How can the Lorentz factor $\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}$ be understood? what does that mean? - for example, what is the reason for the second power/roots?, why not $\frac{1}{1-\frac{v}{c}}$? or what would happen if that would be the case. Can you point me other physic laws that make use of the $\sqrt{1-r^2}$ so to "translate" it.

Let $T_0$ be the local period and $L_0$ the local length

1. Light-clock moves $\bot$ light $\rightarrow$ $T=\frac{T_0}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}$
2. Light-clock moves $\parallel$ light $\rightarrow$ $T=\frac{2L}{c(1-\frac{v^2}{c^2})}$

Q: How could I understand the Lorentz factor formula intuitively or what is your concept of it?

How can the Lorentz factor $\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}$ be understood? What does that mean? For example, what is the reason for the second power and square root? Why not $\frac{1}{1-\frac{v}{c}}$, or what would happen if it took that form?. Can you point me to other physical laws that make use of the $\sqrt{1-r^2}$ so as to "translate" it.

2. Light-clock moves $\parallel$ light $\rightarrow$ $T=\frac{2L}{c\left(1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}\right)}$
