| May 8, 2020 at 7:42 | comment | added | Luca M | Lightnings are not simultaneous in A: relativity must hold exactly, at least in these kind of thought experiments, so the approximation that : "Since the road is not much broad, it would take same time for both the lights to reach A" is not valid. | |
| May 8, 2020 at 6:30 | comment | added | user262060 | Do you mean that the lightning should take place on same side of the road? If that is the case then why is it so?? | |

| May 8, 2020 at 4:38 | comment | added | PNS | To observe the effects of relative simultaneity, the events have to occur in the direction of your motion. In this case, the events are directed along the breadth of the road, which is not in the direction of motion of the bike. That is why you cannot disprove simultaneity using this thought experiment. | |
