• The problem of simultaneity

    From Richard Hachel@rh@tiscali.fr to sci.physics.relativity on Wed Oct 1 00:46:10 2025
    From Newsgroup: sci.physics.relativity

    One hundred and twenty years after Henri Poincar|-'s article, reading what
    is written today, we see that the problem of simultaneity hasn't
    progressed an inch.
    It would seem, sadly, that everyone continues to conceive of a universe as
    a rigid, flat Minkowski block, only posing "a few problems" if there are relative movements at high speed.
    Then we talk about time dilation.
    We then give some equations (some of which are wrong), and we don't
    explain anything at all.
    Albert Einstein did a great deal of harm to humanity by diverting
    Poincar|-'s theory rather than advancing it further.
    Certainly, his story about clock hands being set to a certain position at point A to record events at A, and those at B to record events at B is
    true. But it is completely ridiculous, because we are saying that a
    swallow is a swallow.
    The problem is the synchronization, not of events occurring near the
    clock, which we don't care about, since a swallow is a swallow, but of
    knowing what is happening elsewhere, and what the actual time is there;
    that is, whether the concept of the present moment is something flat,
    which he seems to assume without thinking. We see this very clearly when
    he assumes that the speed of light is constant (that is, the wave of the present moment) whether light (that is, information) is moving away or approaching.
    We then enter into a complete misunderstanding of the real structure of space-time, and we synchronize all the clocks not with each other, but
    with an abstract entity placed in a virtual spatial dimension, at an equal distance from all the 3D points of the universe we are studying. It then becomes completely impossible to conceive of what spacetime truly is, or
    its unique characteristics for each observer; and the most fundamental
    truths about it become so perplexing that when they are stated, they often elicit laughter.

    But it has a structure, hasn't it? R^4 with a metric ds^2 = x^2 + y^2 +
    z^2 - t^4 is a mathematical structure based on a bi-linear form.

    So, according to you, this structure is not "real".

    What would be a "real" structure then Maciej?

    For spacetime? Abstracts have no real structure.

    Not spacetime, but Minkowski spacetime.
    There is a space that we can perceive and measure, whether it is realistic
    or idealistic.
    There is a time that we can measure, whether it is idealistic or
    realistic.
    In both cases, we observe that the two are not entirely independent. There
    are relationships between space and time that we can prove and measure.
    Except that: these are not the relationships described by Minkowski, and
    his rigid, fixed block of spacetime does not exist. It is in this sense
    that I said that it is an abstraction, and a heavy, useless, and
    ridiculous concept to teach.
    Unfortunately, the human mind is such that it is very difficult to make
    people understand and accept something. It took centuries for people to understand that the earth was not flat; it will take them decades to understand that the Titanic never hit an iceberg; but that it simply broke
    in two in the middle of the ocean four days after its maiden voyage; it
    will take them centuries to understand that Allah is not God, and that one
    has to be a fool to impose this idea on people by threat and violence.
    It will take them many more years (I will be long dead by then) to
    understand the true structure of the universe and the equations that go
    with it; to understand what universal anisochrony is (the universal
    present time is not a flat concept) and why there is a dilation of the internal chronotropism of clocks (a second-order reciprocal effect), and
    why this reciprocity is not incoherent, since it is corrected by the
    primary mover of universal anisochrony and its first-order effect. Two synchronized watches, initially together, then separated by a distance of 3.10^8m, each traveling at 0.8c for one second, and then returning to
    their starting point, will each show only 1.2 seconds, not two seconds. It
    is logical to assume that if they don't show the same time as the
    stationary watch, at least the two moving watches, which moved in the same way, should show the same time relative to each other (otherwise it would
    be absurd). However, throughout their combined 1.2-second journey, their internal time dilation was always greater than that of the other watch
    which moved in the opposite direction along the same axis. This,
    admittedly, seems paradoxical and absurd. The explanation is simple. While
    it is true that the internal chronotropic effect has been correctly consideredrCoboth clocks run faster relative to each other (gamma effect = 1/sqrt(1-v-#/c-#))rCothe external longitudinal relativistic effect (the
    famous Hasse-Lorentz anisochrony) is systematically overlooked. This
    latter effect corrects the continuous internal effect related to velocity, ensuring that both clocks, having undergone the same process, will show
    the same time.
    This is logically and conceptually sound.
    One last point: The Minkowski spacetime diagram is so abstract and flawed
    that it fails to account for the real distortions of space, considering
    only a simple internal contraction of space of the gamma type.
    Here again, we must incorporate the longitudinal effect on distances and lengths into the analysis (a concept that confuses everyone, even the
    leading experts in relativity) and abandon the Minkowski framework to establish the true spatial metric, which is D'=D.sqrt(1-v-#/c-#)/(1+cos-|.v/c), and the true time measurement, t'=t(1+cos-|.v/c)/sqrt(1-v-#/c-#).
    Everything else is merely ignorance tinged with arrogance directed at
    those who attempt to explain things clearly, logically, and accurately.

    Well, yes, in a way.

    But we bring structure to spacetime, if we are somewhere within spacetime.

    This means:

    you can go where ever you like, but you are always somewhere and observe
    the world from there.

    This would serve as kind of 'cut', since some aspects of spacetime
    appear as stable and some don't.

    Those 'stable patterns' are what we call 'matter', while the moving
    aspects are, what we call 'radiation'.

    The nasty part:

    this distinction is not the same, if we move to somewhere else.

    So: matter could be recognized as radiation, if you watch from a
    different perspective (or vice versa).

    In effect we could enter an entirely different 'universe' if we could
    fly to a distant position far enough away.

    I use a different picture, because I don't like big-bang theory:

    The universe has actually no time, because time is a LOCAL measure.

    Your local time will always point into the future, but only into your
    LOCAL future!

    Other observers in other locations have a local future, too, but that
    can actually be your past.

    This is a rather strange assumption and violates some of our fundamental understandings.

    But it would allow an 'elegant' explanation for the existence of the
    universe itself and for what actually means 'eternal' and 'infinite'.

    It is a picture, which is somehow similar to a 'Klein bottle' and where
    time would 'fold back into itself'.

    This would allow a 'mirror world' which is full of anti-matter, where
    time runs backwards (from our perceptive).

    The universe itself has no beginning and no end.

    Not, because the distance between Moon and Earth is real valued.

    If you turn the axis of time upside down, this would be an 'imaginary rotation'.

    This would be a valid timeline, too, but in world, which is made from anti-matter.

    Such an 'anti-world' would be perfectly normal, though only for

    The best example is the photoelectric effect.

    In this case the electron and the photon are actually the same thing,
    while photons move and become 'electric' once the photon gets stopped.

    This movement is defined as an angle in the 'spacetime' picture.

    Once the electron is free from the atom, the relevant angle gets 45-#,
    which stands for c.

    If the photon is stopped by a metal plate, light ('radiation') becomes
    charge again.


    In effect we could enter an entirely different 'universe' if we could
    fly to a distant position far enough away.

