...Nelson contended that this conclusion contradicts Einstein's result that "the observer [in the train] will see the beam of light emitted from B earlier than he will see that emitted from A." Moreover, Nelson continued, Or will not only conclude that the lightning strokes were simultaneous,... | |

...toward B. Since this observer is shortening his distance to B and lengthening his distance to A, he "will see the beam of light emitted from B earlier than he will see the one emitted from A."21 In other words, Events which are simultaneous with reference to the embankment... | |
