Length contraction seems a bit self-contradictory in the example below: Example: A 125-meter-long train is moving at high speed of = 0.9 on a straight track passing through a garage of length 55 m with doors on both sides. What is the length of the train according to a stationary observer? Can the doors on both sides be shut at one moment to contain the train entirely? According to the passenger on the train, the length of the train is the normal 125 m, but the length of the garage will be smaller by the factor . How does the shutting of the doors seem from the passenger's view? We will address this seeming contradiction using the Lorentz Transformations
