The Relatively Messy Problem with Lunar Clocks (eos.org)
4 points by Brajeshwar 58 days ago | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment



Genuine question about synchronizing clocks of satellites for example, even if I guess it's not possible because not already made : since we know thanks to Einstein's formula's how to calculate the difference of "time speed" between two points, isn't that possible to "embed" that said calculation in an atomic clock for example, to synchronize itself every x seconds ?

I'm not a native english speaker nor a physicist, and sorry if my question feels dumb, but it bugs my mind.
