>>> Bell's paradox and that wikipedia link talk about a physical object connected between two accelerating objects. They talk about the length contraction of that connecting object and relativistic stress, etc.
>>>     In the problem I posted, there are just two accelerating objects, with nothing connecting them.  Using the coordinates in one inertial reference frame F0, the two objects crash into each other during the time in the problem. In the other inertial reference frame F1, the two objects always remain a fixed distance apart. The never crash. Both views cannot be correct.

We've been down that rabbit warren before. It takes a lot of effort, and 
endless patience, and all you ever do is come back with another mistaken 
analysis.

Anyone who doubts this need only look at the Google Groups archive.
