Suit yourself.

Understanding quantities is key. For example, we all know your relative mass increases with velocity: that is the principle. Without the quantity, you may not realize it is not significant until you get really fast.

How fast? Moving from zero to 95 million mph gives a relative mass increase of about 1%. So now you think the principle is millions of mph faster is relatively a small impact.

But not so fast, pardon the pun. When your velocity makes your relativistic mass 1 million times your rest mass, an increase of 1 foot per hour in velocity increases your relativistic mass 52%.
You are fond of relativity theory rather than transformer theory.
I already have but that teaches you little. I have a suspicion you learn better when the information comes from within.
Perhaps Meyers Briggs personality test may help.

I was at the moment because that was what I was reading. I made the transformer calcs a while back and moved on to something else I found interesting. I have many interests and they peak and wane like many things depending on my mood, what I am doing, etc.

Perhaps Meyers Briggs personality test may help.
It may help you or it may not. You have to be willing to learn from the results.

I often see you not being real receptive to resources that could help you. Thus my suggestion that you make the effort yourself since you should accept your own counsel.
