Abstract

In his (1924; 1969), Hans Reichenbach discussed the status of a twodimensional spatial geometry on a disk rotating with respect to an inertial frame in the Minkowski space time of the special theory of relativity ("STR"). Since then, the literature on this topic has grown very considerably.¹
