Good morning,
Yesterday I was reading a book about special relativity, It focused a lot about consequences of the theory, but there's only one thing I couldn't understand, which is as the title suggests, Relativity of simultaneity, that two different observers can't agree if two event are simultanious, I understand Einstein's thought expirement, but I get often confused about it, for example Imagine an observer at rest, let's name it A, whose origin is O, now draw the (x,t) space-time along with A's world line and O, let's place a point G in Elsewhere (Not in the absolute future or past of O), how can I draw the wordline of a moving observer B passing through O that record O and G to be simultanious,
