These artifacts may have come from the JPEG format, from saving a single colorful image as GIF instead of PNG or from saving an animated GIF using the incorrect settings (See also Dither).

Summary
| Description |
English: This figure illustrates the desychronization of a clock transported around a rotating ring.
The gold light cones are the light cones of various Langevin observers in Minkowski spacetime. These observers rotate rigidly with angular velocity ω; in the figure, ω = 1/2. The frame vectors are shown as black rods. The axis of cylindrical symmetry, r = 0, is shows as a dashed green line. The z coordinate is inessential has been suppressed. The red curve is the world line (a timelike nongeodesic curve) of a particular Langevin observer. The blue curve (a spacelike curve) and shows why the clocks of Langevin observers riding on a rotating ring cannot be globally synchronized. This figure was created by User:Hillman using Maple to export a jpg image, then using eog to convert to png format. |

This diagram image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with
{{vector version available|new image name}}.
It is recommended to name the SVG file “Langevin Frame Cyl Desynchronization.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter. |
