Marcus, if two remote clocks are E-synched, observer at A will know that when
his clock reads 12.00 clock B will also be reading 12.00.

At that instant, the 12.00 reading defines the common 'NOW'. The exercise can
be repeated everywhere in the universe.

Wilsonian relativity CERTAINLY works. THe Einsteinian version is bunkum!
