    What do you mean? It doesn't make much sense to me. Are you talking
    about the uncertainty relations? The uncertainty of position of a
    particle can be viewed as an uncertainty in time fairly easily; if the
    observer is moving relative to the observed system relativity will cause
    a mixing of space and time, making the uncertainty a combination of
    both. [Delta x * Delta p >= hbar and Delta t * Delta E >= hbar can be
    seen as statements about the spatial and time components of the
    relativistic location and momentum vectors].

    This doesn't make much sense either. Note that the uncertainty relations
    doesn't say that things have to happen at separate times, and in any
    case relativity makes the concept of 'simultaneously' disappear - two
    events that occur at different times to one observer can appear
    simultaneous to another observer who is moving relative to the first.
