Hey idiot if the light signals ("started" or "occurred") at different
times in the train frame then these are not the same light signals as
seen by the track observer. Why? Because Einstein stipulated that the

Seto's delusions of grandeur entirely control his thought process. No
matter how many times he's told that this is not what Einstein
stipulated, and no matter how many times he's shown that this is not
what Einstein stipulated, it isn't going to register

Hey idiot runt: I was just pointing out what Einstein said.

And I, Seto-san, was just pointing out that when it comes to
Relativity, you are far too incompetent to be pointing out anything to
anybody. Abundant proof of that incompetence is provided to you on a
daily basis. Here's a little of today's allotment.

You're given the following 3 facts:

1. Two observers O1 and O2 are co-located when their (ideal) clocks
both read zero.

2. O1 is at the midpoint of the locations of two lightning strikes,
and receives the first light from both strikes when his clock reads T.

3. O2 is moving along the straight line joining the locations of the
lightning strikes at a constant speed v relative to O1.

Now for ANYONE who understands SR, answering the following question is
a trivial matter.

How much time elapses on O2's clock between O2's reception of the
first light from each lightning strike?

Of course, for you, Seto, not only is that question not trivial - it's
utterly impossible, as you're now going to evidence with your reply.
