As I said, Henri, no experiment aims to do this. It is NEVER the case
and NEVER HAS BEEN THE CASE that an experiment shows one theory is
correct and no others could be correct. Nor should this be the case.

The acceptance of a theory is based on how many experimental results
over the WHOLE body of evidence are accurately accounted for by the
model.

I assume the clock RATES are identical.
If their readings are not in absolute synch then the difference between their
readings is absolute.

No. Why should they be?

>If yes, - are they in 'absolute synch'?
>If no, why are they not in synch?

Because they were not originally synched whilst adjacent.

Why dont you read my original post again. Your question is not related.

Looks like you didn't even try to offer an explanation.

Do you ever sit and wonder why so many different people all manage to
believe the same thing and all offer the same evidence to you? Have you ever
- once - thought that your understanding might be wrong?
