Up to now we have analyzed the “rod / slot paradox” in Special Relativity [SR] via a well defined “collision scenario”. The results of Lorentz Transformations [LT] between various reference frames showed no paradox at all. Instead we got consistent … Read More
In the previous posts of this series I have shown that the so called “rod/slot paradox” may disappear for a well defined collision scenario. We have taken the perspectives of observers in different reference frames and applied the Lorentz Transformation … Read More
We are on a good way to resolve one of the length contraction paradoxes in Special Relativity – the rod-slot paradox – with rather simple considerations. We have already found a consistent description of a collision scenario by observers in … Read More
In this post series on the rod/slot paradox in the Special Theory of Relativity we have shown that a collision setup in a special reference frame A leads to a consistent collision description also in an inertial frame B co-moving … Read More
In the first posts of this series we have set up a collision scenario to study the the rod/slot paradox in the Special Theory of Relativity [STR]: A rod falls vertically in a reference frame A and eventually meets a … Read More
