> You just constructed an argument that can be readily used to argue that all events are simultaneous No, I haven't. I have studied relativity in University, have you? Lol @bozobit I will make the statement more rigorous. "Let event A represent the emission of a photon. Let event B represent the arrival of a photon elsewhere. Event here refers to a unique location in space-time i.e (x,y,z,t). As per special relativity, you can always find a reference frame such that the time separation between A and B can be arbitrarily small. It can't be made exactly zero, but it can be made as close to zero as you wish to." Use this formula to figure out the reference frame of interest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_contraction The speed of light is constant. So decrease/contract the length until the time required = distance/c is one second or less. |
