Can any explain me 'The Simultaneity concept' of Relativity in a more clearer way than the textbooks

Vocaloid:

@sillybilly123 can you take a look at this when you get a chance

sillybilly123:

Not sure exactly what you are looking for but maybe take a look at the original 1905 paper (??), specifically: I. KINEMATICAL PART ยง 1. ***Definition of Simultaneity*** Linked here: http://hermes.ffn.ub.es/luisnavarro/nuevo_maletin/Einstein_1905_relativity.pdf It doesn't as much come up with a definition of simultaneity, as it does define what is mean by time at different places in a reference frame. (Note the absence of an observor exactly midway between the points, often to be found in explanatory texts.) There follows a derivation of the Lorentz transforms, a bit more involved than in the text books maybe. not sure this helps. Shout if not.

AbhishekRoy:

@sillybilly123 This is more of a textbook kind of stuff..... I wanted something (taking into consideration Minkowski spacetime) and more of a better Example or Situation to go with it..... (Not Shouting) ;-)

sillybilly123:

Minkowski space is a dense mathematical construct. and i think that if you don't get temporal simultaneity there is no point in that stuff. not shouting either !
