Relativity and its deliberate confusion over Time and Space.

Engineered on purpose to make the maths work and the theory pliable. I doubt AI will be emitting the truth anytime soon.

“….only a Michelson interferometer in gas-mode can detect absolute motion, as we now see… indeed, the evidence is that absolute motion is the cause of these relativistic effects, a proposal that goes back to Lorentz in the 19^th century….Einstein-Minkowski spacetime ontology is invalidated, and in particular that Einstein’s postulates regarding the invariant speed of light have always been in disagreement with experiment from the beginning….Then of course one must use a relativistic theory for the operation of the Michelson interferometer.”

In Relativity, space and time are merged. As given above it is false. Many posts have outlined why space-time is fiction, and why dozens of scientists and physicists do not agree with this postulate. Scientific objections to ‘spacetime’ date back to pre-World War I. This post addresses the incorrect technical aspects of Special Theory of Relativity (STR) and time and space.

Objective of STR

Space and time were merged to allow Einstein and Relativists the opportunity to explain away the lack of evidence for the Earth’s mobility, and the reality that interferometer experiments had detected the aether. Space and time must be merged within Relativity to allow for the distribution of energy, the creation of inertia and gravitational fields in space. It is not that anything was proven. It was that the maths required a 4^th dimension to impose Relativistic velocity and calculations. Any sentient human understands that we live in 3 dimensions.

Time, time, time

Time is not a distance. Time is not an axis. Time is a human calculation. It is a human contrivance. It is as simple as that. Time cannot be merged with matter, or ‘space’, or Einstein’s ‘Relativistic aether’. Time is not bound up with space, though it may obviously have a relationship with ‘space’. The relationship between time and space does not mean they are joined or united.

‘Time’ properly defined:

· Time is a sequence of events, for an object, that we can observe ,

· There are 2 states of change with an object to allow a sequence to be observed,

· State changes can include a position in ‘space’, a charge, a temperature, a change in physical properties,

· When there is a sequence of changes to a primary object, we could notice changes of other objects along with the primary object,

· To calculate repetitive changes, which are called units of time, we use a device to count the changes or event sequences, namely a device we call a ‘clock’,

· We can then record the numbers of this counting with any other changes of objects we observe

‘Time’ is in essence a calculation related to a specific object, which measures and counts sequential changes. Human reason puts these changes into a sequential order. This sequential counting gives us the perception of events passing through ‘time’, or the counting of changes over a durational period we label as ‘time’.

Rocks do not calculate time. Cats do not calculate time (outside of the accurate estimation of elapsed duration between breakfast and dinner). Space does not calculate time. Only humans engage in such measurements.

It is inane to deny that the human creation of time is somehow ‘relative’ when 2 events are occurring simultaneously anywhere within the universe. Within the ordered sequence and clock calculation the 2 events are assessed against the universal calculation of durational change. They don’t have their own ‘clocks’ as claimed by Einstein’s cult. Immanent, logical, calculated sequential events, supersede local ‘observers’ who are manipulated within Relativity’s tautological calculus to render local clocking. This is just one area where Relativity is fraudulent.

Space

It seems reasonable to state that the objects around us, including the microscopic such as an electron, occupy ‘space’. The changes of an object are subject to changes of their components' positions in that space. The concept of ‘space’ within STR or most of physics is rarely defined and clarified.

Consider matter and space, or the area that the matter occupies. For matter as objects, they will hold a unique position in their ‘space’. Changes to the object can occur because there is ‘room’ or ‘space’ for the change to happen. For matter, some properties are ‘immutable’. Examples could include the electric charge, the inertial mass and the gravitational field of an electron, which do not change. But other properties can change based on activity or stimuli, including temperature, energy, movement or inertia.

Every particle has its own ‘space’ and room to operate

Using the hydrogen atom and its electrons as one example. The shared electrons for hydrogen or indeed any other element, must live in a space. Although some aspects of an electron do not change, they do have a spatial distribution, within 3-dimensional space. This fact indicates an objective nature behind the concept of space. Space exists for objects that do not change. This means that space is separate from time and the sequence of changes to an object.

Therefore, we can say that ‘time’ is always a subjective concept, and space is objective at a point in time. Time depends on our ability to count and put in an order (sequence) the changes that we observe to an object within ‘space’. Time is clocking the duration of a change to an object in its space, or the place in ‘time’ which is objective.

