We continue our analysis of the so called “rod/slot paradox” in the Special Theory of Relativity. In this post we want to directly compare two important scenarios for possible rod/slot encounters – namely a collision scenario and a transit scenario … Read More

We are on a good way to resolve one of the length contraction paradoxes in Special Relativity – the rod-slot paradox – with the help of some rather simple considerations and some simple math. We have already found a consistent … Read More
