Well, here we are, 12 months on from the publication of my new book "The Binary Universe"
Some sales to report and some interest in the subject matter.
It's quite frustrating when you believe you have identified an embryo theory of everything and only one person has realised the significance. Well, these things take time I guess (excuse the pun).
So, let's start the thinking;-
What do YOU think of Special Relativity's claim that although the moving clock slows down and this has been experimentally proven, but the view of the stationary clock from the moving one is also red shifted/slowed down. I don't think this can possibly be right.
I think it can be right. It's like perspective. When you and I are separated by distance, I say you look smaller than me and you say I look smaller than you. When we're separated by motion I say your clock's going slower than mine and you say my clock is going slower than yours. See this: http://physicsdetective.com/the-nature-of-time/.
ReplyDeleteThe plain fact is, time itself does actually slow down the faster to travel. There's no getting away from it, even the electrons in your atoms rotate more slowly as you accelerate. There must be a cause for this effect, so what do you think that is? It can only beone thing if you think about it.
ReplyDeleteActually, it cannot be right as you suggest, otherwise, how do you explain the lost time on the moving clock? The moving clock really HAS been operating more slowly due to its motion. If, during its travels, it observes the slower moving frame', then it MUST see blue shift, with everything happening faster there, NOT red shift. I remind you that no one has yet carried out an experiment to prove the red shift observed in the "stationary" frame from the moving one. No one has yet, sat on a muon to observe the red shift of the experimenter. The assumption, (and it IS just an assumption), is incorrect.
ReplyDeleteI quote Dr, Lawrence Krauss - "A photon sees the complete life of the universe until the end of time, in an instant".
I don't know about you, but I can't think of anything more blue shifted than that.
