   After discussion between the sci.physics.research moderators,   
   we have unanimously decided to close this discussion thread   
   ("Can the 2 ends of a ruler move in opposite direction?")   
   because a correct and very clear explanation of the apparent   
   paradox has already been posted (by Rich Livingston in message   
   <92d3a166-6f3b-49e0-9cf3-a48699551962@googlegroups.com>, dated 2019-Sept-07).   
   and because further discussion does not seem to be bringing out   
   any new insights.   
      
   If anyone has new points to raise, please start a new discussion thread   
   (possibly quoting articles from this thread if they're relevant).
