Quentin doesn't believe I did. What do you say? AG More important is this: if fitting and not fitting do not happen at the same time, They do happen at the same time as clearly shown on my diagrams. In the garage frame the entrance door closes before the exit door has to open. The car is in the garage for about 2.5 nano-seconds. In the car frame the doors are open at the same time so the car extends thru both. Brent *Interesting. Then why does Clark say the paradox exists if the fitting occurs simultaneously in both frames, and from that I inferred that the simultaneity arguments shows they don't and that's the resolution?
