John, All events without exception happen in the present moment. The present moment is the only locus of actual reality in which anything can happen.
Of course those events can happen with different clock times according to relativistic conditions in different frames, but they always happen in the present moment. lt is very strange to me how no one seems to understand what I'm even saying with respect to two kinds of time, irrespective of whether they agree or not. I have to think more about what the reason for this cultural mental block is. Something very strange going on here to say the least! And of course Einstein did NOT prove that "self-evident truth was completely wrong" in any general sense, not in anyone's wildest dreams. He demonstrated only that a particular interpretation based logically on NON-relativistic daily experience was incomplete and needed to be extended.
