- Abstract:
- The conceptual and operative definition of simultaneity is fundamental not only from a purely theoretical point of view but also in order to ensure the correctness of metrological practices, because of its implication upon synchronization procedures. In this paper we’ll critically analyze the main possible definitions of simultaneity, discussing the consequence of each of them upon the synchronization process and how the choice of the right method is far from obvious.