    How far away is this other universe?

    The term 'far' isn't appropriate, because angles in spacetime are
    assumed to be complex rotations.

    Matter was in my model 'timelike stable patterns', hence with other
    timelines also other matter should show up.

    (In case of 'backwards time' I would expect 'anti-matter'.)

    But we bring structure to spacetime, if we are somewhere within
    spacetime.

    This means:

    you can go where ever you like, but you are always somewhere and
    observe the world from there.

    This would serve as kind of 'cut', since some aspects of spacetime
    appear as stable and some don't.

    Those 'stable patterns' are what we call 'matter', while the moving
    aspects are, what we call 'radiation'.

    The nasty part:

    this distinction is not the same, if we move to somewhere else.

    So: matter could be recognized as radiation, if you watch from a
    different perspective (or vice versa).

    Can you give a concrete example where an observer recognises
    'something' as matter and not as radiation and you, somewhere else,
    recognise the same 'something' as radiation and not as matter?


    The best example is the photoelectric effect.

    So one observer will recognises the ejected electrons as matter
    and not as radiation and you, somewhere else, will recognise
    the ejected as radiation and not as matter?

    This is of course mindless babble.

    I had the idea, that what we call 'matter' are actually 'timelike stable patterns'.

    So: since electrons are material objects, they need to be timelike stable.

    But how do electrons look like if they are not stable?

    Well, they would match the description of a photon.

    As empirical observation, which supports this claim I would use the 'photoelectric effect'. This effect means, that if you shine light upon
    a metal plate, it will become charged.

    That's why I think, that photons become electrons, if photons are
    stopped by a metal sheet.

    This 'become stopped' is a geometric relation in spacetime, because time
    in a spacetime diagram is an axis.

    If a certain structure moves as radiation, it has an (complex) angle of
    45-# towards the timeline.

    If it gets stopped, the angle is zero.

    Now both are king of 'helical screws', but the electron is 'the helix
    squeezed flat' and circles horizontally (if the axis of time is placed vertical).


    However, 'matter' is sometimes called radiation, but
    not EM-radiation.

    Example: radioactive beta radiation is high speed electrons.
    But the position of the observer holding the Geiger counter
    is irrelevant, beta radiation is radiation of matter whether
    you are on Earth or on the Moon.

    ???


    In this case the electron and the photon are actually the same thing,
    while photons move and become 'electric' once the photon gets stopped.

    When a photon hits a material, an electron may be ejected if
    the photon energy exceeds the electron's binding energy.


    That's what YOU think, not me.

    But a photon and an electron are not the same thing, and
    a photon doesn't become electrons when they are stopped.

    Well, possibly I'm wrong, but the photoelectric effect says something else.
    From whence do you get these ridiculous ideas? :-D

    Actually I wanted to connect QM and GR by a relatively simple method.

    I took spacetime of GR as real phyical entity and wanted to build the
    items of QM from spacetime.

    So matter had to be 'timelike stable' and 'relative'.

    This means, that matter is only matter for some class of observers,
    which share what I call a certain 'time domaine'.

    Others time domaines are possible and a change would alter the direction
    of the axis of time.

    (This could go as far as towards the opposite direction.)

    This axis of time defines a certain context, where matter needs to be
    stable to be actually matter.

    Then matter from other time domains is invisible or would be perceived
    as radiation.



    This movement is defined as an angle in the 'spacetime' picture.

    Once the electron is free from the atom, the relevant angle gets 45-#,
    which stands for c.

    If the photon is stopped by a metal plate, light ('radiation') becomes
    charge again.

    Could it be that your statements above are meaningless nonsense?

    In effect we could enter an entirely different 'universe' if we
    could fly to a distant position far enough away.

    How far away is this other universe?


    The term 'far' isn't appropriate, because angles in spacetime are
    assumed to be complex rotations.

    Could it be that your statement above is meaningless nonsense?


    Well, it was my assumption and based on the comparison of an Argand
    diagramm and a spacetime diagramm.

    So my assumption was, that spacetime needed to be composed of complex 'somethings'.

    My actual guess for 'somethings' were so called 'biquaterions' (aka
    'complex four-vectors').


    Matter was in my model 'timelike stable patterns', hence with other
    timelines also other matter should show up.

    (In case of 'backwards time' I would expect 'anti-matter'.)

    See here:

    https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Ur3_giuk2l439fxUa8QHX4wTDxBEaM6lOlgVUa0cFU4/edit?usp=sharing
    This is for sure meaningless nonsense.


    This was my own idea and meaningful for me.
    If you don't like it, than feel free to dislike it.

    But nature is like nature is and that will most likely not depend on you.

    Since you are not trying to defend your statement:

    . . you must have realised that it is meaningless nonsense.

    BTW, you have still not responded to the following:

    Does that mean that you have understood Einstein's
    definition of simultaneity?
    Or are you unable to read and understand it?

    Please read it, and if you find a logical error in
    Einst5ein's derivation, please point it out.

    -----------------------------------

    quote from -o 1. Definition of Simultaneity -------------------------------------------
    | we establish
    | by definition that the rCLtimerCY required by light to travel
    | from A to B equals the rCLtimerCY it requires to travel from
    | B to A."

    So in SR the speed of light is isotropic c by definition.

    This is a definition of simultaneity, se below.

    That two clocks are synchronous means that they
    simultaneously show the same.
    (This is the definition of "synchronous".)

    Einstein made 'an imaginary physical experiment':
    (a _thought experiment_)

    quote from -o 1. Definition of Simultaneity -------------------------------------------
    | "Let a ray of light start at the rCLA timerCY tA from A towards B,
    | let it at the rCLB timerCY tB be reflected at B in the direction
    | of A, and arrive again at A at the rCLA timerCY trC#A."

    tA is the time shown by the clock at A when the ray leave A.
    tB is the time shown by the clock at B when the ray hits B.
    t'A is the time shown by the clock at A when the reflected
    ray hits A.

    In a thought experiment measurements can be made with
    infinite precision, and we can sit at our desks and analyse it.

    The transit time is d/c where d is the distance between A and B.
    Let clock B be F ahead of clock A, where F is between 0 and
    a long time.

    We then have: tB = tA + d/c + F
    and: t'A = tB + d/c - F

    so: (tB - tA) = d/c + F
    (t'A - tB) = d/c - F

    If (tB - tA) = (t'A - tB) then (d/c + F) = (d/c - F),
    which is true only if F = 0,
    the clocks simultaneously show the same.

    This means:

    TB = (TA + d/c)
    When clock B shows TB clock A simultaneously
    shows (TA + d/c), which is the same.

    t'A = (tB + d/c)
    When clock A shows t'A clock B simultaneously
    shows (tB + d/c), which is the same.


    Thus:
    In accordance with definition the two clocks are synchronous if
    tB reA tA = trC#A reA tB.

    This is a logical consequence of the postulates of SR
    and that the speed of light is isotropic.

    Einstein's definition of simultaneity is mathematically
    consistent.

