Abstract

We consider an example of a moving closed contour and the role played by simultaneity in the description of light propagation on the contour's moving sections. We show that, when constrained to propagate along the contour, the local speed of light on a moving section is no longer arbitrary and a consistent description requires conservation of simultaneity.
