Since v is close to c and
The direction of the inequality does not change because v and c are the speed of the velocity of the particle and the velocity of light, respectively. The magnitude of a vector is always a positive number.
(multiplying both sides by -1)
the denominator is a small and positive number.
The numerator is a positive number
The division is then a huge positive number.
