[General] Hello all

[Hodge John]

I understand NOL is “… looking for non-believer…” “    to present newer scientific logics…”. I do that. My web page is http://myplace.frontier.com/~jchodge/and a summary of my model (the Scalar Theory of Everything - STOE) is at https://www.academia.edu/17626492/Scalar_Theory_of_Everything_model_correspondence_to_the_Big_Bang_model_and_to_Quantum_Mechanics. I started looking for a new model by considering theobservations of the big, of the small and of life. The quest was for a set ofcommon principles for all areas. The current (standard) models were lessimportant because each was created to address only a small part of the overallproblem. I note the current thread is about Special Relativity. Ilike the Lorentz Ether Theory (LET) better. Many modern discussions are aboutthe instruments used, the meaning of measurement, and whether transformedquantities such as space, time, and quantum waves are real. Many of theseissues may be better discussed as the physics of the standards used in algebrato describe continuous situations. Consider a metal bar. The bar in a roomcould be defined as a standard length. All physics has to do is assume it is astandard. Take the bar to another room and compare it to a second bar withdifferent composition and note they are the same length. Do the same for a thirdbar with different composition in a third room. Last, take all bars to theoriginal room and compare. If the three rooms are at differing temperatures,the bars will be of different lengths. The coefficient of expansion is areorganized physics phenomenon. But when we make a bar a standard, the unit oflength becomes a function of temperature. Do the same type of experiment withthe bars subject to differing velocities. The result this time is called``length contraction''. Perhaps new physics is needed to describe the physicalprocess of measuring or of the mechanism of velocity caused length changing. Consider a pendulum clock as astandard. The physics of a pendulum clock is well understood. The gravitationalforce affects the clock duration between tick events. Raise the clock and notethe clock rate changes. The gravity is less at higher altitudes. Putting one oftwo clocks that keep equal time on an airplane the starts (acceleration), fliesaround the world, and lands will yield ending different times on the clocks.The time change of the pendulum clock during takeoff could be the time requiredfor takeoff - several seconds - if the bob is held to the rear of the airplane.When a pendulum clock is allowed to free--fall in gravity, the relative forcebetween the mechanisms will cause clock time to slow. As the clock approachedterminal velocity, the force on the pendulum will grow and at terminal velocityit's normal rate will return. The pendulum clock's gravitation (acceleration)time dilation is significantly different than the GR calculation. Because themechanism of the pendulum clock is understood, the clock rate is not calledtime dilation. The mechanism of radioactive orquantum decay is unknown. Others have found a change innuclear decay rate that appears related to the Sun. What would happen to aradioactive clock in free--fall or during varying acceleration such as in acentrifuge (I am not aware of such experimental data. There is the experimentof putting a clock on a turntable that measured before and after that isdifferent from ``during''. Perhaps this could be a suggested experiment.)? Thiswould also be a test of the GR equivalence of gravity and mechanicalacceleration. Gravity is a first derivative of a scalar. If gravity were amembrane, less gravity would be lower curvature (tension differential) of themembrane. If gravity were a density differential of a medium as Newtonsuggests, less gravity and greater time dilation would imply greater densityfarther from mass. Mathematics suggests proportionality, hence, a densityrelation. (Inverse relationships suggest a division.) If a time slowing weremonitored such as the muon lifetime decay measurement, would the conclusion bethat there was time dilation, that the density of the medium changed, or thatacceleration forces such as gravity influences the mechanics of radioactivedecay? The muon decay rate at the bottom of the mountain may be because itschange in gravity is changing the physics mechanism of decay like in thependulum clock. The difficult mathematics in GR may be indicating that adifferent physical model for decay should be sought or that the speed of lightchanges for different plenum (``space'') density.
