- Does Lorentz invariance imply Einstein's clock synchronization convention ?
Hi,
I've read a number of posts here on PF about Einstein's clock synchronization convention.
In the context of SR we know the transformation law between inertial frame's coordinates is actually the Lorentz one. The invariant speed for Lorentz transformation is c (actually it coincides with the speed of the light in the vacuum).
That's means the process of light propagation is described as isotropic with the same fixed speed c in every Lorentz inertial frame. Hence it imply the Einstein's clock synchronization procedure applies to synch clocks at rest in each of these Lorentz frames.
What do you think about ?
