Special relativity and the rod/slot paradox – XVII – conditions of the collision scenario as seen in a setup frame for the transit scenario

with No Comments

We continue our analysis of the rod/slot paradox in Special Relativity. So far, we have studied both a collision scenario and a transit scenario for the rod and the slot in two dimensions. Each scenario was consistently described by observers … Read More

Special relativity and the rod/slot paradox – XVI – perception of rod/slot collision in a diagonally moving frame

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

Special relativity and the rod/slot paradox – IX – transit scenario and measurements by an observer co-moving with the rod

with No Comments

In the course of this series on the rod/slot paradox in Special Relativity we now start to analyze a scenario in which a rod moves through a slot. We have called such a scenario a transit scenario. I want to … Read More

Special relativity and the rod/slot paradox – VIII – setup of a transit scenario with the rod moving through the slot

with No Comments

Up to now we have analyzed the “rod / slot paradox” in Special Relativity [SR] via a well defined “collision scenario“. The results of Lorentz Transformations [LT] between various reference frames showed no paradox at all. Instead we got consistent … Read More
