Beschreibung:

This figure illustrates the desychronization of a clock transported around a rotating ring.

The gold light cones are the light cones of various Langevin observers in Minkowski spacetime. These observers rotate rigidly with angular velocity ω; in the figure, ω = 1/2. The frame vectors are shown as black rods. The axis of cylindrical symmetry, r = 0, is shows as a dashed green line. The z coordinate is inessential has been suppressed.

The red curve is the world line (a timelike nongeodesic curve) of a particular Langevin observer. The blue curve (a spacelike curve) and shows why the clocks of Langevin observers riding on a rotating ring cannot be globally synchronized.
