You are making a fool of yourself gain, Ralph. :-)

Actually, I found it a bit surprising that you didn't know
this fact after having discussed related issues for years.
It has been mentioned often enough in this forum.

UTC clocks are synced, that is - they are simultaneously showing
the same - in the non rotating ECI frame.

But the Earth is rotating, so the instant inertial rest frame
("ground frame") of our two clocks are moving relative to the ECI frame.

That's why they are NOT synced (simultaneously showing the same)
in the ground frame.

The effect is called the "Sagnac effect".

Sure it works. And it proves that UTC clocks which are
synced in the non rotating ECI-frame, are not synchronous
in the ground frame.

This is a practical, everyday observation of the fact
that simultaneity is relative.

You are proven wrong.

Exactly. Clocks can't be pairwise E-synced all around a rotating Earth,
that's why they are synced in the non rotating ECI-frame.

But if NOW IS NOW EVERYWHERE (simultaneity is frame independent)
then it shouldn't matter in which frame they were synced.

The fact that it does prove you wrong.

SO NOW ISN'T NECESSARILY NOW EVERYWHERE IN A ROTATING FRAME! :-)

Rest assured, I won't forget it.
You are proven wrong.

Cased closed.

How are they synched?
Are you saying they are synched against the same GPS clock 85 us away?

there are imaginary effects because you are using a rotating frame.

How exactly are they synched in the non frame?

Simultaneity has nothing to do with the time taken for light to travel.

This is one of the imaginary effects that can make the user of a rotating frame
look like a fool.
I have mentioned before in my sagnac explanation that there is an imaginary
time factor involved in the rotating frame....just as there are imaginary
forces.

Quite.
Since it is a real effect observed in the real world,
it wouldn't be read by the inhabitants of Wonderland
to whom only imaginary effects are of interest.

So according to Ralph Rabbidge, two clocks on the ground
which are synced whilst together and then moved apart,
will remain absolutely synced and Einstein's synchronisation
procedure will confirm that they are in sync.

But wait ...
Ralph Rabbidge has changed his mind!

The clocks are not absolutely synced after all!
Some imaginary time factor has made Ralph Rabbidge,
user of the ground frame, look like a fool!


Most effects are imaginary in Wonderland. :-)

But inhabitants of the real world know that the fact
that UTC clocks are not synchronous in the ground frame
is a practical, everyday observation of relativity
of simultaneity.
