Abstract:
This paper, via the application of the Special Theory of Relativity, provides a
physical and mathematical solution to (i) the value of the velocity of light, (ii) the
contraction of the length of a rod in motion in the direction of its length with a
relativistic velocity, and (iii) the Ehrenfest Paradox concerning the contraction of the
circumference of the perimeter of a spinning disc.
