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
In the course of the first two posts of this series we have set up a collision scenario to study the the rod/slot paradox in the Special Theory of Relativity [STR]: A rod falls vertically in a reference frame A … 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
This post series is a about a paradox based on the length contraction effect in Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity [STR]. In the previous first post I have presented a simple version of the so called “rod/slot [RS] paradox“. In … Read More
