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

I continue my post series on the 2-dimensional rod/slot paradox in Special Relativity. In this post we perform a Lorentz Transformation of the rod from a frame A, which we previously used to describe a collision scenario, to a diagonally … Read More
