In Einstein's train/lightning strike thought experiment, the embankment and train observers disagree on the simultaneity of the events.
But let's alter the experiment so that if the strikes are seen to be simultaneous, ( embankment observer ), the combined strikes blow up the entire experiment. The train observer will say the strikes were not simultaneous so there was no explosion. How can both observers views be correct?