STR (special theory of relativity)

STR does not accept that a unit of ‘time’ is essentially defined by two distinct events within an absolute reference frame. STR breaks up every single event related to an object into a separate reference frame. STR then assesses the events observed in the two reference frames and attempts to calculate the time interval between the events to be used as a common time unit. Denying an absolute frame of reference is simply sophistry.

Within STR thought experiments, objects are often in motion near to the speed of light. One of the joys of Relativity is that there are many varieties and apologia so the reference frames change as needed. A common example is below where 2 frames are in use and the object in Frame 2 is moving perpendicular to Frame 1. Frame 2 could be spaceship S¹ and Frame 1 could be spaceship S’.

Signals sent from Frame-2 to Frame-1 can be light rays. The motion of the light is independent from the motion of both frames. The distance between the rays remains unchanged by the relative motion between the frames. However, the moments at which the signals are sent must be synchronized internally in Frame-2 by mechanical methods, not by light rays. The reference frames are never fully equivalent.

To correctly transform times and coordinates between the two frames you need to transform times and coordinates of each frame to some resembling an absolute frame of reference. STR does not allow this. Both frames would show different clocks. This is not sensible.

Claims

It is claimed that the relativistic frames of reference have some experimental proof. None of these offer a validation of STR. For example, if STR predicts different rates of the clocks in systems of different velocities, it does not mean that other theories cannot predict the same thing. Many non STR theories can explain relativistic clocking if that is what you believe in and are trying to prove.

The oft-cited ‘proof’ for STR is the 1971 Hafele-Keating experiment, which in reality does not prove anything. It is alleged that the Hafele-Keating experiment, using 4 cesium-beam atomic clocks, demonstrated time dilation predicted by Einstein's theory of relativity. The narrative is that US commercial jets flying clocks eastward and westward around the world two times, confirmed that time passes slightly slower for moving observers relative to stationary ones. The clocks at the US naval base clocked a dilation compared to those in flight. This explanation is inaccurate.

By time dilation, there is a difference in time (very small) due to gravity. This is sensible. But it has nothing to do with ‘Relativity’! It is known that gravity will affect ‘clocks’ and bend light. It is the effect of gravity which STR does not include, which accounts for the difference in clocks between the jets and the land base. How can this experiment prove STR when STR has nothing to do with gravity?

STR has nothing to say about gravity and it is gravity which will alter the calculation of time (this is one reason why the age of cosmos is so very different than that of the Earth). So, what do the wizards do? They invoke GTR and ‘gravitational effect’ and the difference in time between ‘moving observers’ and stationary observers. In GTR velocity is equivalent to gravity. This is entirely unproven.

Stronger gravity causes time to pass slower, not that the clock itself runs faster. It's a difference in the rate of time, not the mechanical operation of the clock. This observation has nothing to do with ‘Relativity’ it is a Newtonian effect of gravity and entirely explainable with Newtonian physics.

Further, if we look at the Hafele-Keating experiment, we notice that the Doppler effect in relation to an absolute frame of reference is not considered, as well as other factors such as cosmic radiation, which could affect the electronics involved in the experiment. Exposure to cosmic radiation would force a difference between the eastward flights and the westward flights of this experiment.

It seems sensible that clocks are dilated due to gravity. But it has precious little to do with the maths of Relativity. We can be generous and state that time dilation is a good insight from Einstein (many posts on here agree with it). But I don’t need relativistic maths to understand differences in the rates of clocking due to the effects of gravity.

This is true of Relativity in general. We don’t need Relativity to explain any of the phenomena including Mercury’s precession, solar light aberration, or time dilation.

As with the perihelion of Mercury, supposedly explained by General Relativity, many other models and calculations which are not relativistic exist to ‘save the phenomena’.

Bottom Line

Time and space are separate concepts. They can never be merged. You cannot measure an object or even a field change if time is viewed as a distance or an axis within space or matter. Relativity is entirely unnecessary to explain the sequential duration calculation of an object’s change. It also has little to say about the interaction of material elements or particles, with fields (gravitational, energy, electro-magnetic).

We live in 3 dimensions, not 4, 5, 10, or 100. We know that the invariant speed of light, so essential to Relativity, is wrong. We know that energy and mass are not equivalent and that E=Mc2 is incorrect. We also know that Newtonian gravity can bend light and probably delay a clocking of time in sequential order which has nothing to do with Relativity.

Relativity explains nothing including its own confusion. AI propaganda notwithstanding.

All hail.
