Wayne is right: all bets are off when you're talking about accelerated reference frames. What we might consider is a digital clock (with a loooooong cord) which is travelling in a straight line at relativistic speeds. Not afraid to continue this strange way of ending an article- Stan Tead

Hate to put a damper on the discussions of whirling clocks, but I seem to recall that net.physics was created for such discussions (my .newsrc recalls this, too). Unless I'm mistaken, this should be where relativity and the like get discussed--or did it (in-)advertently get deleted in the recent newgroup wars?
