In the books I've read about relativity the introduction is a definition of simultaneity which is given by the famous train and track example.I've thought a lot about it and concluded that the difference is just in the measurment.I mean the man on train thinks thunders are not simultanous and the man on the ground thinks they are but doesn't mean there is no absolute meaning of simultaneity and it just shows the measurment error.So I concluded that special relativity is a theory which gives us the exact amount of error in measurments caused by taking different frames of references not sth that happens in reality but I read in articles that special relativity's implications are seen in nature and so they happen in reality.
this makes me confused.I really need help about it.
thanks
