- danbruc 11y agoI guess because it is more or less wrong. Relativity establishes that time is observer dependent, i.e. observers moving relative to each other will in general not agree on which events occurred at the same time. But there is no uncertainty because of the finite speed of light and nothing that prevents synchronizing clocks although it is admittedly not easy because relative motions and gravitational fields influence the speed at which clocks tick. There is also still a causal structure in spacetime defined by the light cones of events so that different observers agree on the ordering of events that may have a causal relationship. It's all pretty complicated and way more nuanced than popular science usually presents it.
