On the Bell's spaceships paradox and proper length for accelerated bodies
arXiv:1808.03989 · doi:10.1139/cjp-2018-0536
Abstract
We study the Dewan-Beran-Bell thought experiment of two spaceships connected by a thread that start accelerated motion and discuss the proper length of the thread by means of Born's definition of proper length for arbitrary motion.
