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

Let us look deeper into the rod/slot paradox of Special Relativity. We know already that one can set up very different scenarios of the rod/slot encounter in two dimensions. The easiest way to do so is to use different reference … Read More
