The thing was I didn't focus on that. I mean there was a time when people thought that the idea of relativity of simultaneity or time dilation was logically inconsistent or against our "common sense". But because it was based on experimentally verified fundamentals (principle of invariance of...

I think I understand your point.Tell me if I'm getting this right: Because it would lead to logically inconsistent results otherwise, all the dependencies in all the reference frames must always work in a way to ensure that order of C and D( which causes the inconsistency ) is invariant. That is...

I don't get how you clubbed two distinct events into a single event just because they happened at the same place and time. If we had established that both phones would ring simultaneously in all reference frames, then the worldline of the center would be timelike and all observers would agree...

See as far as I know for two events which are timelike separated there can be no reference frame where the two events are simultaneous. While in the above case if A and B are simultaneous in a reference frame and the center is equidistant from A and B then center will receive signals from A and...

See Peter that's what's bothering me, I mean why can't it happen... Let us say 3 events A, B and C happen in a spaceship X. For an observer in another spaceship say Y events A and B(which are distinct and not causally connected) are simultaneous. Now can't we come up with any example/experiment...

Sorry Pervect, I wasn't imagining an ambulance where signal reaches instantly. I was making the point you mentioned here... That is in some reference frames where event at A happens first the ambulance will receive call from A first and will go to street A while in reference frames where event...

And referring to your above point. Could you elaborate...I mean can simultaneity or order of two distinct events affect a third event.

I'm sorry I don't get how those events are causally connected. Let us call the event when personnel receive call from accident at street A as event C and that from B as event D. So shouldn't C solely depend on A and not on B, Also A and B are not causally connected

Hey everyone, I have this doubt for quite some time now. So could somebody please help me and explain where I am going wrong with this. According to the relativity of simultaneity, it is impossible to say in an absolute sense whether two distinct events occur at the same time if those events...
