Returning to the chair's original question, since I have been thinking about it over the chag.
I have been reading about practices in other domains. Apparently there exist systems of mechanical devices (I believe they are called "clocks") that divide the day into uniform intervals. Some communities synchronize these devices to a common reference, permitting coordination across distances.
There is even, I am told, an international convention that establishes a single reference point from which all such devices take their measure. If we were to adopt such a convention, would the problem of simultaneity not resolve itself?
