mLine 325:
Line 325: − − === Force Perpendicular to Direction of Motion === − − An object moving at close to the speed of light has an increased mass, and thus a force applied to it would cause less acceleration then if applied to the same body at a lower speed. This paradoxically means that the acceleration caused is different if the force is applied in the direction of travel, or orthogonally to it{{Citation needed|date=December 2011}}.
Removed unsupported anomaly after no response to request for citation and said request having been archived.
The apparent paradox was finally resolved in 1975 by the Norwegian scientist [[Øyvind Grøn]]<ref>http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=224955</ref>.
