If it is the event "the clock marks > t = 0" this is definitely something Einstein-Poincaré synchronization > leads to determine. It does not play any specific role btw. 0 is a clock > value as any other :-) Time always requires to define a starting point, because time is actually an interval, even if most people don't recognize that. We have usual clocks like e.g. a wrist watch, which are commonly set to the local time by some sort or timing signal. E.g. the BBC transmitted the sound of 'Big Ben' at noon. Then we have calendars which also get synchronized each year at a huge celebration. This is then used as stating point of time for this particular year and location. TH
