Lorentz factor

For a relative speed $0\le v<c$, the Lorentz factor is

At $v=0.6c$, $\gamma =1/\sqrt{1-0.36}=1/0.8=1.25$. Thus a moving clock accumulates $0.8$ seconds of proper time per laboratory second, and a parallel moving rod has $0.8$ times its rest length. The Lorentz factor approaches one at small speed and grows without bound as $v$ approaches the speed of light; a massive object's rest frame never requires a boost at $v=c$.
