Your Daily Equation | Episode 06: Relativistic Mass

Episode 06 #YourDailyEquation: Why is the speed of light the fastest possible speed? In this episode, Brian tells a simple story--involving medieval jousters--to motivate the relativistic mass equation, and then uses that equation to explain the speed limit set by light.
