OK.
Since you are not trying to defend your statement:

  "Other observers in other locations have a local future,
   too, but that can actually be your past."

. . you must have realised that it is meaningless nonsense.

BTW, you have still not responded to the following:

Does that mean that you have understood Einstein's
definition of simultaneity?
Or are you unable to read and understand it?

Please read it, and if you find a logical error in
Einst5ein's derivation,  please point it out.

-----------------------------------

quote from § 1. Definition of Simultaneity
-------------------------------------------
|  we establish
|  by definition that the “time” required by light to travel
|  from A to B equals the “time” it requires to travel from
|  B to A."

So in SR the speed of light is isotropic c by definition.

This is a definition of simultaneity, se below.

That two clocks are synchronous means that they
simultaneously show the same.
(This is the definition of "synchronous".)

Einstein made 'an imaginary physical experiment':
(a _thought experiment_)

quote from § 1. Definition of Simultaneity
-------------------------------------------
| "Let a ray of light start at the “A time” tA from A towards B,
| let it at the “B time” tB be reflected at B in the direction
| of A, and arrive again at A at the “A time” t′A."

tA is the time shown by the clock at A when the ray leave A.
tB is the time shown by the clock at B when the ray hits B.
t'A is the time shown by the clock at A when the reflected
     ray hits A.

In a thought experiment measurements can be made with
infinite precision, and we can sit at our desks and analyse it.

The transit time is d/c where d is the distance between A and B.
Let clock B be F ahead of clock A, where F is between 0 and
a long time.

We then have: tB  = tA + d/c + F
and:          t'A = tB + d/c - F

so:  (tB - tA)  = d/c + F
      (t'A - tB) = d/c - F

If (tB - tA) = (t'A - tB)  then (d/c + F) = (d/c - F),
which is true only if F = 0,
the clocks simultaneously show the same.

This means:

    TB = (TA + d/c)
  When clock B shows TB clock A simultaneously
  shows (TA + d/c), which is the same.

    t'A = (tB + d/c)
  When clock A shows t'A clock B simultaneously
  shows (tB + d/c), which is the same.


Thus:
  In accordance with definition the two clocks are synchronous if
       tB − tA = t′A − tB.

This is a logical consequence of the postulates of SR
and that the speed of light is isotropic.

Einstein's definition of simultaneity is mathematically
consistent.

This doesn't say anything about whether or not SR's
predictions are in accordance with measurements.
Only real experiments can do that.

You just tested positive for Stupid!


A and B may have  simultaneously synchronous clocks but,
A and B are two different events in time.

if i'm in the middle of A and B, ...what time is it? B future or A's
past, or half past a cows ass..?


You just tested positive for Stupid!

idiot, if synchronous that's the same event, as one cannot discern the 
difference. See entanglement in quantum physics. Kiss my ass.

you can never prove the past nor the future. The configuration given

If the notion of simultaneity is relative (I'm not talking about 
chronotropy; everyone has accepted the idea
that it is relative to the observers' speed of movement), I'm just talking 
about the notion of relativity of simultaneity by positional change (I am 
here, you are over there).
What tells me (and experience proves the opposite if we understand the 
genesis of relativistic effects) that the notion of simultaneity of events 
is absolute and reciprocal for two observers placed in different 
locations, even if they are perfectly inertial to each other?
This is what many physicists do not seem to accept, however. It's true 
that the idea is so counter-current that we haven't made any progress on 
it since 1905. We still believe that, for example, if a man beeps at me 
while he's 3.10^8 m away, and I receive his beep a second after I sent 
mine, then the two beeps were simultaneous.
This is, essentially, reasoning like a Newtonian.
And we don't understand AT ALL the very essence of this fantastic theory.

another reason You just tested positive for Stupid!...

 Einstein's definition of simultaneity has NOTHING to do with
space or time...
they are Einstein's 'thought clocks'... 
he's a con artists..

 Einstein's definition of simultaneity has NOTHING to do with
space or time...it all has to do with...'relativity'.

NOTHING TO DO WITH ...CLOCKS!

oops, i think my thought clock is slow, i'm late again for class! i
thought it was earlier...
i need a new thought clock...

