Thanks to everyone trying to sort out my confusion. Apologies if I have not used the accepted notation for the times. Firstly about those clocks. I see them as recording clocks. The observer's two clocks are synchronised at the start. Every clock, when it observes an event, prominently...

I thought I had understood the difference in clock rate for different observers, but I am unable to answer the following problem:- An observer O is stationary in an inertial frame of reference, with two stationary clocks which are some arbitrary distance apart. A rocket ship flies through the...

I think I understand the reply from Chestermiller. I depends what you mean by "Simultaneity". If I look up at the night sky and see two flashes of light occurring at exactly the same time, but I then discover that one is from a star 10 light years away, and the other from a star 100 light...

Loss of Simultaneity I too have a problem understanding how Relativity explains Loss of Simultaneity. Consider two points ‘A’ and ‘B’ fixed in space in an Inertial Frame of Reference. There is a flash bulb at each of those points. When a flash bulb fires, a spherical bubble-surface of light...
