Regarding Einstein’s train gedanken depiction of the Relativity of
Simultaneity.
In ‘Relativity the Special and General Theory’ Einstein points out
that from the stationary observer’s point of view (M) flash B (toward
which the train is moving) will reach the passenger before flash A.
Will flash B arrive at the passenger’s location at the same point
relatively to the platform as seen by the stationary observer?
I.e. if there is a second stationary observer (S) located at the point
where, according to M, flash B arrives at the passenger’s location
will the passenger see flash B when he is at the same location as S?
