<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1446505434851_2225" class="">I started looking for a new model by considering the
observations of the big, of the small and of life. The quest was for a set of
common principles for all areas. The current (standard) models were less
important because each was created to address only a small part of the overall
problem.</div>

<div class="" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1446505434851_2231" style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">Many modern discussions are about
the instruments used, the meaning of measurement, and whether transformed
quantities such as space, time, and quantum waves are real. Many of these
issues may be better discussed as the physics of the standards used in algebra
to describe continuous situations. Consider a metal bar. The bar in a room
could be defined as a standard length. All physics has to do is assume it is a
standard. Take the bar to another room and compare it to a second bar with
different composition and note they are the same length. Do the same for a third
bar with different composition in a third room. Last, take all bars to the
original room and compare. If the three rooms are at differing temperatures,
the bars will be of different lengths. The coefficient of expansion is a
reorganized physics phenomenon. But when we make a bar a standard, the unit of
length becomes a function of temperature. Do the same type of experiment with
the bars subject to differing velocities. The result this time is called
``length contraction''. Perhaps new physics is needed to describe the physical
process of measuring or of the mechanism of velocity caused length changing. </div>
<div class="" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1446505434851_2233" style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">Consider a pendulum clock as a
standard. The physics of a pendulum clock is well understood. The gravitational
force affects the clock duration between tick events. Raise the clock and note
the clock rate changes. The gravity is less at higher altitudes. Putting one of
two clocks that keep equal time on an airplane the starts (acceleration), flies
around 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 required
for 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 force
between the mechanisms will cause clock time to slow. As the clock approached
terminal velocity, the force on the pendulum will grow and at terminal velocity
it's normal rate will return. The pendulum clock's gravitation (acceleration)
time dilation is significantly different than the GR calculation. Because the
mechanism of the pendulum clock is understood, the clock rate is not called
time dilation. </div>
<div class="" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1446505434851_2235" style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">The mechanism of radioactive or
quantum decay is unknown. Others have found a change in
nuclear decay rate that appears related to the Sun. What would happen to a
radioactive clock in free--fall or during varying acceleration such as in a
centrifuge (I am not aware of such experimental data. There is the experiment
of putting a clock on a turntable that measured before and after that is
different from ``during''. Perhaps this could be a suggested experiment.)? This
would also be a test of the GR equivalence of gravity and mechanical
acceleration. Gravity is a first derivative of a scalar. If gravity were a
membrane, less gravity would be lower curvature (tension differential) of the
membrane. If gravity were a density differential of a medium as Newton
suggests, less gravity and greater time dilation would imply greater density
farther from mass. Mathematics suggests proportionality, hence, a density
relation. (Inverse relationships suggest a division.) If a time slowing were
monitored such as the muon lifetime decay measurement, would the conclusion be
that there was time dilation, that the density of the medium changed, or that
acceleration forces such as gravity influences the mechanics of radioactive
decay? The muon decay rate at the bottom of the mountain may be because its
change in gravity is changing the physics mechanism of decay like in the
pendulum clock. The difficult mathematics in GR may be indicating that a
different physical model for decay should be sought or that the speed of light
changes for different plenum (``space'') density.</div>
