Absolute simultaneity

Absolute simultaneity is a hypothetical coincidence of two or more events in different points in space for all observers in the universe.

It is shown in the theory of relativity that there may be always observers for whom simultaneity won't correspond to the same moments in time and therefore simultaneity is always relative.
