The Mass Variability Equation of Special Relativity

The mass variability equation can be written as M=Moc/[square root (c squared-v squared)]. The equation can be shortened to M=gamma Mo M = total mass Mo= rest mass c = speed of light v = speed of object/particle The equation is out of favour with many members of the physics establishment one reason being that it is asssumed that mass remains constant. This might seem to be the case for particles but it is not so for fuel carrying vehicles where some energy of the fuel can be converted to,for example,kinetic energy. In such a case the mass of the vehicle gets smaller as fuel is burnt. Also, it is a bit shortsighted to assume that the equation has no relevance to particles. Firstly there is no good reason,either theoretically or experimentally, to assume that all particles have a constant mass in all systems, events and environments. Secondly, even if there are particles which do have a constant mass the equation can be very useful when it is realised that M-Mo is equal to the kinetic energy of the particle expressed in mass units. Those physicists who prefer not to use the equation are missing out .They are ignoring an equation which can be useful and which when combined with other areas of knowledge can lead to new insights. As an example of this please scroll down to " Antimatter and the catch 22 of physics". If you bother to read it try to keep an open mind. Thank you
