Undergrad How Should We Interpret Integrals: Sums or Antiderivatives?
I think this is the most intuitive and logical way to think of it. No limits, just using known relationships... http://postimg.org/image/h08fimwxl/ -

Graduate Does the relativity of simultaneity exist 'at a distance'?
Thanks for the responses. Bcrowell, I get what you are saying, but I am more curious about the metaphysical aspect that pervect had addressed. I know we must analyze the results to see what happened, but they happen nonetheless before we compare them. I just find it fascinating that it must be...- JTT10

Graduate Does the relativity of simultaneity exist 'at a distance'?
Fascinating. This also then means that the slightest possible movement (we'll go with a quantum fluctuation) instantly 'registers' on the furthest possible location, the boundary of the universe. Just me or does this in some sense ring of holography?- JTT10

Graduate Does the relativity of simultaneity exist 'at a distance'?
I have been studying special relativity and in working with Minkowski diagrams I have come to wonder if when simultaneity is shifted based on relative movement, does this 'shiftting' of simultaneity happen instantaneously across all of space? When a reference frame moves relative to something...- JTT10
