They mean "speeds where the effects of special relativity become relevant". And you know this.

>> No.11245981

>>11245972
They are relevant at all speeds, idiot.

>>11245981
So you think a time dilation of 10^-15 is relevant for practical purposes

>my face when I drive past people who haven't factored relativity into their automobile trip, what fools, how I pity them

No, it means any speed that is 1% the speed of c or faster.

>> No.11246133

>>11246097
Citation? I've never seen the expression defined for a specific speed. Or is that your personal definition?

>> No.11246149

>relativistic speeds
These are velocities whose magnitudes exceed about 1% of the speed of light.

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes
