Find it! (My suggestion: How to identify a "measuring rod", and how to compare separated "measuring rods" with each other? (PSE/q/146693).)
Nov 14, 2014 at 0:54 comment added user4552 This is related to the Ehrenfest paradox en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ehrenfest_paradox , and the paper by Einstein alluded to in the question is "The foundation of the general theory of relativity," A. Einstein, Annalen der Physik 49 (1916) 769. This issue is discussed in section 3 of the paper, and I've reproduced a translation at the end of this book: lightandmatter.com/genrel

Nov 13, 2014 at 22:20 comment added Rok Yeah, I've seen this one, but unfortunately it didn't dispel my confusion - I was still baffled by Einstein's (and others') claim that space is approximately hyperbolic in the co-rotating frame.
Nov 13, 2014 at 20:33 comment added user12262 Related, and in some sense even a better question: "Understanding the "$\pi$" of a rotating disk" (PSE/q/121889).
