On Mössbauer rotor effect, clock synchronization and third postulate of relativity

Abstract

The Mössbauer rotor effect recently gained a renewed interest due to the discovery and explanation of an additional effect of clock synchronization which has been missed for about 50 years, i.e. starting from a famous book of Pauli, till some more recent experimental analyses. The theoretical explanation of such an additional effect is due to some recent papers in the general relativistic framework. Here, we show that the additional effect of clock synchronization can be calculated in another way via the third postulate of relativity.
