3:34Now PlayingThere's an old paradox about fitting a 6 ft pole in a 5 ft barn, but a 5 ft barn isn't much of a "barn," so we'll call it a "shed." It's called the pole-barn paradox or the ladder paradox and it involves going REALLY fast. However, like all paradoxes, it's just a matter of letting go of assumptions.
