Is Simultaneity Absolute or Relative in the Theory of Relativity?
Sep 18, 2023 · Of course, the relativity of simultaneity is not intuitive for us, because we don't move close to the speed of light relative to objects in our surroundings (our "reference frames"), and thus …
Bell's theorem, QFT, and the Relativity of Simultaneity
May 5, 2020 · Relativity of simultaneity still plays a role though, right? Presumably that is a characteristic feature of Minkowski spacetime? SR is a theory of space and time. There is noting inherently …
