a car travels at 3/4 the speed of light, and your friend happens to be on it. As you stand on the ground watching your friend pass by, lightning bolts strike both the front and the back of your friend’s railcar. If he saw the lightning bolts strike the front and the back of the railcar simultaneously, you will disagree. What do you say happened? Why? Note: this is different from the situation in the book. To find out who is right, you and your friendmeet on the ground and decide to measure the distance between the scorch marks and compare it to your measurement of the length of the car. Are your measurements what you expected it to be? Are your friend’s measurements what he expected it to be? Who was right about the timing of the lightning strikes? What can you conclude about events that are simultaneous in one reference frame?
