So the whole point of what I was saying is that special relativity proves that whether two spatially separated events occur at the same time is not absolute and it depends on the observer’s reference frame. My question has nothing to do with engineering and wasn’t intended practically.

The point was to imagine light from some event, reaching two parts of the sensor at the same time, being exposed at the same time (ie the global shutter), and yet asking if those two parts of the sensor could show conflicting versions of that same event, since they are nonetheless separated by space.
