10 Measuring-Rods and Clocks in Motion

frame o , in which the Maxwellian equations, on which his calculations were based,
were valid. The question exactly what the Maxwellian equations for a moving reference system (against o ) looked like and how we can undertake measurements from
such a reference system were in 1904 just as unanswered as our question: Which
equation does the internal observer moving with respect to the crystal, in other words
the observer in a reference system
, find for the phenomena inside of a crystal,
for which we found the sine-Gordon equation in the preferred frame o ? We will
answer this question in Chap. 15.
Before we continue with our line of thought, we will discuss a paradox that
becomes visible by the present results of our discussions.
