The white line represents a plane of simultaneity being moved from the past to the future. In physics, the relativity of simultaneity is the concept that distant simultaneity – whether two spatially separated events occur at the same time – is not absolute, but depends on the observer's reference frame.
A straight line connecting these two events is always the time axis of a possible observer for whom they happen at the same place. Two events which can be connected just with the speed of light are called lightlike. In principle a further dimension of space can be added to the Minkowski diagram leading to a three-dimensional representation.
Two events can be defined by the condition "two clocks are simultaneously at one place", i.e., when W′ passes each W 1 and W 2. For both events the two readings of the collocated clocks are recorded. The difference of the two readings of W 1 and W 2 is the temporal distance of the two events in S, and their spatial distance is d. The ...
Relativity of simultaneity: Two events, simultaneous for one observer, may not be simultaneous for another observer if the observers are in relative motion. Time dilation: Moving clocks are measured to tick more slowly than an observer's "stationary" clock.
Interlacing blue and grey stripes show change of t (stripes of simultaneity). Orange curves (/ \) are light-like curves (null geodesics) with fixed r. In relativistic physics, the Born coordinate chart is a coordinate chart for (part of) Minkowski spacetime, the flat spacetime of special relativity.
Next in the chart come other multi-channel events: Mr Johnson’s second Covid-19 broadcast on May 10 2020 (an audience of 27.6 million across seven channels), the Queen’s funeral service on ...
Specific clock synchronization procedures were defined by Einstein and give rise to a limited concept of simultaneity. [1] Two events are called simultaneous in a chosen reference frame if and only if the chosen coordinate time has the same value for both of them; [2] and this condition allows for the physical possibility and likelihood that ...
