Relativity of Simultaneity is a fundamental principle in special relativity designating that two events judged as simultaneous in one inertial frame of reference are not necessarily simultaneous in another inertial frame moving relative to the first, due to the invariance of the speed of light and the dependence of time measurement on the observer’s state of motion.
