Every measurement of the speed of light confirms that the measurement obtains the same results 
regardless of the size or shape of the triangle in space where the light traveled.  To repeat this experiment, 
simply calculate the speed and direction of movement of the earth based platform being used to measure 
the speed of light.  Then calculate the shape of the triangle the light traveled.  From those calculations you 
can identify the speed of light through space as viewed from some remote point in space.   You can observe 
the triangle from the sun or the moon or any planet or other remote point in space.  Each will give a 
constant speed of light on earth but a different speed of light depending upon the remote observation point 
as well as the time of day or the location and orientation on earth where the test is conducted.

In the above I show that the speed of light is relative and additive to the speed of the earth frame of 
reference where it resides.  I showed that objects move in space over time.  In the following I address the 
assumption that simultaneous events aren't simultaneous because time and space are variable.

Original Message Clocks in Sicily, Greece mysteriously gained 20 minutes. US to adjust frequency of power grid, may cause problem with electronic clocks.

In my opinion these changes and adjustments are a response to time dialation. Time dialation occurs when there is an interaction with a gravitational field.

"Gravitational time dilation is the effect of time passing at different rates in regions of different gravitational potential; the lower the gravitational potential, the more slowly time passes. Albert Einstein originally predicted this effect in his theory of relativity and it has since been confirmed by tests of general relativity.

This has been demonstrated by noting that atomic clocks at differing altitudes (and thus different gravitational potential) will eventually show different times. The effects detected in such experiments are extremely small, with differences being measured in nanoseconds.
Gravitational time dilation was first described by Albert Einstein in 1907[1] as a consequence of special relativity in accelerated frames of reference. In general relativity, it is considered to be a difference in the passage of proper time at different positions as described by a metric tensor of spacetime. The existence of gravitational time dilation was first confirmed directly by the Pound–Rebka experiment.

Gravitational time dilation has been experimentally measured using atomic clocks on airplanes. The clocks aboard the airplanes were slightly faster with respect to clocks on the ground. The effect is significant enough that the Global Positioning System's artificial satellites need to have their clocks corrected.[2]
Gravitational time dilation has also been confirmed by the Pound–Rebka experiment, observations of the spectra of the white dwarf Sirius B and experiments with time signals sent to and from Viking 1 Mars lander.
