The simultaneity occurs when two or more elements, actions or events that relate match. These events usually happen at the same time; therefore, they are coincident in time.
This relationship applies in various more complex fields and in different areas of knowledge.
The 6 main examples of concurrency
1- In the economy
In economics this term is applied in the area of services, since the production of the service and its consumption occur simultaneously.
2- In music
Simultaneity in music is perceived when more than two tones or voices sound at the same time and can be differentiated from each other.
It is important to note that simultaneity only happens when all the elements sound at the same time and not in succession.
3- In communication
Simultaneity in communication occurs when immediate interaction occurs, also known as feedback.
This mainly occurs when the sender transmits the message live. Thus the receiver receives the information immediately.
In this way, a reciprocal reaction is created between the person who sends the message and the person who receives it, since all this is happening at the same time.
4- In mathematics
In this field simultaneity is visualized in simple equations or in simultaneous equations. They share a variable and to be solved all the equations must be solved at the same time.
5- In physics
There are two meanings for simultaneity in physics. First there is Albert Einstein's theory of relativity of simultaneity.
According to this theory, simultaneity does not occur with an absolute relationship between the facts. What is really simultaneous is that the facts or events are occurring at a precise moment.
However, it cannot be perceived that way from all parts of the world due to the laws of physics.
Another theory of simultaneity is that of Isaac Newton. In this theory it is stated that all events programmed to occur simultaneously will coincide as long as the synchrony remains.
6- Interpreter
A visible example is when a speech, interview or news is being broadcast on television, and an interpreter has the job of carrying out the translation by signing or orally.
The interpreter has the responsibility to reproduce the words at the same time as the speaker.
The interpretation must be done simultaneously, so that the receiver can understand the message; if there are pauses, you may lose the sense of what you are seeing. This type of simultaneous interpreter is often used for live and direct broadcasts.
