"The Right Angle Lever Paradox" ...

Actually, the solution to resolve this paradox is ridiculously simple.
If the lever is not rotating in the rest frame, the forces acting on
each level must be identical (only one shown in Retic's diagram). In
the moving frame, both of these forces on each lever would undergo the
same transformation of observation.

There is only one lever. Read again. ;-)

Since both of these forces for
each lever would undergo the same transformation, the net force is zero
as well. The other level does not have to go through the same
transformation, bu the two forces acting on that level have to go
through the same transformation relative to each. The two forces in
opposite directions are always the same in each lever through any
transformations. There is no net force on each lever, and thus the
lever should not rotate in any frame of reference. This is not a
paradox.

However, the Twin's Paradox is still a paradox that needs to be
resolved.
