Answer:
When analyzing a moving body with respect to a moving observer we can use the Galilean or Lorentz transformations. As we approach the speed of light we know the Lorentz transformation gives the correct results. At low speeds they are "supposed" to be the same, but they do not converge to exactly the same result. There is a slight discrepancy between the two. The question is: what is the physical intuition behind this difference and what is it telling us?
