A rocket traveling at .3c is approaching two events (flashbulbs) A and B located at xA = 20 and xB = 30 and occurring at t = 0 then: tA' = [0 - (.3)(20)] / [1 - .32]1/2 = - 6.3s and tB' = [0 - (.3)(30)] / [1 - .32]1/2 = - 9.4s What does this mean? It can't mean that an observer on the rocket sees event B occur before event A can it? |