    This doesn't say anything about whether or not SR's
    predictions are in accordance with measurements.
    Only real experiments can do that.

    If the notion of simultaneity is relative (I'm not talking about
    chronotropy; everyone has accepted the idea
    that it is relative to the observers' speed of movement), I'm just talking about the notion of relativity of simultaneity by positional change (I am here, you are over there).
    What tells me (and experience proves the opposite if we understand the
    genesis of relativistic effects) that the notion of simultaneity of events
    is absolute and reciprocal for two observers placed in different
    locations, even if they are perfectly inertial to each other?
    This is what many physicists do not seem to accept, however. It's true
    that the idea is so counter-current that we haven't made any progress on
    it since 1905. We still believe that, for example, if a man beeps at me
    while he's 3.10^8 m away, and I receive his beep a second after I sent
    mine, then the two beeps were simultaneous.
    This is, essentially, reasoning like a Newtonian.
    And we don't understand AT ALL the very essence of this fantastic theory.

    the ejected as radiation and not as matter?

    This is of course mindless babble.

    I had the idea, that what we call 'matter' are actually 'timelike stable patterns'.

    So: since electrons are material objects, they need to be timelike stable.

    Electrons are 'matter'.


    But how do electrons look like if they are not stable?

    An electron and a positrons can annihilate to two gamma particles.
    But that doesn't happen in the photoelectric effect.

    Well, they would match the description of a photon.

    As empirical observation, which supports this claim I would use the 'photoelectric effect'. This effect means, that if you shine light upon
    a metal plate, it will become charged.

    Not necessarily. The metal that the light shines on will usually
    be part of an electric circuit which will keep the metal neutral.

    But let's start from the beginning.
    In a metal the electrons in the conduction band are not bound
    to any particular atom. There is a potential difference -a
    between the most energetic electrons in the conduction band
    and the surface of the metal. That means that the energy to lift
    the electron out of the metal is e-a. This energy is called the
    'work function' and is different for different metals.

    The energy of a photon is hf where h is Planck's constant
    and f is the frequency of the photon

    When a photon with energy hf = e-a hits the electron, the electron
    will be ejected from the metal with kinetic energy K = 0.
    If hf < e-a no electron is ejected. If hf > e-a then the kinetic
    energy of the ejected electron is: K = hf - e-a

    Concrete example: the work function for Cu is ree 5 eV ree 8e-19 J
    The lowest frequency f of the photon that will eject an electron is:
    f = e-a/h ree 1.2 PHz
    ++ = c/f ree 250 nm

    So the longest wavelength that will eject an electron in Cu
    is 250 nm, which is in the UV spectrum.'

    Visible light will not make electrons be ejected from copper.

    (After having read the rest of your post I now realise
    that you are utterly ignorant of the most basic physics,
    and will not be able to understand anything of the above.
    You do not even know what 'the conduction band' is, do you?)


    That's why I think, that photons become electrons, if photons are
    stopped by a metal sheet.

    You "think"! ROFL!

    You have heard about 'the photoelectric effect', but have no idea
    about what it is,

    So instead of looking up what 'the photoelectric effect' realty is,
    you "think" and dream up that in 'the photoelectric effect' photons
    become electrons.


    This 'become stopped' is a geometric relation in spacetime, because time
    in a spacetime diagram is an axis.

    If a certain structure moves as radiation, it has an (complex) angle of
    45-# towards the timeline.

    If it gets stopped, the angle is zero.

    Now both are king of 'helical screws', but the electron is 'the helix squeezed flat' and circles horizontally (if the axis of time is placed vertical).

    This is mindless nonsense.


    In this case the electron and the photon are actually the same thing,
    while photons move and become 'electric' once the photon gets stopped.


    When a photon hits a material, an electron may be ejected if
    the photon energy exceeds the electron's binding energy.


    That's what YOU think, not me.

    Right!
    'The photoelectric effect' is what I think it is, not what you think.


    But a photon and an electron are not the same thing, and
    a photon doesn't become electrons when they are stopped.

    Well, possibly I'm wrong, but the photoelectric effect says something else.

    You are not even wrong!

    What is void of meaning isn't even wrong.


    -aFrom whence do you get these ridiculous ideas? :-D

    Actually I wanted to connect QM and GR by a relatively simple method.

    I took spacetime of GR as real phyical entity and wanted to build the
    items of QM from spacetime.

    So matter had to be 'timelike stable' and 'relative'.

    This means, that matter is only matter for some class of observers,
    which share what I call a certain 'time domaine'.

    Others time domaines are possible and a change would alter the direction
    of the axis of time.

    (This could go as far as towards the opposite direction.)

    This axis of time defines a certain context, where matter needs to be
    stable to be actually matter.

    Then matter from other time domains is invisible or would be perceived
    as radiation.

    How is it possible to write so much meaningless nonsense
    without realising that it is just that?

    Or do you realise it?

    Now think about this phenomenon in 3D.

    Enough mindless nonsense.

    Let's revert to the real world.

    The subject line is: The problem of simultaneity.

    If you read and understand the following, your problem
    with simultaneity will be solved.

    But considering all the nonsense you have written,
    I doubt that you are able to understand the logic.

    But maybe you will surprise me?

    -----------------------------

    We start with this quote:

    quote from -o 1. Definition of Simultaneity -------------------------------------------
    | we establish
    | by definition that the rCLtimerCY required by light to travel
    | from A to B equals the rCLtimerCY it requires to travel from
    | B to A."

    Note that this statement imply that A and B are stationary
    relative to each other.

    This definition together with the two postulates of SR means:
    The speed of light is isotropic c by definition.

    This is a definition of simultaneity, see below.

    That two clocks are synchronous means that they
    simultaneously show the same.
    (This is the definition of "synchronous".)

    Einstein made 'an imaginary physical experiment':
    (That is a _thought experiment_)


    quote from -o 1. Definition of Simultaneity -------------------------------------------
    | "Let a ray of light start at the rCLA timerCY tA from A towards B,
    | let it at the rCLB timerCY tB be reflected at B in the direction
    | of A, and arrive again at A at the rCLA timerCY trC#A."

    tA is the time shown by the clock at A when the ray leave A.
    tB is the time shown by the clock at B when the ray hits B.
    t'A is the time shown by the clock at A when the reflected
    ray hits A.

    In a thought experiment measurements can be made with
    infinite precision, and we can sit at our desks and analyse it.

    The transit time is d/c where d is the distance between A and B.
    Let clock B be F ahead of clock A, where F is between 0 and
    a long time.

    We then have: tB = tA + d/c + F
    and: t'A = tB + d/c - F

    so: (tB - tA) = d/c + F
    (t'A - tB) = d/c - F

    If (tB - tA) = (t'A - tB) then (d/c + F) = (d/c - F),
    which is true only if F = 0,
    the clocks simultaneously show the same.

    This means:

    TB = (TA + d/c)
    When clock B shows TB clock A simultaneously
    shows (TA + d/c), which is the same.

    t'A = (tB + d/c)
    When clock A shows t'A clock B simultaneously
    shows (tB + d/c), which is the same.


