      The relativity of simultaneity is the concept that simultaneity is not absolute, but depends on the observer’s reference frame.

      The classical mechanics described by Sir Isaac Newton begins to break down at very high velocities, i.e. at velocities near the speed of light c=299,792.458 km/s. For bodies m...The classical mechanics described by Sir Isaac Newton begins to break down at very high velocities, i.e. at velocities near the speed of light c=299,792.458 km/s. For bodies moving at a significant fraction of the speed of light, Newton's mechanics needs to be modified. The necessary modifications were developed by physicist Albert Einstein in the early 20th century, in a theory now called the special theory of relativity.

      https://phys.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/University_Physics/Physics_(Boundless)/27%3A__Special_Relativity/27.4%3A_Implications_of_Special_Relativity
      Special relativity changed the way we view space and time and showed us that time is relative to an observer.
