Einstein's Special Relativity claims that time is relative to the observer’s frame of reference. Thus, clocks show time dilation and length shortening depending on the circumstances.
However, Einstein didn’t go all the way down the rabbit hole.
Proper Time in Relativity is the time on a clock in the reference frame being experienced, and an inertial observer measures his clock as the coordinate duration of time. Time dilation and length shortening are real events according to Einstein.
Let’s unravel the concept. First of all, nothing is stationary; electrons and photons are moving at the speed of light. Scientists like to claim that an observer is in a stationary frame of reference.
I aim to show that all clocks are relative to their environment. So time dilation and length shortening only happen to a clock’s ticking rate, not to time itself. Prepare to know the truth that has misled everyone about time and clocks.
Time and clocks are different things, and clocks do not measure time. Clocks measure the duration of motion in an activity, and we translate the numbers a clock shows into time. Clocks display numbers, but numbers, as well as time, are concepts.
We cannot live our lives without knowing the time, but we must differentiate between clocks, the concept of time, and reality. Time is not what we think it is.
Two Famous Versions of Time
Sir Isaac Newton said time is absolute, and Albert Einstein said time is relative. They were thinking about time in different ways. Newton’s time means that everything on Earth and in the universe is happening simultaneously. Einstein said time is relative to your speed and frame of reference. These two versions of time differ.
However, they fail to provide a definition of time. Time is a description of the universe moving at the speed of light. The universal speed of time differs from Earth time.
Everything is moving at the same moment in the universe. Young stars and old stars exist at the same present moment in the age of the universe. Time is defined by the universe as the present moment moving at light speed from its beginning to its end. The now moment is the same everywhere, regardless of age, so only the present moment exists.
However, on Earth, we experience the universe’s motion on a rotating planet orbiting around the sun. Nevertheless, the present moment on Earth is also the present moment of the universe. Time doesn’t exist as we know it. Let me explain.
Clocks on Earth are tools to keep track of our history and daily lives. Calendars are for long periods of time, atomic clocks are used for tiny measurements, and the smallest duration of time is when light has travelled one Planck length.
The Invention of Earth Time
To keep track of our motion, we have transformed motion into Earth time. For example, think of each location on Earth experiencing the present moment but at a different distance from the sun. Additionally, in our daily motion, half of the planet is in sunlight and half in the sun's shade.
However, the distance between us and the sun varies throughout the year, while the Earth orbits the sun and rotates at a regular rate. Therefore, we use the daily rotation of the Earth as time. Time as we know it didn't exist until we started using clocks.
Moreover, if you lived on another planet, you would have a different timeline. The main point is that what we know as time only exists on Earth, but the universe and the solar system are moving with the same motion in the present moment.
It’s challenging to explain the motion around us when we use time for so many different things. It’s time to wake up, time to eat, and time to rest.
Our concept of time is based on the motion of our planet. We have divided Earth’s daily rotation into 24 equal parts, and each of those into 60 parts, and each of those parts into 60 additional parts. We call them hours, minutes, and seconds. Thus, there are 86,400 seconds in each day.
Next, we invented clocks that tick at the rate of one second per second to keep track of our daily routine. A clock represents the speed of Earth's rotation. As clocks became increasingly more accurate, we documented every activity by timing its speed and duration of action.
Additionally, we use time to measure the activity of planets, stars, and galaxies. Do we understand that everything we measure with clocks is a comparison to the rotation rate of our planet? In other words, we have made Earth the central control station that determines the movement of the universe. More about that next time in part 2.
It’s amusing that we are so egotistical. People buy a million-dollar watch, not because it keeps accurate time, but because it’s a famous brand and contains gold and diamonds. At the same time, a $40 watch is more accurate at keeping time.
Do you realize that you think time causes things to happen? You might think that the universe couldn’t begin if time didn’t exist. You believe that you wouldn’t be able to grow older if time didn’t exist, and some people think they can stop time or time travel to the past.
Are you confused about time, and even more confused when Einstein said time is Relative? At first, I was confused about time, but now I realize everyone else is confused and they think I’m the crazy one.
Einstein Misled By Time
Clocks and time are human inventions, and they don’t work in all situations of motion in the universe. The laws of physics control the motion of physical items, not clocks or time.
Einstein’s Special Relativity states that the speed of light is invariant in all frames of reference. His equations indicate that the faster a clock moves, the slower time appears to pass, and objects seem to shrink in size. This phenomenon is known as time dilation and length shortening.
What can cause a clock to tick more slowly? Is it the speed of a clock? No, it’s the universal laws of physics. When objects move, they experience acceleration, forces of gravity, friction, heat, and energy, and these forces act on all things.
You can use Einstein's math and say time slows down, but time can not cause a force or action. We can use time as a measuring tool, but not as a universal law of nature.
Einstein was misled by time. His math shows that time changes in certain situations, but he doesn’t say how speed changes time or why the clock changes. The math has been tested and proven in numerous ways, but the physical reason isn’t mentioned. What force is acting on the clock’s motion? Is it magic?
Similarly, the force that affects a clock would also affect your biology. For example, the astronauts who were recently trapped in the International Space Station for several months appear to have aged ten years.
A clock’s ticking rate changes because of physical forces, but Einstein used imaginary clocks and imaginary math to say an imaginary property of space changes time. However, a physical change occurs according to the laws of physics.
Time is a universal constant, and clocks are physical tools. Motion happens from the forces of nature, and a force can change a clock’s ticking rate. However, the speed of light is invariant, and clocks are subject to physical laws.
Therefore, a clock’s ticking changes, but time itself doesn’t, so time dilation is false time. Next time, in part two, we’re going down the rabbit hole again to show why Einstein’s relativity is all smoke and mirrors. My book "Einstein Misled By Time" is on Amazon, and it explains time in greater detail.
