All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident: Arthur Schopenhauer -- In questions of science the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual: Galileo Galilei -- Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it: Albert Einstein -- When you have eliminated the impossible, what ever remains, however improbable must be the truth: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle -- We all agree that your theory is crazy, but is it crazy enough? Niels Bohr -- Whenever a true theory appears, it will be its own evidence. Its test is that it will explain all phenomena: Ralph Waldo Emerson -- Since the mathematicians invaded Relativity, I do not understand it myself anymore: Albert Einstein -- I would say that the aether is a medium invented by man for the purpose of propagating his misconceptions from one place to another: W.F.G. Swann: -- Most of the fundamental ideas of science are essentially simple, and may, as a rule, be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone: Albert Einstein -- Physics is mathematical not because we know so much about the physical world, but because we know so little: Bertrand Russell -- If I could explain it to the average person, I would not have been worth the Nobel Prize: R. P. Feynman -- I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use: Galileo Galilei -- How dare we speak of the laws of chance? Is not chance the antithesis of all law?: Bertrand Russell -- Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I´m not sure about the former: Albert Einstein -- The glory of mathematics is that you don't have to say what you are talking about: Richard Feynman -- Anything is possible if you don´t know what you are talking about: Author Unknown -- In life, everything is relative - except Einstein´s theory: Leonid S. Sukhorukov -- Don´\'t worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you´ll have to ram them down people´s throats: Howard Aiken --A day will come undoubtedly when the ether will be discarded as useless: H. Poincaré -- First they tell you you´re wrong and they can prove it; then they tell you you´re right but it isn´t important; then they tell you it´s important but they knew it all along: Charles Kettering -- It is not once nor twice but times without number that the same ideas make their appearance in the world: Aristotle -- The opposite of a true statement is a false statement. The opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth: Niels Bohr -- A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it: Max Planck -- Euclid taught me that without assumptions there is no proof. Therefore, in any argument, examine the assumptions: Eric Temple Bell -- Half this game is ninety percent mental: Yogi Berra

Abstract:

This paper develops a sustained argument that so-called “time dilation” in Relativity is not a physical effect but rather a coordinate convention. Using shared, countable external events (lunar passes and pulse trains) as invariants, I argue that physical ‘slowing of time’ leads to ridiculous contradictions. A worked analysis of GNSS/GPS satellite clock management illustrates how practical corrections stem from geometry, propagation delays, and system engineering rather than literal temporal distortion. I conclude that Relativity’s explanatory role in satellite systems is overstated, and propose falsifiable protocols to distinguish physical from coordinate interpretations.

Greetings, Steve.
The flow of time is the process of transforming the future into the past. This process can speed up or slow down. This continuous transformation creates the continuous flow of time.

I am afraid your words appear to make no sense at all. "It can speed up or slow down". A strange claim not backed up with facts or experimental results

J. Zwarts(Netherlands):

Indeed do both observers see that the space ship passes the moon 410 times in one hour earth time.
But this does not mean that there is no time dilation.

At 0.97c the Lorentz factor gam is approximatly 4.
Between the passages of the moon the earth observer measures 8.64 sec.
The observer in the space ship measures on his clock 2.16 sec due to length contraction of his flight path.
Where the clock on earth runs 8.64 sec, the space ship's clock runs 2.16 sec.
As seen from earth the clock in the space ship runs slower, so time dilation.
Note: Their clocks are identical !

For me it means there is no real or proper time dilation, The time when the astronaut passes the moon equates for both. So in a Universe sense- the times cannot be different. And who cares what their watches tell them. My watch doesn't always correspond to the time on my mobile, The times they each see cannot automatically alter the time for the rest of us; for Universal time

Thanks Steve. We have chatted before. We seem to have very similar viewpoints. It's amazing how poor so much of modern physics is. Brian Cox is possibly the most annoying person in the field. Best wishes, C

Thank you, Mr. Tickner, for calling out the fake magicians. The flow of time has been set up long time ago and every timeslot in the day is already occupied. There is no room for their privileged time slot to expend into. Time dilation is hocus-pocus. Maybe they could create and market a board game with the idea.

Love your board game idea.
