On the concept of simultaneity in relativity

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2026-03-20 v1 History and Philosophy of Physics

Abstract

In this comment, we demonstrate that the claim by Spavieri et al., asserting that Wang et al.'s interferometric experiment disproves the special theory of relativity by revealing that simultaneity must be an absolute concept independent of the observer's state of motion, is based on circular reasoning and therefore constitutes a logical fallacy.
