Special relativity and the rod/slot paradox – XI – Lorentz Transformation between slot and rod for the transit scenario
by on with No Comments

In our post series about the rod/slot “paradox” in Special Relativity we presently study a “transit scenario”. In this scenario the rod passes the slot unharmed due to a clever combination of initial conditions in a setup frame Z. We … Read More

Special relativity and the rod/slot paradox – VII – no paradox for a collision scenario and consistency between all relevant LTs

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
