    The Paradox of the Synchronous Watch Repairman
    A common conceptual hurdle associated with special relativistic time dilation is the Twin Paradox. However, a more nuanced, often overlooked issue involves the theoretical 'Synchronous Watch Repairman' (SWR). The SWR is an observer who attempts to calibrate a network of clocks simultaneously across two distinct, rapidly moving inertial frames. Because the relativity of simultaneity is rel…
