We are on a good way to resolve one of the length contraction paradoxes in Special Relativity – the rod-slot paradox – with rather simple considerations. We have already found a consistent description of a collision scenario by observers in … Read More

In this post series on the rod/slot paradox in the Special Theory of Relativity we have shown that a collision setup in a special reference frame A leads to a consistent collision description also in an inertial frame B co-moving … Read More
