A variation of the clock paradox and a distinguishing feature of an inertial frame
Chandru Iyer, G. M. Prabhu
The clock paradox is analyzed for the case when the onward and return trips cover the same <<distance>> (as observed by the traveling twin) but at unequal velocities. In this case…
Differing perceptions on the landing of the rod into the slot
Chandru Iyer, G. M. Prabhu
In the usual rod and slot paradox, the rod, if it falls, was expected to fall into the slot due to gravity. Many thought experiments have been conducted where the presence of gravi…
Reversal in time order of interactive events: Collision of inclined rods
Chandru Iyer, G. M. Prabhu
In the rod and hole paradox as described by Rindler (1961 Am. J. Phys. 29 365-6), a rigid rod moves at high speed over a table towards a hole of the same size. Observations from th…
Ordered addition of two Lorentz boosts through spatial and space-time rotations
Chandru Iyer, G. M. Prabhu
The ordered addition of two Lorentz boosts is normally shown to result in a boost by utilizing concepts from group theory and non-Euclidian geometry. We present a method for achiev…
