Abstract
In a rigid rod of length AB \(=L\), rotating uniformly, any two spatially separated points along the rod are connected in a way that shows analogies with the quantum entanglement of the spin of particles. This "classical entanglement" can be used for syncing two distant clocks, one at A and the other at B. Since it differs from Einstein synchronization, this procedure can be adopted for testing the one-way light speed and Lorentz invariance. Applications to optical Sagnac effects confirm that a consistent interpretation requires the adoption of absolute versus relative simultaneity.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Theoretical Physics publishes original research and reviews in theoretical physics and neighboring fields. Dedicated to the unification of the latest physics research, this journal seeks to map the direction of future research by original work in traditional physics like general relativity, quantum theory with relativistic quantum field theory,as used in particle physics, and by fresh inquiry into quantum measurement theory, and other similarly fundamental areas, e.g. quantum geometry and quantum logic, etc.
