Anderson's novel "Tau Zero" is centered on what scientific concept?
Evolution
Lorentz Factor
Quantum Entanglement
Artificial Intelligence
Answer
The Lorentz Factor, a crucial scientific concept explored in Anderson's novel "Tau Zero," describes the phenomenon where time dilation and length contraction occur as an object approaches the speed of light. This means that as an object moves faster, time passes slower for it relative to a stationary observer, and its length appears shorter in the direction of its motion.
