Special relativity and the rod/slot paradox – XVI – perception of rod/slot collision in a diagonally moving frame
by on with No Comments

We continue with our analysis of the 2-dimensional rod/slot paradox in Special Relativity. We consider the perception of observers in a reference frame W. This special frame moves diagonally with respect to a setup frame A, which we used to … Read More

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