    Thus:
    In accordance with definition the two clocks are synchronous if
    tB reA tA = trC#A reA tB.

    This is a logical consequence of the postulates of SR
    and that the speed of light is isotropic.

    Einstein's definition of simultaneity is mathematically
    consistent.

    This doesn't say anything about whether or not SR's
    predictions are in accordance with measurements.
    Only real experiments can do that.

    TH

    Yes.
    It's relativistic.
    But the problem is that it confuses everything, and it leads to nonsense
    if you take it a step too far.
    For example, Albert Einstein, who is considered a god, was unable to understand the difference between the relativity of chronotropy
    and the relativity of durations, which is what Dr. Richard Hachel, who is considered a crank, does.
    It's the history of humanity in real life.

    Let's take Langevin's traveler as an example; Hachel is very precise about
    the terms. On the traveler's return, for example, his chronotropy beats
    slower than that of the terrestrial traveler (as on the outward journey),
    but his watch nevertheless runs faster.

    It's impossible to understand as long as we act like an idiot and spit in Hachel's face, like all the idiots in the world do in many disciplines.
    They spit for the sake of spitting.

    Go explain to a guy like Python that the internal chronotropy
    of the other protagonist is less than that of the observer, but that this other protagonist's watch runs faster: the guy goes crazy.

    The guy doesn't understand anything anymore.

    So he starts insulting, mocking, defaming.

    He gets lost in the considerations of his little underpants.

    No, beause Einstein used (secretly) an absolute time and
    an absolute space in SRT.

    Consider the following scenario:
    Given an Euclidean space where the axes are called x, y and z.
    A is a point at x = 0, y = 0 and z = 0.
    B is a point at x = L, y = 0 and z = 0.
    Clock Ca is placed at A and another, equal clock Cb is at B.
    The two clocks simultaneously show the same; they are synchronous.
    An object is moving at constant speed from A to B.
    When the object is at A clock Ca shows t = ta.
    When the object is at B clock Cb shows t = tb.

    The time the object used to travel from A to B is +ot = tb - ta.
    The object was moving at the speed v = L/+ot = L/(tb - ta).

    Note that the above is equally true according Newtonian Mechanics
    and according to The Special Theory of Relativity (SRT).


    The use of Euclidean space in SRT defines also time as absolute measure.

    this is so because Euclidean space is meant as 'timeless'.

    Why does the fact that there is no 'time' in the metric
    ds-# = dx-# + dY-# + dz-# imply that the time +ot is 'absolute'?

    What does it mean that the time +ot is defined "as absolute measure"?


    This 'timeless' means, that time and geometry are treated as
    fundamentally distict entities.

    Of course time and space are fundamentally distinct entities.

    But what do you mean with the statement:
    "time and geometry are treated as fundamentally distinct entities"?

    Is this different from:
    "space and geometry are treated as fundamentally distinct entities"?

    or:
    "distance and geography are treated as fundamentally distinct entities"?

    Aren't all these statements rather stupid truisms, like
    "apples and vegetables are treated as fundamentally distinct entities"?


    This in turn would make time 'external' to space itself ('the universe').

    Time and space are fundamentally distinct entities.

    Of course 'time' isn't a part of 'space', so the statement:
    "time is 'internal' to space" is meaningless.

    And so is the statement: "time is 'external' to space".


    And as unlikely as you may think:

    Einstein's relativity theory isn't relativistic at all.

    "Not relative" is "absolute".

    In Newtonian Mechanics Galilean relativity applies,
    but SRT is absolute? :-D

    The time the object used to travel from A to B is +ot = tb - ta.
    The object was moving at the speed v = L/+ot = L/(tb - ta).

    Note that the above is equally true according Newtonian Mechanics(NM)
    and according to The Special Theory of Relativity (SR).

    So is there no difference between NM and SR?

    Of course it is.
    In NM the +ot is 'absolute' in the sense that it is independent
    of frames of reference.

    So what about SR?

    The metric below defines SR. So what can be deduced from this
    metric is what SR predicts. This is indisputable.

    (criad-a)-# = (criadt)-# reA dx-# reA dy-# reA dz-# (1) or:
    d-a-# = (1 reA (1/c-#)ria[(dx/dt)-# + (dy/dt)-# + (dz/dt)-#])dt-# (2)
    or:
    d-a = reU(1 reA v-#/c-#)dt (3)
    where v-# = (dx/dt)-# + (dy/dt)-# + (dz/dt)-#

    (1), (2) and (3) are the same metric.

    Let's calculate the proper time of a clock that is moving from
    the event E1: t = 0, x = 0, y = 0, z = 0
    to the Event E2: t = +ot, x = 0, y = 0, z = 0

    According to (3): v = 0
    -a = re2(from t=0 to t=+ot)dt = +ot

    But what would it be in the frame of reference K' (t',x',z') ?

    Note that the metric (1) is true for any frame of reference
    So:
    (criad-a)-# = (criadt')-# reAdx'-# reAdy'-# reAdz'-#
    and:
    (criad-a)-# = (criadt)-# reAdx-# reAdy-# reAdz-# = (criadt')-# reAdx'-# reAdy'-# reAdz'-#
    note:
    this does _not_ mean that t = t', x = x', y = y' and z = z'

    Let the origin of K' move along the positive x-axis of K
    with the speed v.
    The events E1 and E2 will then have the coordinates in K':
    E1: t' = 0, x' = 0, y' = 0, z' = 0
    E2: t' = +ot', x' = vriat', y' = 0, z' = 0

    Note that v = dx'/dt' and v-# = (dx'/dt')-#
    So according to (3):
    d-a = reU(1 reA v-#/c-#)dt'
    -a = re2(from t'=0 to t'= +ot') reU(1 reA v-#/c-#)dt' = reU(1 reA v-#/c-#)+ot'

    The proper time between two events is invariant
    so: -a = +ot = reU(1 reA v-#/c-#)+ot'

    The temporal interval between E1 and E2 is +ot in K
    The temporal interval between E1 and E2 is +ot/reU(1 reA v-#/c-#) in K'
    The temporal intervals between the same two events are
    different in K and K'.

    Temporal intervals between events are not absolute,
    they are frame dependent.
    (Note that +ot and +ot' are _not_ proper times.)



    The use of Euclidean space in SRT defines also time as absolute measure.

    this is so because Euclidean space is meant as 'timeless'.

    Why does the fact that there is no 'time' in the metric
    ds-# = dx-# + dY-# + dz-# imply that the time +ot is 'absolute'?

    It doesn't.
    In NM +ot is 'absolute' in the sense that it is invariant.
    In SR +ot is frame dependent, not 'an absolute measure'.

    Yes.
    It's relativistic.
    But the problem is that it confuses everything, and it leads to nonsense
    if you take it a step too far.
    For example, Albert Einstein, who is considered a god, was unable to understand the difference between the relativity of chronotropy
    and the relativity of durations, which is what Dr. Richard Hachel, who
    is considered a crank, does.
    It's the history of humanity in real life.

