[QUOTE="spaghetti3451, post: 5453980, member: 294468"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] Three events, ##A##, ##B##, ##C##, are seen by observer ##\mathcal{O}## to occur in the order ##ABC##. Another observer, ##\mathcal{\bar{O}}##, sees the events to occur in the order ##CBA##. Is it possible that a third observer sees the events in the order ##ACB##? Support your conclusion by drawing a spacetime diagram. [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] Here's a particular placement of the events ##A##, ##B##, ##C## in the order ##ABC## as seen by observer ##\mathcal{O}## (##t##-##x## coordinate system) and in the order ##CBA## as seen by observer ##\mathcal{\bar{O}}## (##t'##-##x'## coordinate system): [ATTACH=full]187233[/ATTACH] I find that not all placements of the events ##A##, ##B##, ##C## on the spacetime diagram simultaneously produce the orders ##ABC## and ##CBA## as seen by two different observers ##\mathcal{O}## and ##\mathcal{\bar{O}}##. How I proceed with demonstrating whether or not a third observer sees the events in the order ##ACB##? [/QUOTE]