2 clocks

a cukoo clock

2 cuckoo clocks!

It is an assumption.

This assumption says, that time is local only.

This means: the universe has not really an age, because it 'folds back 
into itself'.

This idea is a little tricky, but imagine a Moebius strip. That has only 
one side, even if a sheet of paper has two.

Now place something (like e.g. yourself) upon one side and walk into one 
direction, then you would end up upside down below your feet and would 
walk into the opposite direction.

Now think about this phenomenon in 3D.

I had tried to explain a difficult topic in easy words for you and now 
you complain, that this ain't scientific.

Sure, it isn't really scientific.

But if you prefer more scientific explanations, that should be possible 
as well.

Enough mindless nonsense.

Let's revert to the real world.

The subject line is: The problem of simultaneity.

If you read and understand the following, your problem
with simultaneity will be solved.

But considering all the nonsense you have written,
I doubt that you are able to understand the logic.

But maybe you will surprise me?

-----------------------------

We start with this quote:

quote from § 1. Definition of Simultaneity
-------------------------------------------
|  we establish
|  by definition that the “time” required by light to travel
|  from A to B equals the “time” it requires to travel from
|  B to A."

Note that this statement imply that A and B are stationary
relative to each other.

This definition together with the two postulates of SR means:
       The speed of light is isotropic c by definition.

This is a definition of simultaneity, see below.

That two clocks are synchronous means that they
simultaneously show the same.
(This is the definition of "synchronous".)

Einstein made 'an imaginary physical experiment':
(That is a _thought experiment_)


quote from § 1. Definition of Simultaneity
-------------------------------------------
| "Let a ray of light start at the “A time” tA from A towards B,
| let it at the “B time” tB be reflected at B in the direction
| of A, and arrive again at A at the “A time” t′A."

tA is the time shown by the clock at A when the ray leave A.
tB is the time shown by the clock at B when the ray hits B.
t'A is the time shown by the clock at A when the reflected
     ray hits A.

In a thought experiment measurements can be made with
infinite precision, and we can sit at our desks and analyse it.

The transit time is d/c where d is the distance between A and B.
Let clock B be F ahead of clock A, where F is between 0 and
a long time.

We then have: tB  = tA + d/c + F
and:          t'A = tB + d/c - F

so:  (tB - tA)  = d/c + F
      (t'A - tB) = d/c - F

If (tB - tA) = (t'A - tB)  then (d/c + F) = (d/c - F),
which is true only if F = 0,
the clocks simultaneously show the same.

This means:

    TB = (TA + d/c)
  When clock B shows TB clock A simultaneously
  shows (TA + d/c), which is the same.

    t'A = (tB + d/c)
  When clock A shows t'A clock B simultaneously
  shows (tB + d/c), which is the same.


Thus:
  In accordance with definition the two clocks are synchronous if
       tB − tA = t′A − tB.

This is a logical consequence of the postulates of SR
and that the speed of light is isotropic.

Einstein's definition of simultaneity is mathematically
consistent.

This doesn't say anything about whether or not SR's
predictions are in accordance with measurements.
Only real experiments can do that.

you shit norwegians should deny the noble prize for peace to yourself, as 
you provable bombed the Nordstream2 energy pipelines to europe from the 
bottom of the sea. Disgusting the hypocrisy.

the europe should be putting you pay all your money for the damages you

you bombed the pipelines with such of an arrogance and suck my dick

you see too many movies, you stupid fuck. That's how the fuck america is

also, that's how they put you in the war, stupidly bombing your own energy

It is not an assumption. Einstein's time is only based on...'local
only'...it's caled...Relativity.

Einstein's time is local time. loco time. cuckoo time. cuckoo means
loco, loco means local in the coco.

 Locoregional describes something confined to a specific,

loco place...local time.

loco in the coco means...cuckoo

It is where Relativity got it's ...foundation, a cuckoo clock.

I forgot, yous people are terrible in History...

An oversized cuckoo clock? Maybe. But don’t underestimate its
influence. The tower inspired a young patent clerk named Albert
Einstein, and changed the way we think about the universe.
