And after the thought experiment is over and the car slows down so it's in the same frame of reference as the garage there is no evidence of any paradox having occurred, there would be one if one observed the car making a big hole in the back door and the other did not, but nobody observed such a thing. * *> Why is this so hard to understand?* *Because it's very hard to understand something if it's not true. I think I'll repeat what I said before:* *"Either Einstein was wrong in 1905 and all professional physicists for the last 120 years have been wrong in accepting Einstein's argument, or you Alan Grayson are correct and have found a flaw that nobody in the last 120 years had noticed before.
