Abstract: | The problem of energy-momentum in a body with a finite volume has been causing confusion in the theory of relativity, especially
in relativistic thermodynamics. Its correct understanding has been given since the early years of relativity, however, erroneous
misunderstandings are still found in papers and textbooks to this date. The present paper introduces a simple paradox to demonstrate
the problem, and gives a brief review on a way to handle the energy-momentum correctly. |
