PERIMETER INSTITUTE RECORDED SEMINAR ARCHIVE
 | Special Relativity 9- Synchronization of Clocks Speaker(s): Richard Epp
Abstract: A discussion of how to synchronize clocks that are separated in space, and how this leads to the relativity of simultaneity.
Learning Outcomes: • Understanding that clock synchronization is a physical process, and exploring various methods of synchronization using spacetime diagrams. • How to measure distance with a clock: the concept of radar ranging distance. • A profound realization about the nature of spacetime: Events that are simultaneous for one observer might not be simultaneous for another.
