 Hyperbolic motion (relativity)

In the context of relativity, hyperbolic motion refers to a type of motion that an object can experience when moving at relativistic speeds (i.e., speeds comparable to the speed of light). In special relativity, where the effects of time dilation and length contraction become significant, hyperbolic motion is characterized by the relationship between an object's proper time (the time experienced by an observer moving with the object) and its spatial motion through spacetime.
