English: The upper diagram illustrates a bar and a ring in the rest frame of the ring at the instant that their centers coincide. The bar is Lorentz-contracted and moving upward and to the right while the ring is stationary and uncontracted. The lower diagram illustrates the situation at the same instant, but in the rest frame of the bar. The ring is now Lorentz-contracted and rotated with respect to the bar, and the bar is uncontracted. Again, the ring passes over the bar without touching it.

Diagrama de sus ilustrează o bară și un inel în cadrul de repaus al inelului, în momentul în care centrele lor coincid. Bara este contractată Lorentz și se mișcă în sus și spre dreapta, în timp ce inelul este staționar și necontractat.
