Question: A light flashes at position x = 0 mx = 0 m . One microsecond later, a light flashes at position x = 1 0

A light flashes at position x=0mx=0m. One microsecond later, a light flashes at position x=1000mx=1000m. In a second reference frame, moving along the x-axis at speed vv, the two flashes are simultaneous.
