## Overview

γ = 1/√(1−v²/c²) with 1/γ, βγ, and √(1−β²) for any subluminal speed — the single number behind all of special relativity.

## Inputs

- **Speed input** (select)
- **β (v/c)** (number): e.g. 0.99
- **Speed v (m/s)** (number): e.g. 2.97e8

## When to use

- Use it when you need to process numeric data content quickly in the browser.
- Helpful for science & education workflows that need repeatable inputs and fast results.
- Useful when you want to test input and output behavior before integrating the workflow elsewhere.

## How it works

- Provide Speed input, β (v/c), Speed v (m/s) as input to the tool.
- The tool processes the request and returns a text result.
- For repeatable workflows, use the API endpoint shown on the page after validating the result interactively.

## Use cases

- Process numeric data data during debugging or QA.
- Validate expected output before using the API or automation flows.
- Compare small variations of input to understand output differences quickly.
