There are two important basic questions in the measurement of time. The first one is how to define the simultaneity of two events occurring at two different places. The second one is how to define the equality of two durations. The first question has been solved by Einstein, Landau and others on the convention that the velocity of light is isotropic and it is a constant in empty space. But no body has answered the second question until today. In this paper, on the same convention about the…

RECENT speculations in mathematical physics, and acquiescence in treatment in terms of unimaginable abstractions, have raised a general question about the use of hypothesis as a means of coordinating…

Zeroth law of thermodynamics and transitivity of simultaneity

The transitivity of thermal equilibrium is equivalent to the transitivity of clock rate synchronization. The condition of clock rate synchronization in general relativity is shown, which is weaker…

The Foundation of Science

To address the question “What is the foundation of science?” I base my response on the two substantive constructs of the question: science and foundation.
