metachronism

Example:The metachronism caused by time dilation becomes significant for objects moving at speeds close to the speed of light.

Definition:A phenomenon in special relativity where time appears to pass slower for an object in motion than for an object at rest, as observed from the frame of reference of the object in motion.

Example:In the context of metachronism, the observer effect can lead to different perceived sequences of events based on the observer's reference frame.

Definition:The effect of the act of observation on the phenomenon being observed, particularly in quantum mechanics.

Example:Metachronism within a light cone shows how different times can be perceived by different observers moving at varying speeds.

Definition:In relativity theory, a light cone is a boundary which describes the region of space-time in which a flash of light, emanating in all directions from a single event, can influence or be influenced by that event.
