The funny thing is that Shubert, by confusing synching and setting
of clocks, gives to the time coordinate a specific treatment, so
his "most entertaining exploit in the history of physics" leads,
at best, to a regression comparing to SR (not to speak about GR)
which can be expressed as a geometry of space-time. It's not a
big surprise, then, he could reset clocks in any way he wants
(in a galilean space-time) to obtain a absolute time order
(contradictory with both SR and experiments).
Of course it far worse than that since he doesn't realize that
a unhomogeneous space-time makes strictly impossible to express
any kind of law of movement.
