- Abstract:
- Abstract: The approach to the treatment of mass in relativistic mechanics advocated in the article by Keith Atkin in the January 2015 issue of Physics Education (2015 Phys. Educ . 50 46 ) conflicts with the viewpoint promoted of many eminent physicists for over half a century. This comment attempts to explain some of the ideas behind the latter approach and to illustrate how it helps to simplify the teaching and learning of the topic.
