Re: Relativistic synchronisation method

OK. So we can sum it up:
 At home you "tune" your clock to show UTC+1h.
You know the station clock is "tuned" to show UTC+1h.
Since your clock and the station clock are well "tuned",
you expect the clocks will show the same when you arrive
at the station.
 It would be ridiculous to claim that the clocks were not
"tuned" to show the same when you were at home, but in some
mysterious way became "tuned" to show the same when you arrived
at the station. The clocks which side by side show the same
must by definition be "tuned".
  If the reader thinks that "being tuned" is the same as
"being synchronous", he is wrong, as Richard will explain below:

No, what I say is not ridiculous at all.
It is you who do not understand what I have been saying for several years now.
I was already saying the same thing forty years ago, and I have never changed an inch.
You are like a man who is given a magnificent book on "The notion of integration in Leibniz" but which is written in Chinese.
They tell you: "This book is magnificent" and you answer "no, no, it is all wrong, because I do not understand it, I do not know how to read Chinese".
It is you who are absurd without knowing it.
I can explain things as clearly as possible, you do not want to understand, your desire is in the obscurantism which saves you from having to think and understand things in such a precise and distinct way that your mind would be upset.
The same for all those who read, with this formidable pretension: he is alone, we are many, therefore we hold the truth, therefore his words (anisochrony, relativity of chronotropies) mean nothing.
You still do not understand why two watches placed in two different places will never be able to agree on the time, nor why two simultaneous events for one will not be for the other.
If in addition, they are in motion, the disorder becomes worse. Not only will they not agree on the time, but they will no longer agree on the speed of the beating of their internal mechanism.
