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 gravity is eliminated with the rod and slot approaching each other along a line joining their centers, whereby the considerations come strictly under Special Relativity. In these experiments the line of motion is not parallel to either the axis of the rod or the slot. In this paper we consider in detail the two cases when the rod does fall into the slot and when the rod does not fall into the slot, each from the perspective of the co-moving frames of the rod and the slot. We show that whether the rod falls into the slot as determined by Galilean kinematics is also valid under relativistic kinematics; this determination does not depend upon the magnitude of the velocity, but only on the proper lengths and the proper angles of the rod and slot with the line of motion. Our conclusion emphasizes the fact that the passing (or crashing) of the rod as a wholesome event is unaffected by relativistic kinematics. We also provide a simple formula to determine whether or not the rod passes through the slot.
Baryon and lepton numbers are conserved. Why? Baryon number must be because baryons are subject to strong interactions, leptons are not. Conservation of baryons leads to that of leptons. This raises further questions which are noted.
Einstein-Podolsky-Rosens paper in 1935 is discussed in parallel with an EPR experiment on $K^0bar{K}^0$ system in 1998, yielding a strong hint of distinction in both wave-function and operators between particle and antiparticle at the level of quantu
Using standard cosmological model we show that the cores of ultra-compact radio sources observed with ground-based Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) on the angular scales of milliarcseconds cannot be used as a reasonable standard unit of linea
We make an estimation of the mass of the universe by considering the behavior of a very special test particle when described both by using the Newtonian mechanics as well through a scalar field theory of the Yukawa kind. Naturally, Hubbles law is also taken in account.
The neutrino oscillations probabilities depend on mass squared differences; in the case of 3-neutrino mixing, there are two independent differences, which have been measured experimentally. In order to calculate the absolute masses of neutrinos, we h
