Hello

you were perfectly right and his argument is completely false. The tsiolkovsky equation does exist in relativity, it is slightly more complicated, but the phenomenon is the same. What happens is, though the momentum is always E/c as stated, E is no longer the same since in the earth frame (say we started on earth), the doppler effect creates a photon which has a lower frequency, (and less photons) and thus a lower energy. That article is way too much a personnal page as far as I read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_rocket Klinfran (talk) 23:15, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
