1. In figure R2.12, the object whose world line is labelled B is moving along the x axis. 2. Coordinate time would be frame-independent if the Newtonian concept of time were valid. Consider a Home Frame and an Other Frame that moves in the +x direction with respect to the Home Frame. 3. Observers in the Home Frame will conclude that the clocks in an Other Frame will be out of synchronization, even if the observers in the Other Frame have carefully synchronized clocks using the Einstein prescription.
