Graduate Simultaneity & Digital Clockfaces: Understanding Relativistic Time Syncing
Yes, I corrected it above. Sorry for the confusion. By this I mean that S arranges things so that at t=0, if O could check the times on clocks L and R, they would agree for him. I understand that they will tick at a slower rate than any clock in Os frame. This is probably an unnecessary...- dface

Graduate Simultaneity & Digital Clockfaces: Understanding Relativistic Time Syncing
Can you walk me through what happens to each photon and the subsequent number radiation? I'd really appreciate it, as I am having a hard time visualizing what numbers reach O and S.- dface

Graduate Simultaneity & Digital Clockfaces: Understanding Relativistic Time Syncing
Are you suggesting (completely arbitrary numbers, just for example): S sees 0:04 from Clock L, and 0:03 from Clock R (since they were deliberately offset) O sees 0:02 from Clock L, and 0:05 from Clock R (since the two radiation events occurred at a different time from his perspective) If...- dface

Graduate Simultaneity & Digital Clockfaces: Understanding Relativistic Time Syncing
I am having a hard time understanding a scenario that I have not found discussed elsewhere. It has to do with simultaneity and information content. There are two digital clocks on either end of a spaceship. Clock L on the left, Clock R on the right. They have digital displays, showing time...- dface
