🚪 Ladder and Barn Paradox: Length Contraction and Relativity of Simultaneity (2D)
Slide a relativistic ladder through a barn and watch both doors shut around it, then switch to the ladder frame where the barn is the short one. Lorentz transforms, spacetime diagrams in both frames and the critical speed.
