Summary
| Description |
English: This image shows a schematic depiction of the clock synchronisation proceduce that was examined by Poincaré in 1900.
The red lines represent world lines in newtonian space and time; in the context of Poincaré's examination these are world lines of motion with respect to an unmoving immutable w:luminiferous ether. The yellow lines represent pulses of light (or pulses of any other electromagnetic wave) that are sent back and forth among a group of clocks that do not have a velocity relative to each other. If the two-way transit time of the signals remains the same, then it has been verified that the clocks do not have a velocity relative to each other. If the clocks to not have a velocity relative to each other, then there is no Doppler shift, allowing the procedure operators to verify whether the clocks themselves are counting time at the same rate.
