Special Relativity

The theory of special relativity discusses how space and time are related to objects traveling along a straight line at a constant speed. Simply stated, as an object reaches the speed of light, its mass becomes infinite and it is unable to move faster than light. This interstellar speed limit has been the topic of much debate in astronomy, and also in science fiction when people consider how to fly over large distances.

The first unmanned probe called ”Albert Einstein’s cousin” will reach the stellar system of theAlfa Centauri (estimated radius 5x104km) in year 2145.

In order to power itself the probe will convert all of the radiation energyreceived from the star by its hemispherical antenna (radius=10m). It is estimated that whenoriented at a right angle with respect to the incoming radiation, the antenna will collect total powerof 3x105W.

A gamma ray burst delivers approximately 1.0 X10-6 joules/m2 to a detector on an orbiting space telescope. Assuming that the red shift indicates that the source is 5 X109 light years away (1 yr =3.16X107 seconds) and that the energy at the detector has been corrected for the redshift, what is the energy output of the source and how does it compare to the rest energy of the Sun. The speed of light is 3.0 X 108 m/sec. A year is 3.16 X 107 sec. The mass of the Sun is 2 X 1030 kg. Rest mass energy is E=mc2. The surface area of a sphere is 4πr2.
