But only one that is used anywhere other than in SR mantras. Set the clocks
to the same time. Move them to where you need them.

The distance between synchronized clocks is completely irrelevant, anywhere
but in SR catechisms. Since Einstein's 'synchronization' method uses a
fixed distance to ensure that the second postulate is never disproven.

Kindly learn how to link to a single thread. There is no need to waste
