| ▲ | exe34 2 days ago | parent [-] | | not for us, but in some other reference frame. | | |
| ▲ | wizzwizz4 2 days ago | parent [-] | | If by "reference frame" you mean "observer who lives in the past", then yes: the past is sometimes the future of a more distant past. | | |
| ▲ | exe34 a day ago | parent [-] | | no, relativity allows for reference frames where the event hasn't happened yet, even though it has happened for you. there's no simultaneous "it has already happened" for all frames. | | |
| ▲ | wizzwizz4 6 hours ago | parent [-] | | There is if the event is in the past or future light cone. If A sends a signal to B, and B receives it, there is no reference frame where that signal went backwards in time. (Unless you count exotic ones, like "particle with imaginary rest mass is zooming along at thrice the speed of light", but you can't accelerate to such a reference frame so I don't.) |
