mechanics to be a valid description of physical phenomena.

The non-relativistic approach is widely used and highly accurate for a vast range of physical situations. For instance, in the study of everyday objects, planetary motion, or the behavior of atoms at low energies, the effects of relativity are so small that they can be ignored without significant loss of precision. This simplification makes calculations and theoretical models considerably easier to handle than their relativistic counterparts.

However, the non-relativistic approach breaks down when dealing with phenomena involving speeds close to the speed of light, strong gravitational fields, or particles with very high energies. In these regimes, relativistic effects become significant and must be accounted for to accurately describe the observed behavior. The transition from a non-relativistic to a relativistic description typically occurs when the kinetic energy of a particle becomes comparable to its rest mass energy, or when the gravitational potential energy is large compared to the rest mass energy.
