Source sentences:
text: As with the Lorentz contraction, effects are negligible for small velocities, increase asymptotically as velocity approaches the speed of light.
text: Again, these effects are negligible at the kinds of gravitational differences experienced in everyday life: even though, technically, a person living in a ground floor apartment ages slower than their twin who lives in a top floor apartment of the same building (due to the difference in gravity they experience), the effect might amount to maybe a microsecond over a full lifetime.
text: Today, special relativity is proven to be the most accurate model of motion at any speed when gravitational effects are negligible.
