Summary
Schematic view of Einstein's train thought experiment, with two lightnings striking both ends of the moving train simultaneously (as perceived in the stationary observer's inertial frame). Event simultaneity differences are shown for both inertial frames, supported by Minkowski diagrams (not in scale).
