Car, wheels and Lorentz contraction of the road: Is this a Paradox?

[Sagittarius A-Star]

New Perspectives on the Relativistically Rotating Disk and Non-time-orthogonal Reference Frames Robert D. Klauber

The following paper contains a critical review of R. Klauber's personal theory:

In contrast to this, Klauber(61) claimed that the length of the rim must be measured along a closed curve in spacetime. We have shown that such a measurement would not be in agreement with relativity. Klauber(61) measures
lengths on the rotating disk as invariant space-time intervals not along lines of isotropic simultaneity (“non-timeorthogonal”), but along lines of constant global time, i.e. in our notation along dT = 0, where the synchronization is
defined as in Sec. 5.7 with A = v. This leads directly to the absence of Lorentz contraction in the case of the rotating
disk. It is clear that neither the concept nor the consequence is compatible with SR, and indeed the theory is meant
as a testable alternative to relativity, which moves the subject outside the scope of this paper.

Note, however, that this paper is also not published in a reputable journal. That in itself is not terribly surprising since Klauber's paper is so obscure that most professional journals would not consider it something that even needs to be rebutted.