    Let's take Langevin's traveler as an example; Hachel is very precise
    about the terms. On the traveler's return, for example, his chronotropy beats slower than that of the terrestrial traveler (as on the outward journey), but his watch nevertheless runs faster.


    I would use other words, but actually had the same impression of
    Einstein's text.

    I meant that time is always an interval, while Einstein thought about
    time as linear and countable.

    But usually we use some starting point as reference, while often that
    isn't mentioned.

    What makes no sense, that are terms like 'bestimmte |ara' (certain era), because eras are not numbered.

    Also this concept of 'linear time' (embedded in 'big-bang theory') is
    most likely wrong.

    Einstein also used 'external time', which is similar to Newtons
    'absolute time', while didn't use Poincare's 'local time'.

    So, in my opinion SRT isn't 'relativistic' enough.

    When the object is at B clock Cb shows t = tb.

    The time the object used to travel from A to B is +ot = tb - ta.
    The object was moving at the speed v = L/+ot = L/(tb - ta).

    Note that the above is equally true according Newtonian Mechanics
    and according to The Special Theory of Relativity (SRT).


    The clock at point 'A' should show 'A-time', which is the local time at
    point A.

    Same with point B and 'B-time'.

    But those time measures are local to A and B (and do not necessary run
    into the same direction at all possible points).

    That remote location uses the same time, which runs into the same
    direction and makes clocks tick at the same rate, that is an assumption.

    But this assumption also means, that all clocks in all the universe
    would run into the same direction and make clocks tick at the same rate.

    THAT is actually 'Newton's absolute time', which is 'external' (kind of
    'God's clock').

    But if time isn't external, then time had to be restricted to the

    This would allow the observer at point 'A' (for instance) to declare

    Not delta(t), of course, but time t itself.

    Without some 'absolute time t' you could hardly use delta(t), because
    that wouldn't make sense, if you have no time t to beginn with.

    This 'timeless' means, that time and geometry are treated as
    fundamentally distict entities.

    Of course time and space are fundamentally distinct entities.


    Not just because you say so!

    I wanted to show, that a spacetime diagram could be treated as complex
    valued plain.

    Then time would become imaginary and the real axes real.

    Now we could take the axis of time and rotate it (in our mind only, of course).

    Then another axis would become the new axis of time with new orthogonal
    real axes of a space, which is also filled with new matter.

    Even if the concept is mathematically very simple, it is totally counter-intuitive.

    The time the object used to travel from A to B is +ot = tb - ta.
    The object was moving at the speed v = L/+ot = L/(tb - ta).

    Note that the above is equally true according Newtonian Mechanics
    and according to The Special Theory of Relativity (SRT).

    So is there no difference between NM and SR?

    Of course it is.
    In NM the +ot is 'absolute' in the sense that it is independent
    of frames of reference.

    So what about SR?

    The metric below defines SR. So what can be deduced from this
    metric is what SR predicts. This is indisputable.

    (criad-a)-# = (criadt)-# reA dx-# reA dy-# reA dz-# (1) or:
    d-a-# = (1 reA (1/c-#)ria[(dx/dt)-# + (dy/dt)-# + (dz/dt)-#])dt-# (2)
    or:
    d-a = reU(1 reA v-#/c-#)dt (3)
    where v-# = (dx/dt)-# + (dy/dt)-# + (dz/dt)-#

    (1), (2) and (3) are the same metric.

    Let's calculate the proper time of a clock that is moving from
    the event E1: t = 0, x = 0, y = 0, z = 0
    to the Event E2: t = +ot, x = 0, y = 0, z = 0

    According to (3): v = 0
    -a = re2(from t=0 to t=+ot)dt = +ot

    But what would it be in the frame of reference K' (t',x',z') ?

    Note that the metric (1) is true for any frame of reference
    So:
    (criad-a)-# = (criadt')-# reAdx'-# reAdy'-# reAdz'-#
    and:
    (criad-a)-# = (criadt)-# reAdx-# reAdy-# reAdz-# = (criadt')-# reAdx'-# reAdy'-# reAdz'-#
    note:
    this does _not_ mean that t = t', x = x', y = y' and z = z'

    Let the origin of K' move along the positive x-axis of K
    with the speed v.
    The events E1 and E2 will then have the coordinates in K':
    E1: t' = 0, x' = 0, y' = 0, z' = 0
    E2: t' = +ot', x' = vriat', y' = 0, z' = 0

    Note that v = dx'/dt' and v-# = (dx'/dt')-#
    So according to (3):
    d-a = reU(1 reA v-#/c-#)dt'
    -a = re2(from t'=0 to t'= +ot') reU(1 reA v-#/c-#)dt' = reU(1 reA v-#/c-#)+ot'

    The proper time between two events is invariant
    so: -a = +ot = reU(1 reA v-#/c-#)+ot'

    The temporal interval between E1 and E2 is +ot in K
    The temporal interval between E1 and E2 is +ot/reU(1 reA v-#/c-#) in K'
    The temporal intervals between the same two events are
    different in K and K'.

    Temporal intervals between events are not absolute,
    they are frame dependent.
    (Note that +ot and +ot' are _not_ proper times.)

    wrong again, before that you have to have another clock registering the timestamps, here the seconds.

    If we are only interested in durations, we may choose to use a clock we
    can set to zero at any time.

    lol, a duration implies having an oscillator with a given resolution. Go
    study clock signals, timing of control signals, data, addresses,

    One would expect that everybody would understand the above,
    but voala:


    The clock at point 'A' should show 'A-time', which is the local time at
    point A.

    Same with point B and 'B-time'.

    But those time measures are local to A and B (and do not necessary run
    into the same direction at all possible points).

    Which planet do you live on? :-D

    On Earth, say in your living room, we have two stationary
    clocks a distance L from each other.

    These two clocks are equal, which means that
    they run at the same rate.

    These two clocks simultaneously show the same,
    they are synchronous.

    you need light to synchronous...no one knows what the speed of light
    is since both clocks are not in a ...vacumn.


    Do you seriously claim that this is impossible because
    "those time measures are local to A and B (and do not necessary
    run into the same direction at all possible points).



    That remote location uses the same time, which runs into the same
    direction and makes clocks tick at the same rate, that is an assumption.

    But this assumption also means, that all clocks in all the universe
    would run into the same direction and make clocks tick at the same rate.

    THAT is actually 'Newton's absolute time', which is 'external' (kind of
    'God's clock').

    But if time isn't external, then time had to be restricted to the
    location in question.

    This would allow the observer at point 'A' (for instance) to declare
    himself to be at rest and everything else as moving.

    But that observer would need to consider, that all other observers could
    do the same, but with other time-measures.
    Why are you stating all this irrelevant nonsense?

    Not even you can be so ignorant and stupid that you don't
    understand the following scenario:

    Remember, this scenario happens in the real world.
    Read it again and allow your self think!

