Subject: Synchronization Gauges and the Principles of Special Relativity

Dear Dr. Ruggiero,

Thank you for your outstanding essay, "Synchronization Gauges and the Principles of Special Relativity." I especially appreciated the amazing graciousness in your appraisal of Prof. Selleri's work and your very important point that a valuable insight is achieved in SRT when all clock synchronization gauges are seen to be equally valid.

I believe that I have found an excellent application of arbitrary clock synchronizations. It is in a refreshingly new approach toward a mathematically clear and physically intuitive derivation of the Lorentz transformation that teaches this philosophical perspective. I am sharing it with you because you see the beauty of arbitrary synchronization gauges easily. I know you will love it.

Please let me know if you think my paper does indeed reflect your philosophical perspective and if it is good enough to be placed on the arXiv server.

With great appreciation,

Eugene Shubert
