Re: A paradox?



Sorry, I never learned about the Lenz-Thirring effect, or about the Terrell
effect. I just recall that object cotract relativistically in the direction
of motion by the factor of sqrt(1-v/c). Thus a rapidly moving sphere will
become a flat ellipsoid of revolution in my stationary frame of reference.
