I have a simple question... say two firecrackers explode simultaneously, and there's an observer in the same reference frame at rest. The observer is standing closer to one firecracker, but since she is at rest, does she observe them to explode simultaneously?
If not... I cannot find the equation I need to use to find the different times the light of the explosion reaches her eyes. (say she is standing 600 m from firecracker A, whose light reaches her eyes in 3.0 mu-s. and she is standing 300m from firecracker B).
Thanks =)
