Relative Simultaneity in the Special Relativity
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 April 2022
Abstract
In this paper a method is proposed for empirically determining simultaneity at a distance within the special theory of relativity. It is argued that this method is independent of Einstein's signalling method and provides a basis for denying the conventionality of distant simultaneity.
