Clock synchronization, a universal light speed, and the terrestrial red-shift experiment
Abstract
This paper (i) gives necessary and sufficient conditions that clocks in an inertial lattice can be synchronized, (ii) shows that these conditions do not imply a universal light speed, and (iii) shows that the terrestrial red-shift experiment provides evidence that clocks in a small inertial lattice in a gravitational field can be synchronized.
