I agree that M and M' cannot be the same point in three dimensional
space because M is on the embankment and M' is on the train.

But that doesn't tell us what is occurring when a lightning strike
occurs at both A and A' and a second lightning strike also occurs at
B
and B'.


Simultaneity of Relativity does.
==============================================
What, like this?

Looks like M and M' are at the same point to me.
You dorks would claim thunder was not simultaneous with lightning
when little kids know to count to five, and that gives how many
miles away the strike was.

Idiot!
