A constructive approach to the special theory of relativity

Miller, D. J.

Original · EN

Simple physical models of a measuring rod and of a clock are used to demonstrate the contraction of objects and clock retardation in special relativity. It is argued that the models could help in promoting student understanding of special relativity and in distinguishing between dynamical and purely perspectival effects.