    Consider the following scenario:

    The metric below defines SR. So what can be deduced from this

    (c?d?)# = (c?dt)# ? dx# ? dy# ? dz# (1)
    or:

    or:
    d? = ?(1 ? v#/c#)dt (3)
    where v# = (dx/dt)# + (dy/dt)# + (dz/dt)#

    (1), (2) and (3) are the same metric.

    Let's calculate the proper time of a clock that is moving from
    the event E1: t = 0, x = 0, y = 0, z = 0
    to the Event E2: t = ?t, x = 0, y = 0, z = 0

    According to (3): v = 0
    ? = ?(from t=0 to t=?t)dt = ?t

    But what would it be in the frame of reference K' (t',x',z') ?

    Note that the metric (1) is true for any frame of reference
    So:
    (c?d?)# = (c?dt')# ?dx'# ?dy'# ?dz'#
    and:
    (c?d?)# = (c?dt)# ?dx# ?dy# ?dz# = (c?dt')# ?dx'# ?dy'# ?dz'#
    note:
    this does _not_ mean that t = t', x = x', y = y' and z = z'

    Let the origin of K' move along the positive x-axis of K
    with the speed v.
    The events E1 and E2 will then have the coordinates in K':
    E1: t' = 0, x' = 0, y' = 0, z' = 0
    E2: t' = ?t', x' = v?t', y' = 0, z' = 0

    Note that v = dx'/dt' and v# = (dx'/dt')#
    So according to (3):
    d? = ?(1 ? v#/c#)dt'
    ? = ?(from t'=0 to t'= ?t') ?(1 ? v#/c#)dt' = ?(1 ? v#/c#)?t'

    The proper time between two events is invariant
    so: ? = ?t = ?(1 ? v#/c#)?t'

    The temporal interval between E1 and E2 is ?t in K
    The temporal interval between E1 and E2 is ?t/?(1 ? v#/c#) in K'
    The temporal intervals between the same two events are
    different in K and K'.

    Temporal intervals between events are not absolute,
    they are frame dependent.
    (Note that ?t and ?t' are _not_ proper times.)

    in a way..

    Since nature does not provide little calendars, we have no 'absolute

    The 'big-bang' was actually assumed to provide such a zero point in
    time. But the big-bang-theory is most likely wrong.

    Therefore, the universe does not have a beginning in some sort of
    explosion and also does not provide 'linear' (calendar like) timelines.

    The 'real deal' is actually complicated and so counter-intuitiv, that
    not too many people understand this idea.


    You should think about the axis of time as imaginary and the axes of
    space as real.

    But both are more or less the same and the axis of time could be rotated
    into space by a multiplication with i.

    This would create the impression of a 'big-bang'.

    But that isn't creating an entirely new universe, but a new subset of
    the real universe, which we cannot see.


    What the display on a 'clock' shows is a 'point in time'.

    I can say that the 'time' now is October 13, 2025, 14:34:32 CET
    That's 'a point in time'.

    No: a point in time is also a duration, but where the reference point (=
    the beginning of the interval) is assumed to be known already.

    But usually we use some starting point as reference, while often that
    isn't mentioned.

    The 'starting point' is obviously 'the point in time' at
    the beginning of the duration in question.

    If we are only interested in durations, we may choose to

    Sure, that's correct.

    To treat time as a coordinate is a VERY bad idea!


    This is so, because with 'coordinates' we usually mean positions in space.

    But time does not define a position in space.

    Actually time values do not define 'positions' in time , neither.

    The problem with your assumption is, that you would need to define a
    zero point in time and can't do that.

    Actually the so called 'big-bang-theory' was meant to provide just that,
    but is most likely wrong.

    Not only did it come from a catholic priest, who wanted to make 1. book
    of Genesis 'scientific', but it's also quite illogic.

    Therefore, the (real) universe is not expanding from a certain
    beginning, but a visible subset is.

    The 'real universe' is mainly invisible, hence we cannot know, whether

    Let's take Langevin's traveler as an example; Hachel is very precise

    This is so, because with 'coordinates' we usually mean positions in space.

    By "coordinates" we usually mean a tuple of (usually continuous) functions
    from elements of a some spece (the physical space or spacetime or some
    abstract mathematical space) or a part of one with the property that
    the tuple of the values of those functions for one point identifies the

    Since I'm the only expert on earth regarding Before the big bang...

    the "starting point" can easily be measured.

    The stars are the measuring points in space.

    Each star is a point in space.

    You can start with the big dipper and the little dipper which were
    around since the beginning of the big bang, (and before).

    How do you measure the starting point? You need to
    reverse einginneer all the points in the sky (space).

    When you accomplish that...
    you will find all the stars evenly
    distributed in the form of a ...grid.

    I snap my fingers now.
    This is a event.
    An event happens at one point in time, and one point in space.
    An event doesn't move in space or time.
    Four entities must be used to define an event.
    It is common to call these four entities coordinates.
    So we have four coordinates, one temporal, three spatial.
    (temporal = related to time, spatial = related to space)

    But the spatial coordinate system, and the time coordinate
    must be defined, they are not given by nature.

    I choose to use the Earth fixed Geographic coordinate system,
    so the spatial coordinates are latitude (lat), longitude (long)
    and altitude (alt)

    I choose to use the Gregorian calendar and UTC for the time coordinate.

    So the coordinates of my finger snap are:
    t = 2025-10-15, 09:52:31 UTC
    lat = 58rU# 19' 41"
    long = 8rU# 34' 06"
    alt = 37m

    We are however free to use other temporal and spatial coordinates.
    But they must be precisely defined.

    The problem with your assumption is, that you would need to define a
    zero point in time and can't do that.

    Which planet do you live at?

    Have you never, here on Earth, had a date with your dentist?
    Did he ask you to meet at a 'point in time, or in some duration?
    Did he say: "meet at my office in 54 hours and 37 minutes", or
    did he say: "meet at my office at, e.g. September 13. 2025 14:30" ?
    (where 14:30 is in the local time zone based on UTC)

    If you said to your dentist that it was impossible to meet
    at September 13. 2025 14:30, because "the zero point is not defined",
    he would probably consider you to be an idiot.

    What the display on a 'clock' shows is a 'point in time'.

    I can say that the 'time' now is October 13, 2025, 14:34:32 CET

    If I left my home at-a-a t1 = October 13, 2025, 7:05:10 CET
    and arrived at work at t2 = October 13, 2025, 7:59:50 CET
    Then I can say that the 'time' I used to walk to work today
    was 54 minutes and 40 seconds.-a (+ot = t2 - t1)
    That's a duration (or 'interval').

    So "time" can be both 'a point in time' and a duration.

    No: a point in time is also a duration, but where the reference point (=
    the beginning of the interval) is assumed to be known already.
    You _know_ that we in the western world specifies "points in time"
    with the Gregorian calendar and the time zones based on UTC.


    If we are only interested in durations, we may choose to
    use a clock we can set to zero at any time.

    We are free to choose our time scale any way we want.
    But it must be precisely defined, it is not 'given by nature'.

