In arguments with Ken, I usually specify a time interval of ∆t for clarification. Thanks Michael.

No, it has nothing whatsoever to do with distance. "the order of the events depends on the frame" My concept of "critical reaction time" implies an order based on, not distance, but ability to see, but, in the end, we talk of different distances, not different powers to perceive.

No....not exactly....your gedanken is meaningless. >The bug/rivet is rather more complicated since > it involves relativistic motion, Hry idiot both the hole frame and the rivet frame must agree that But from the the bug dies at the instant when the tip of the rivet hits the bug. From the bug point of view that's not a problem. But from the hole point of view SR claims that the tip of the rivet did not hit the bug at the same instant as perceived by the rivet frame because of physical length contraction. So that's the paradox. >but just like the observers A and B > in my simple gedanken see the events in different order, the two > observers in the bug/rivet problem see the two events (rivet hitting > wall & bug squashed) in different order.

From the ground clock point of view the SR effect on the GPS is 7 us/day running slow and from the GPS point of view the SR effect on the ground clock is ~7us/day running fast. Ken Seto

I never said that. Yes both frames agree that the bug dies at the same instant when the tip of the rivet hits it. But you also claimed that from the hole point of view the tip of the rivet hits the bug at a different instant of time than from the rivet point of view. That is a contradiction.
