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

In this post series we now look a bit deeper into the rod/slot paradox of Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity. We now want to compare our “collision scenario” and “transit scenario” directly and point out a major qualitative difference. This … Read More