    Gregorian calendar and time zones based on UTC is
    what 'everybody' uses in their everyday life.

    You use your wristwatch to meet at work at the right
    'point in time', don't you?

    But for scientific work, we will probably use other definitions of
    our time.

    Se example below.

    ---------------------------------

    Is there any particular reason why you haven't
    responded to the following?

    Not even you can be so ignorant and stupid that you don't
    understand the following scenario:

    Remember, this scenario happens in the real world.
    Read it again and allow your self think!

    Consider the following scenario:
    Given an Euclidean space where the axes are called x, y and z.
    A is a point at x = 0, y = 0 and z = 0.
    B is a point at x = L, y = 0 and z = 0.
    Clock Ca is placed at A and another, equal clock Cb is at B.
    The two clocks simultaneously show the same; they are synchronous.
    An object is moving at constant speed from A to B.
    When the object is at A clock Ca shows t = ta.
    When the object is at B clock Cb shows t = tb.

    At t = ta, object O at A

    Ca = ta Cb = ta
    A B
    -|---------------------------|---------> x
    0 L
    O


    At t = tb, object O at B

    Ca = tb Cb = tb
    A B
    -|---------------------------|---------> x
    0 L
    O
    In case your editor clutters up the figure:
    https://paulba.no/temp/Fig1.pdf


    The time the object used to travel from A to B is +ot = tb - ta.
    The object was moving at the speed v = L/+ot = L/(tb - ta).

    Note that the above is equally true according Newtonian Mechanics
    and according to The Special Theory of Relativity (SRT).

    So is there no difference between NM and SR?

    Of course it is.
    In NM the +ot is 'absolute' in the sense that it is independent
    of frames of reference.

    So what about SR?

    The metric below defines SR. So what can be deduced from this
    metric is what SR predicts. This is indisputable.

    (criad-a)-# = (criadt)-# reA dx-# reA dy-# reA dz-# (1) or:
    d-a-# = (1 reA (1/c-#)ria[(dx/dt)-# + (dy/dt)-# + (dz/dt)-#])dt-# (2)
    or:
    d-a = reU(1 reA v-#/c-#)dt (3)
    where v-# = (dx/dt)-# + (dy/dt)-# + (dz/dt)-#

    (1), (2) and (3) are the same metric.

    Let's calculate the proper time of a clock that is moving from
    the event E1: t = 0, x = 0, y = 0, z = 0
    to the Event E2: t = +ot, x = 0, y = 0, z = 0

    According to (3): v = 0
    -a = re2(from t=0 to t=+ot)dt = +ot

    But what would it be in the frame of reference K' (t',x',z') ?

    Note that the metric (1) is true for any frame of reference
    So:
    (criad-a)-# = (criadt')-# reAdx'-# reAdy'-# reAdz'-#
    and:
    (criad-a)-# = (criadt)-# reAdx-# reAdy-# reAdz-# = (criadt')-# reAdx'-# reAdy'-# reAdz'-#
    note:
    this does _not_ mean that t = t', x = x', y = y' and z = z'

    Let the origin of K' move along the positive x-axis of K
    with the speed v.
    The events E1 and E2 will then have the coordinates in K':
    E1: t' = 0, x' = 0, y' = 0, z' = 0
    E2: t' = +ot', x' = vriat', y' = 0, z' = 0

    Note that v = dx'/dt' and v-# = (dx'/dt')-#
    So according to (3):
    d-a = reU(1 reA v-#/c-#)dt'
    -a = re2(from t'=0 to t'= +ot') reU(1 reA v-#/c-#)dt' = reU(1 reA v-#/c-#)+ot'

    The proper time between two events is invariant
    so: -a = +ot = reU(1 reA v-#/c-#)+ot'

    The temporal interval between E1 and E2 is +ot in K
    The temporal interval between E1 and E2 is +ot/reU(1 reA v-#/c-#) in K'
    The temporal intervals between the same two events are
    different in K and K'.

    Temporal intervals between events are not absolute,
    they are frame dependent.
    (Note that +ot and +ot' are _not_ proper times.)

    I choose to use the Earth fixed Geographic coordinate system,

    I choose to use the Gregorian calendar and UTC for the time coordinate.

    So the coordinates of my finger snap are:

    We are however free to use other temporal and spatial coordinates.
    But they must be precisely defined.

    The problem with your assumption is, that you would need to define a

    Which planet do you live at?

    Have you never, here on Earth, had a date with your dentist?
    Did he ask you to meet at a 'point in time, or in some duration?
    Did he say: "meet at my office in 54 hours and 37 minutes", or
    did he say: "meet at my office at, e.g. September 13. 2025 14:30" ?
    (where 14:30 is in the local time zone based on UTC)

    If you said to your dentist that it was impossible to meet
    at September 13. 2025 14:30, because "the zero point is not defined",
    he would probably consider you to be an idiot.

    Would he be right?>
    Actually the so called 'big-bang-theory' was meant to provide just that,
    but is most likely wrong.

    Not only did it come from a catholic priest, who wanted to make 1. book

    Therefore, the (real) universe is not expanding from a certain

    At leat we cannot measure the beginning and that would make the use of

    Why are you babbling all this nonsense?

    Yes.
    It's relativistic.
    But the problem is that it confuses everything, and it leads to
    nonsense if you take it a step too far.
    For example, Albert Einstein, who is considered a god, was unable
    to understand the difference between the relativity of chronotropy
    and the relativity of durations, which is what Dr. Richard Hachel,
    who is considered a crank, does.
    It's the history of humanity in real life.

    Let's take Langevin's traveler as an example; Hachel is very
    precise about the terms. On the traveler's return, for example, his >>>>> chronotropy beats slower than that of the terrestrial traveler (as
    on the outward journey), but his watch nevertheless runs faster.


    I would use other words, but actually had the same impression of
    Einstein's text.

    I meant that time is always an interval, while Einstein thought
    about time as linear and countable.

    But usually we use some starting point as reference, while often
    that isn't mentioned.

    What makes no sense, that are terms like 'bestimmte |ara' (certain
    era), because eras are not numbered.

    Also this concept of 'linear time' (embedded in 'big-bang theory')
    is most likely wrong.

    Einstein also used 'external time', which is similar to Newtons
    'absolute time', while didn't use Poincare's 'local time'.

    So, in my opinion SRT isn't 'relativistic' enough.

    The problem with the word "time" (and many other words) is that in
    Common Language it is used for many different meanings. When clearer
    expression is desired different words should be used for different
    meanings. Often, and in particular for discussing physics, it is
    best to restrict the meaning of "time" when used as a nout to
    expressions that can be used as an answer to the questions that ask
    when someting happens, i.e., values of a time coordinate of an event.
    The word "duration" can be used for difference of two times. But even
    in physics discussions it is usually assumed that the participants can
    understand from context which of the multiple meanings of "time" is
    used.

    To treat time as a coordinate is-a a VERY bad idea!

    This is so, because with 'coordinates' we usually mean positions in
    space.

