In the famous paradox on the barn and the pole in relativity, bothe the 
observers that is the one sitiing with the barn and the one going with the pole 
are proved to be right by considering the question of simultaneity. The new 
angle to the problem is can some one tell me what happens when the chap sitting 
with the barn decides to capture the moving pole which is longer than the barn. 
this is to say suppose the chap sitting with the barn decides not to open the 
barn gates when the ple is completely in the barn.
