*WE all agree clocks slow down, but If I include the observer then I get
an equation for the slow down that agrees with eperimetn but disagrees
with Einstein in the higher order, so it should be testable
*
*Lets look at this thing Historically*:
In the 19’th century the hey day of Aristotelian Philosophy everyone was
convinced Reality consisted of an external objective universe
independent of subjective living beings. Electricity and Magnetism had
largely been explored through empirical experiments which lead to basic
lawssummarized by Maxwell’s equations. These equations are valid in a
medium characterized by the permittivity ε_0 and permeability μ_0 of
free space. URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell’s_equations
These equationsare valid in a coordinate frame x,y,z,t and are identical
in form when expressed in a different coordinate frame x’,y’,z’,t’.
Unfortunat4ely I’ve never seen a substitution of the Lorentz formulas
into Maxwell’s equations that will then give the same form only using
∂/∂x’, and d/dt’, to get E’ and B’ but it must exist.
In empty space Maxwell’s equations reduce to the wave equation and
Maxwell’s field concept required an aether as a medium for them to
propagate. It was postulated that space was filled with such a medium
and that the earth was moving through it. Therefore it should be
detectable with a Michelson –Morely experiment. But The Null result
showed this to be wrong.
**
*Einstein’s Approach:*
Einstein came along and derived the Lorentz Transformations assuming the
speed of light is constant, synchronization protocol of clocks, and
rods, the invariance of Maxwell’s equations in all inertial frames, and
the null result of Michelson-Morely experiments. Einstein went on to
eliminate any absolute space and instead proposed that all frames and
observers riding in them are equivalent and each such observer would
measure another observers clocks slowing down when moving with constant
relative velocity. This interpretation lead to the Twin Paradox. Since
each observer according to Einstein, being in his own frame would
according to his theory claim the other observer’s clocks would slow
down. However both cannot be right.
Einstein found an answer to this paradox in his invention of general
relativity where clocks speed up when in a higher gravity field i.e one
that feels less strong like up on top of a mountain. Applied to the twin
paradox: a stationary twin sees the moving twin at velocity “v” and
thinks the moving twin’s clock slows down. The moving twin does not move
relative to his clock but must accelerateto make a round trip (using the
equivalence principle calculated the being equivalent to a gravitational
force). Feeling the acceleration as gravity and knowing that gravity
slows her clocks she would also calculate her clocks would slow down.
The paradox is resolved because in one case the explanation is velocity
the other it is gravity.
*Lorentz Approach:*
Lorentz simply proposed that clocks being electromagnetic structures
slow down and lengths in the direction of motion contract in the
absolute aether of space according to his transformation and therefore
the aether could not be detected. In other words Lorentz maintained the
belief in an absolute aether filled space, but that electromagnetic
objects relative to that space slow down and contract. Gravity and
acceleration had nothing to do with it.
This approach pursued by Max Van Laue argued that the observer subject
to acceleration would know that he is no longer in the same inertial
frame as before and therefore calculate that his clocks must be slowing
down, even though he has no way of measuring such a slow down because
all the clocks in his reference frame. Therefore does not consider
gravity but only the knowledge that due to his acceleration he must be
moving as well and knowing his clocks are slowed by motion he is not
surprised that his clock has slowed down when he gets back to the
stationary observer and therefore no paradox exists.
Everyone agrees the moving clocks slow down but we have two different
reasons.
In Lorentz’s case the absolute fixed frame remains which in the
completely symmetric twin paradox experiment described above implies
that both observers have to calculate their own clock rates from the
same initial start frame and therefore both calculate the same slow
down. This introduces a disembodied 3d person observer which is
reminiscent of a god like .
In Einstein’s case both observers would see the other moving at a
relative velocity and calculate their clocks to run slower than their
own when they calculate their own experience they would also calculate
their own clocks to run slow. But because they know the other twin is
also accelerating these effects cancel and all that is left is the
velocity slow down. In other words the Einstein explanation that one
twin explains the slow down as a velocity effect and the other as a
gravity effect so both come to the same conclusion is inadequate.
Einstein’s explanation would have to fall back on Lorentz’s and both
twins calculate both the gravity effect and the velocity effect from a
disembodied 3d person observer which is reminiscent of a god like .
*So both Lorentz’s and Einstein’s approaches are flawed* because both
require a disembodied 3d person observer who is observing that
independent Aristotilian objective universe that must exist whether we
look at it or not.
Now Baer comes along and says the entire Aristotelian approach is wrong
and the Platonic view must be taken. Einstein is right in claiming there
is no independent of ourselves space however his derivation of Lorentz
Transformations was conducted under the assumption that his own
imagination provided the 3d person observer god like observer but he
failed to recognize the significance of this fact. And therefore had to
invent additional and incorrect assumptions that lead to false equations.
When the observer is properly taken into account each observer generates
his own observational display in which he creates the appearance of
clocks. Those appearance are stationary relative to the observer’s
supplied background space or they might be moving. But in either case
some external stimulation has caused the two appearances. If two copies
of the same external clock mechanism are involved and in both cases the
clock ticks require a certain amount of action to complete a cycle of
activity that is called a second i.e. the moving of the hand from line 1
to line 2 on the dial. Therefore the action required to complete the
event between clock ticks is the invariant.
The two clocks do not slow down because they appear to be moving
relative to each other their rates are determined by their complete
Lagrangian Energy L = T-V calculated inside the fixed mass underlying
each observer’s universe. The potential gravitational energy of a mass
inside the mass shell is
Eq. 1)V= -mc^2 = -m∙M_u ∙G/R_u .
Here M_u and R_u are the mass and radius of the mass shell and also the
Schwarzchild radius of the black hole each of us is in.
A stationary clock interval is Δt its Lagrangian energy is L= m∙c^2
A moving clock interval is Δt’ its Lagrangian energy is L= ½∙m∙v^2 +m∙c^2
Comparing the two clock rates and *assuming the Action is an invariant*
Eq. 2)(m∙c^2 ) ∙ Δt = A = _(½∙m∙v^2 +m∙c^2 ) ∙ Δt’
Dividing through by m∙c^2 gives
Eq. 3)Δt = Δt’ ∙ (1 + ½∙v^2 /c^2 )
Which to first order approximation is equal to
Eq. 4)Δt = Δt’/(1 - v^2 /c^2 )^1/2
Since the second order terms are on the order of v^4 /c^4 I believe
Einstein’s theory has not been tested to the second term accuracy. In
both theories the moving clock interval is smaller when the clock moves
with constant velocity in the space of an observer at rest.
Lorentz is right that there is an aether and Einstein is right that
there is no absolute frame and everything is relative. But Baer resolve
both these “rights” by identifying the aether as the personal background
memory space of each observer who feels he is living in his own
universe. We see and experience our own individual world of objects and
incorrectly feel what we are looking at is an independent external universe.
