In the preceding two posts we have derived x– and y-coordinates of the rod’s and the slot’s ends in a new frame W. W‘s origin moves in a diagonal direction vs. the origin of our setup frame A, which we … Read More

I continue my post series on the 2-dimensional rod/slot paradox in Special Relativity. In this post we perform a Lorentz Transformation of the rod from a frame A, which we previously used to describe a collision scenario, to a diagonally … Read More

My post series about the 2-dimensional rod/slot paradox turns into its last phase. We have learned that there is no paradox regarding two distinct scenarios – defined by different initial conditions: You find consistent descriptions of both scenarios in different … Read More
