In the purpose of understanding the compatibility of Lorentz transformation with the axioms of the affine space, a thought experiment is proposed and then mathematically analyzed to emphasize a new mathematical problem.
Dans le but de comprendre la compatibilité de la transformation de Lorentz avec les axiomes de l’espace affine, une expérience de pensée est proposée et puis mathématiquement analysée afin de mettre en évidence un nouveau problème mathématique.
Key words: Lorentz Transformation; Thought Experiment; Macroscopic Scale; Retracting Tape Measure; Axioms of The Affine Space; Length Contraction; Relative Velocity.
