Abstract

The train in tunnel paradox has always been a topic of debate in the scientific community, in order to allow readers to better understand its basic principles, and it needed to combine the basic knowledge of the theory of relativity to outline the train tunnel paradox. Taking Einstein's special theory of relativity as the starting point of the argument, this paper elaborates on Einstein's theory of relativity, focuses on the simultaneous relativity and the theory of physical motion shape change in the special theory of relativity, and clarifies the famous train in tunnel paradox. Based on the results of different reference systems, the author analyzes the paradox principle of trains and tunnels. Through the analysis, it can be seen that the special theory of relativity is meaningful in real life, and the learners should pay attention to the cultivation of their own logical reasoning ability when learning, and emphasize the understanding of the spirit of scientific criticism, so as to improve the learning effect of the special theory of relativity.
