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

In the 2nd post of this series about a variant of the rod/slot paradox in Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity [STR] we defined a collision scenario between a vertically moving rod and a horizontally moving slot in a special reference … Read More
