Abstract

Simultaneous events are spatially separated events connected by an infinite velocity signal.  Special Relativity asserts that what appears to be an infinite velocity signal in one frame is observed as having a finite velocity in another reference frame.  In this paper, we trace the cause of the non-simultaneity to the position-sensitive term in the Lorentz time transform, and show that this term is not supportable by properly designed experiments, by the construct of Lorentz equations, and by the established behavior of satellite clocks.
