Special relativity and the rod/slot paradox – IV – consequences of an inclination angle in the slot’s frame

with No Comments

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

In 2nd post of this series about a variant of the rod/slot paradox in Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity [STR] we have in detail defined a scenario leading to a collision between a vertically moving rod and a horizontally moving … Read More

Special relativity and the rod/slot paradox – II – setup of a collision scenario

This post series is a about a paradox based on the length contraction effect in Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity [STR]. In the previous first post I have presented a simple version of the so called “rod/slot [RS] paradox“. In … Read More
