Sponsored by Swinburne Astronomy Online at http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/sao/ Join +Fraser Cain and +Pamela Gay for a live episode of Astronomy Cast. We'll record our 30-minute show, and then stick around to answer your questions about space and astronomy. Astronomy Cast Ep. 370: Kaufmann–Bucherer–Neumann Experiments One of the most amazing implications of Einstein's relativity is the fact that the inertial mass of an object depends on its velocity. That sounds like a difficult thing to test, but that's exactly what happened through a series of experiments performed by Kaufmann, Bucherer, Neumann and others.

my first time watching ,,and you all look older than you sound to me . I'm 50 plus and you sound like i wish i was 30 years ago . keep at it you're doing a great job.

Your curved path around a body is caused by acceleration due to gravity, which is constant regardless of the mass of objects moving through a gravity field. So Fraser and Pamela should have identical paths, given identical starting positions and velocities, if they were to slingshot around a black hole or other gravity source.

+Fraser Cain The Wu experiment which proved violation of parity conservation also feeds into another recent theme. It was performed by Wu and two of her male colleagues. Anyone care to guess who missed out on the Nobel?
