nichtrelativistisch
"Nichtrelativistisch" is a German term that translates to "non-relativistic" in English. It refers to a context or a theory that does not adhere to the principles of relativity, particularly those proposed by Albert Einstein in his theory of special and general relativity. In physics, a non-relativistic approach assumes that the speeds involved are much smaller than the speed of light, and that the effects of relativity can be neglected. This is often the case in classical mechanics and in many practical applications where the velocities are not approaching the speed of light.
Non-relativistic theories typically use Newtonian mechanics, which is based on the laws of motion formulated by
However, non-relativistic theories have their limitations. They do not accurately describe phenomena where relativistic effects become
