Summary
In special relativity, the term "observer" has a meaning that differs significantly from the ordinary English meaning of the term. Each location in spacetime is marked by four numbers defined by a frame of reference: the position in space, and the time (which can be visualized as the reading of a clock located at each position in space). The "observer" synchronizes the clocks according to their own reference frame.
