According to the Theory of Relativity, and as represented by the equation below, the mass of a particle changes with its velocity. When is the rational expression of the equation undefined? (Hint: Think of the fraction in the denominator as a single variable.) $m ^ { 2 } = \frac { m _ { 0 } ^ { 2 } } { 1 - \frac { v ^ { 2 } } { c ^ { 2 } } } , m _ { 0 } =$ rest mass, v = velocity, c = speed of light
