Suppose we carefully synchronize two identical atomic clocks initially standing next to each other (call them and ) . We put clock on a jet plane, which then flies around the world at an essentially constant speed of , returning later. We then again compare the two clocks. Assume the earth's surface defines an inertial reference frame, and ignore the possible effects of gravity.
-(c) Which clock measures the shorter time interval between the synchronization and comparison events (or do both measure the same time) ?
