It doesn't appear to be impossible.

Setup a transmitter at earth which emits a signal at uniform intervals containing current time (seconds since kanye west's marriage). An observer can then deduce current time if it knows where it is. I don't think relativistic dilation would effect this method.

With multiple such emitters synchronized with each other, one might even be able to 'triangulate' the current time. (I haven't worked out any details)

You can't synchronize the stations because simultaneity does not exist due to relativity. There will always be reference frames where one station signals before another.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.

We've known since the Viking landers of the 70s that clocks on Mars don't run the same as on Earth, and that's not even accounting for the speed-effects as the Earth keeps "lapping" Mars on their respective race around the sun.

I'm not sure I see what you'd be gaining there, though. You'd be, at great expense, trading one basket of headaches - clocks not staying in sync - for another one: one second measuring a different length of time on each planet.

[sagartewari01]

Yes but then earth's one second would become the standard. This method is supposed to synchronize events between stations. We can always use atomic clocks for local uses.

Would the Y2K bug then be the possibility of Kanye and Kim getting divorced?
