Dialogue in a science forum.
- Asexperia (Elvis Sibilia) says: Guys, everything that the Theory of relativity predicts occurs in the present, there is only one now. We have two clocks (one in space and one on Earth) with different times and both are in the present.
- A forist answers: That is false. There is no universal "now"...that is covered by SR and simultaneity. Different frames of references will always disagree on whether two event are simultaneous. We can never see anything as it is "Now".
- Asexperia answers: The principle of the disagreement of the now considers that two observers, one of them at rest and another in movement, do not agree on whether two events are simultaneous or successive. The disagreement is in the now, in the present. The events take a back seat. Relativity is a theory of disagreement.
