Question
This quantity is raised to the negative fourth power in the definition of Einstein’s gravitational constant. The slope of a 45 degree line on a Minkowski diagram equals this quantity because Minkowski time is scaled by this quantity. The ratio of velocity to this quantity is denoted by beta. By comparing interference patterns, this quantity was found not to depend on the direction of measurement in the Michelson-Morley experiment. The mass-energy equivalence states (read slowly) rest energy equals mass times this quantity squared. For 10 points, name this universal speed limit equal to about three times ten to the eight meters per second. ■END■
