Io ho specificato che voglio il tempo dell'orologio al polso del
gemello viaggiatore e non il tempo della Terra.
(I have specified that I want the time of the watch on the traveler's
twin wrist and not the time of the Earth).

Degli altri osservatori non m'interessa alcunché.
(Of the other observers I have nothing to do with it).

Certamente!! La simultaneità riguarda sempre gli aventi separati
nello spazio.
E io cerco la simultaneità del gemello viaggiatore con gli eventi
terrestri.
(Of course!! Simultaneousness always applies to those who are separated
in space. And I seek the simultaneity of the traveling twin with
earthly events).

Quando il gemello viaggiatore *vede* il lampo, l'evento "emissione" è
già avvenuto.
(When the twin traveler sees the flash, the "emission" event has
already occurred).
