The idea is that you can't know this. You're somewhere in the middle receiving messages from all the clocks, and you can't tell if they're synchronized unless you've already defined the speed of light between you and each clock.

- AnimalMuppet 3y agoPerhaps I said that badly. "If all the clocks agree at satellite facility A, and all the clocks agree at satellite facility B". I'm not comparing clocks at A with clocks at B. Second, I was thinking of labs perhaps tens of km apart. You can have people at the center, and at satellite facility A, and at satellite facility B.
