** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
Ever since The Miracle Sudoku, Simon has occasionally opened puzzles live on camera and today is one of those days! What's revealed is one of the most terrifying rulesets you'll ever see (unless you're a decent physicist)! Lorentz factors and their role in Special Relativity play a part in Tobias Brixner's bonkers and brilliant excursion into the theoretical universe. Mad. And. Magnificent.

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Each cage marks a spaceship that is initially at rest in the solver's reference frame, i.e., the grid. Digits may repeat within a spaceship if allowed by other rules. Each spaceship then accelerates to a high velocity and moves in an orthogonal direction without changing its orientation. The solver must find its new position that is fully inside the grid. Spaceships initial/final positions do not overlap with either their own or other spaceships initial/final positions. Neither may spaceships pass through the initial/final positions of other spaceships. As a consequence of the special theory of relativity, each moving spaceship is contracted along its direction of motion, i.e., its shape is scaled down in the solver’s reference frame. The length of the spaceship at rest DIVIDED BY the observed length of the spaceship in motion is called Lorentz factor. The size is unchanged perpendicular to the direction of motion. The energy of a spaceship is given by the sum of its digits. The energy of a spaceship in motion is equal to its energy at rest MULTIPLIED BY the Lorentz factor. Cells connected by an X sum to 10.
