Speed increases mass/weight, which is why punches hurt and nudges don't.
Friction with the air is what slows down a missile, once in space an object free of the earths gravity or the suns gravity will continue to move until it is acted on by another force. No matter how massive it is. Speed only increases mass or weight when you are close to the speed of light.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
