I'm trying to understand length contraction from wikipedia, and they mention clock synchronization:
However, I can't find out what "limit of vanishing transport velocity" means. Google isn't helping either.
The observer installs a row of clocks that either are synchronized a) by exchanging light signals according to the Poincaré-Einstein synchronization, or b) by "slow clock transport", that is, one clock is transported along the row of clocks in the limit of vanishing transport velocity.
