Doesn't that imply knowing which of two events happened first? Imagine, after your bat accident I took liberties with your wife as a revenge?
Please pardon my 17th century's line of thought :)
- Rhapso 4y agoIt really depends on how fast both of you are going relatively to each other and who is asking the questions (and how fast they are going...)
- hinkley 4y agoWhich happened first can be in the eye of a third party observer versus a first party. it doesn’t matter which happened first, it matters what the observers saw and whether they can agree. The relativistic example here says that observers will never agree. If an event that I didn’t observe happened first, it didn’t influence my decisions. It might influence yours though, but when things get grey we give benefit of the doubt.
