Correct.cianfa72 said:So, the adjustment sent from the first clock (rear clock in the case at hand) is employed by the distant clock (front clock) just to 'set' accordingly its time reading without making any rate adjustment (clock rate adjustment, if any, is really a separate matter).
No, in a Minkowski global inertial frame, sound propagation would be isotropic and would produce identical synchronization as light as long as there is no wind in this frame (I.e. the clocks don’t experience any wind). If the air is moving relative to the clocks, that produces anisotropy, and the sound would produce different synchronization than light (idealizing that air does not have any refractive index).cianfa72 said:For example in the Minkowski global inertial frame the sound wave propagation is anisotropic while light propagation is defined to be isotropic in that frame.
Does it make sense ?
Sorry to point out all this things, but it is really important for me to get a clear understandingThanks.
