i don't get it.

are you saying if you have two clocks,
you cannot scronize them if the other clock is two inches away from each
other? you need to 'adjust' it for the 2 inches of distance???


Let me take it a step further so you don't need to measure suchs a small
distance in time...

One clock is here, and you move the other clock not 2 inches from each
other, but...

the other clock you move it to the edge of the universe...

What time will the other clock read? an hour difference??
