    Supports→In a Weyl geometry, two identical clocks separated and moved along different world lines between the same two events will differ not only in elapsed time but also in their rate of ticking (unit of time) at the destination event.

    The clocks are transported along different world lines from event p to event q.

    Suppose physical spacetime corresponds to a Weyl geometry. Then two identical clocks \(A\) and \(B\) at an event \(p\) with a common unit of time, that is, a timelike vector of given length \(l_{p}\), which are separated and moved along different world lines to an event \(q\), will not only differ with respect to the elapsed time (first clock effect (i.e., relativistic effect)), but in general the clocks will differ with respect to their common unit of time (rate of ticking) at \(q\) (secon
