Re: Two photons... relative distance question

No no, I'm no Dave Sepalla whoever he is. Sorry to step on an old
bruise. My name is Anthony Rose, I'm twisting my brain into a pretzel
around this stuff for the first time and am always quite prepared to be
persuaded by a rational discussion.
What I'm confused by is my understanding of the relativity definition
of time within a specific inertial frame of reference.
My understanding is that within a specific inertial frame of reference
in space-time, if you consider a single moment, that moment applies to
all locations. To put it another way, for the purposes of calculations
in SR, if you define co-ordinates (*,*,*,t), you can vary *,*,* for any
value of x,y,z without that variance impacting t?
