What Are The Twin Paradox And The Garage Paradox?
Everyone knows Special Relativity is hard to understand.
But…why?
Well, that’s because the universe is hard!
Even though it is hard to understand, people LOVE special relativity! I mean, at least at the most superficial level…
So let’s try to understand more of special relativity today: I will try to explain to you the Twin Paradox and the Garage Paradox, using some of the ideas that lie at the core of the theory of Special Relativity!
Then let’s talk about THE GARAGE PARADOX!
To explain the garage paradox, we have to introduce first the well-known concept of Length contraction:
“The length of any object in a moving frame will appear foreshortened in the direction of motion or contracted. The amount of contraction can be calculated from the Lorentz transformation. The length is maximum in the frame in which the object is at rest.”
