The method of synchronizing clocks in accelerating frames through the use of electromagnetic signals can be tested experimentally by considering clocks placed in a set of synchronous satellites about the earth's equator. In synchronizing the clocks in a circuit about the equator, a large measurable time difference (9 microsec) is obtained between the two clocks in the same satellite from which the synchronization process is started and completed. Similarly, the earth's rotation may cause discrepancies in terrestrial timekeeping.
