A group of scientists decided to build a house on a very high platform on
top of a Five miles high pole. They also built a house at the base of the
pole. They persuaded a man to live in the house on the high platform and
they also persuaded a man to live in the house at the base of the pole.
Both men agreed that each day at midday they would leave their houses and
goto their telescopes which were pointed at each other. There they would
observe eachother and they would wave at each other and they would log what
they had seen. Each man was given a atomic clock to keep time.
After a few years the scientists came to the man at the base of the pole
and checked his log. His log stated that each day at midday the man on the
high platform came out and waved at him.
After ten years the scientists came back again and were slightly schocked
to find that this log continued to show that the man on the high platform
came out every day at midday and waved.
After fifteen years when there was still no change they phoned the man
onthe high platform and asked him about his atomic clock and how it was
able to show midday so accurately after such a long time. The man replied
"I think the clock was broken as it started to go wrong quite soon after I
came up here. But it was alright I just used the Sun as it is the most
accurate clock of all"

Common frame to both men the sun but the man at the base should have sliped
forward his idea of midday if he had been going by his clock.
