How can there be mutual time dilation when one ages faster than the other? I can show that lost time doesn't always work as an explanation and because of that lost time is ruled out. This rules out Relativity, Mitch Raemsch

Time is NOT the same everywhere. this is experimentally proven So everything yhou say from here on is just fantasy in some imaginary world other than our own.

No .. FTL does that. You just showed that. > Ftl does not breach causality, Yes .. it does > MTD (mutual time dilation) does. No .. it doesn't You really are poor at physcis. --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: news(a)netfront.net ---

Acceleration of aether-wave energy through space slows time flow for matter. By a slower clock you are traveling further through space. There is more time at high speed for a slower clock's intervals by comparison. This makes the time factor of space travel easier. You would live loneger and travel further that way. Mitch Raemsch

Actually it is. If you consider Betty is still in uniform motion away from Ann, and look at the event in Betty's frame where Betty's clock shows 2023 .. Ann's clock will show an earlier time (say 2021) simultaneous with Betty (according to Betty). But there is also a time later than 2023 in Ann's frame (say 2025) where Betty's clock will show 2023 and be simultaneous with Ann (according to Ann). SO the description is quite compatible with SR and MTD. There is also no problem with causality. However, if you introduce FTL transmission of information (which doesn't happen in SR) then you get breaks in causality. That is (part of ) what FTL doesn't happen in our world (which is modelled so well by SR) |
