| | #The theory of relativity has discontinuities whereby the limit of a physical quantity as a variable (such as mass or velocity) approaches a fixed value, but it is not the same as the physical quantity at that fixed value. For example, the limit of momentum as mass approaches 0 and velocity approaches the speed of light is not equal to the momentum of (massless) light. | | #The theory of relativity has discontinuities whereby the limit of a physical quantity as a variable (such as mass or velocity) approaches a fixed value, but it is not the same as the physical quantity at that fixed value.
