Re: a paradox?



If the volume of a cube shrinks then the density increases. This is
real. The same with the v/c effect on the transverse component of E.
The relativistic term was added to the classical dE/dx formula by
H. Bethe and the theory agrees with experiments at all energies.
This is real. Illusions have nothing to with this. Do you agree?

The latter is true. Please tell us, Ludwik, what is a physical
consequence of the density of the cube being greater? For example,
will it now sink in a liquid in which it formerly floated? So far
as I can see the increase in density is physically inconsequential.
