Hi.
Thanks for letting me ask this question. It is a stupid one.
I'm a newbie at relativity theory, and I'm reading On the electrodynamics of moving bodies, By Einstein, A. He associates time with space, and tells us that you can measure the "time" of an event if you are in the coordinates of the event with a wristwatch.
However, he says that:
¿Why does this defines a common time? ¿What is common time? ¿Is it that the two clocks display the same value?
This is the document in question: http://hermes.ffn.ub.es/luisnavarro/nuevo_maletin/Einstein_1905_relativity.pdf
