Of course I do, and I have excellent comprehension!
Sorry, but you are the one the
incorrectly accused me of using a light source that was NOT equi-distant...and then went on a rant. You need to re-read the post I posted right before that one of yours, and see that it is exactly correct.

B sees it right away
A sees it later

supernova M31 next to B.
Yes, when his clock reads 0 (and we don't need to get cute with the SN wasn't right next to him!)
That's the Whole Point..............what good did it do to have the light halfway between, to set A and B's clocks to 0.............both their clocks reading 0 is meaningless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
_____________________________________B____________ _______________
------------------------------------------LS
_____________________________________A____________ _______________
Einsteins set up to synch clocks for observer A and B
Distance from A to B....both are stationary.......2.4 million light years
This is the first thing that Einstein did, before he had B moving anywhere, before he used any Lorentz Transform, before, before, before, all the stuff you guys are trying to show as valid after the fact....and way before Minkowski.
Tusenfem, said earlier that distance was irrelevent. Well, obviously, it IS relevent, because I have shown that a SN exploding in M31, cannot be simultaneous with our Now, here in the Milky Way..............so the Halfway LS is useless...........just because the clocks are set to 0, Does Not mean that oberver A and Observer B have the same nows........whether it is 5000 feet........as Wayne agreed the Nows are the same, or 2.4 million light years where Northern Boy said the SN in M31 and our Now here in the Milky Way, were Synchronized!
Assuming that both those observers have the same "Now", with no motion, is 'contracting that distance to 0'........Illegally
