Did you read my post #94? There is no such thing as identical "nows". Every point in the universe has its own particular "now". "Now" is defined as when you perceive things to happen.

Clocks run at the same rate for all observers in the same inertial time frame, but their "nows" are different.

Is this so hard to understand?
