Abstract

This document explores a new paradox in special relativity with a thought experiment. The experiment involves a spaceship traveling towards a planet 10 light years away, with both sending light signals simultaneously. Minkowski spacetime diagrams illustrate the situation. The meeting point of the light signals appears to differ, based on the observer's frame of reference, leading to a paradox.
