Hey guys
based on the Einstein train thought experiment we can say that different inertial frames disagree on simultaneity. In that specific example, the train observer is moving towards one thunder, and away from the second and in his frame the thunder in front of him occurs first followed by the thunder on the rear. Now my question is how to make sense of this while doing circular motion, like we do it on the Earth. It is vague to say that we move towards something because we might as well say we are moving away from it, from a different perspective of the circle. Can anybody explain, or compare the train scenario with events on Earth, and in which sequence do space like events occur for moving frames here on Earth?