    By "coordinates" we usually mean a tuple of (usually continuous) functions from elements of a some spece (the physical space or spacetime or some abstract mathematical space) or a part of one with the property that
    the tuple of the values of those functions for one point identifies the point.


    Actually we mean the entries of a tupel with 'coordinates'.

    The tupels themselves are mostly vectors.


    It is also not a very good idea to confuse mathematical and physical spaces.

    With 'physical space' we usually adress 'the universe' or something similar.

    But we could make a vector out of a coordinate very easily, if we create
    a tupel, that has only one non-zero entry.

    This is allowed in physical space only for three coordinates, while time
    has only one entry.

    Since we have only one time position available (in a four-tupel), we
    cannot treat time as a coordinate of physical space (because three
    positions of a four-tupel are already occupied by the three real axes of space).

    To solve this issue and to allow time to be threedimensional, too, I had
    the suggestion to use bi-quaternions.

    Then time is locally imaginary and remains imaginary, even if the entire system is rotated.

    Then 'space' would become 'time dependent' and matter filling that
    space, too.

    Since I'm the only expert on earth regarding Before the big bang...

    the "starting point" can easily be measured.

    The stars are the measuring points in space.

    Each star is a point in space.

    This is wrong, because what we call 'stars' are actually points within
    our own home galaxy.

    Such points are not even stable with respect to our own galaxy, be our
    galaxy moves, too.


    You can start with the big dipper and the little dipper which were
    around since the beginning of the big bang, (and before).

    I would regard the so called 'big-bang' as a 'white hole'.

    A 'white hole' is kind of 'back-side' of a black hole.

    Since the white side follows the black-hole-side in time, we could say:

    the 'big-bang' is the temporal future of the 'big crunch'.


    Now: this 'temporal order' is not THE order, but only one possible
    (temporal) order (out of many).

    This means, that 'big bang' is actually 'relative' and dependent on our
    own axis of time.

    From this would follow, that we cannot even regard 'big bang' as an
    absolute anchor in time, because every possible universe would have an
    own 'big bang' which all are different.

    How do you measure the starting point? You need to
    reverse einginneer all the points in the sky (space).

    Sure, but we cann't, because we can only see into our own past-light-cone.

    The 'real space' is mainly invisible.

    Sure, but we could actually use all the other Popes, too, and could use

    So: UTC is just one selection from a plethora of possibilities.



    If we are only interested in durations, we may choose to
    use a clock we can set to zero at any time.

    We are free to choose our time scale any way we want.
    But it must be precisely defined, it is not 'given by nature'.

    Gregorian calendar and time zones based on UTC is
    what 'everybody' uses in their everyday life.

    No, that is absolutely not true.

    We have actually several time systems in use today.

    Among the more important ones are the calendars of the Jews and the Muslims.


    You use your wristwatch to meet at work at the right
    'point in time', don't you?

    Well, sometimes.

    Most of the time I use actually a different kind of clocks, which are
    based upon a timing signal, which gets broadcasted by some agency in
    Germany.>
    But for scientific work, we will probably use other definitions of
    our time.

    Sure, but not because our needs are higher, but because time has nothing
    to do with clocks.

    Tell me, BTW, poor stinker - we have twins.
    They were born 2125-10-16. One of them

    returned 2165-10-16 (from the point of

    from start to landing, is the date
    of landing 2060-10-16 "from his point

    A typo -I meant 2160-10-16, of course.

    The problem with the word "time" (and many other words) is that in

    meanings. Often, and in particular for discussing physics, it is

    To treat time as a coordinate is a VERY bad idea!


    This is so, because with 'coordinates' we usually mean positions in space. >>>
    But time does not define a position in space.

    Actually time values do not define 'positions' in time , neither.

    The problem with your assumption is, that you would need to define a
    zero point in time and can't do that.

    Actually the so called 'big-bang-theory' was meant to provide just that, >>> but is most likely wrong.

    Not only did it come from a catholic priest, who wanted to make 1. book
    of Genesis 'scientific', but it's also quite illogic.

    Therefore, the (real) universe is not expanding from a certain
    beginning, but a visible subset is.

    The 'real universe' is mainly invisible, hence we cannot know, whether
    or not it had a beginning.

    At leat we cannot measure the beginning and that would make the use of
    such a startig point in time next to impossible.


    TH


    Since I'm the only expert on earth regarding Before the big bang...

    the "starting point" can easily be measured.

    The stars are the measuring points in space.

    Each star is a point in space.

    This is wrong, because what we call 'stars' are actually points within
    our own home galaxy.

    Such points are not even stable with respect to our own galaxy, be our >galaxy moves, too.


    You can start with the big dipper and the little dipper which were
    around since the beginning of the big bang, (and before).

    I would regard the so called 'big-bang' as a 'white hole'.

    A 'white hole' is kind of 'back-side' of a black hole.

    Since the white side follows the black-hole-side in time, we could say:

    the 'big-bang' is the temporal future of the 'big crunch'.


    Now: this 'temporal order' is not THE order, but only one possible >(temporal) order (out of many).

    This means, that 'big bang' is actually 'relative' and dependent on our
    own axis of time.

    From this would follow, that we cannot even regard 'big bang' as an
    absolute anchor in time, because every possible universe would have an
    own 'big bang' which all are different.

    How do you measure the starting point? You need to
    reverse einginneer all the points in the sky (space).

    Sure, but we cann't, because we can only see into our own past-light-cone.

    The 'real space' is mainly invisible.

    ...


    TH

    When you reverse einginneer all the points in the sky (space)...you
    enter our own past-light-cone.

    The 'real space' is not invisible...a fish space is ...wet.

    'real space' is a very dark blue color...and it's also wet.

    it has...waves.

    That's a duration (or 'interval').

    No: a point in time is also a duration, but where the reference point
    (= the beginning of the interval) is assumed to be known already.

    Sure, but we could actually use all the other Popes, too, and could use >their calendars, if we wished to do that.

    So: UTC is just one selection from a plethora of possibilities.



    If we are only interested in durations, we may choose to
    use a clock we can set to zero at any time.

    We are free to choose our time scale any way we want.
    But it must be precisely defined, it is not 'given by nature'.

    Gregorian calendar and time zones based on UTC is
    what 'everybody' uses in their everyday life.

    No, that is absolutely not true.

    We have actually several time systems in use today.

    Among the more important ones are the calendars of the Jews and the Muslims.


    You use your wristwatch to meet at work at the right
    'point in time', don't you?

    Well, sometimes.

    Most of the time I use actually a different kind of clocks, which are
    based upon a timing signal, which gets broadcasted by some agency in >Germany.>
    But for scientific work, we will probably use other definitions of
    our time.

    Sure, but not because our needs are higher, but because time has nothing
    to do with clocks.

    what? if you ask someone "What time do you have?", don't you expect
    them to look at their clock????

    Yes.
    It's relativistic.
    But the problem is that it confuses everything, and it leads to

    To treat time as a coordinate is-a a VERY bad idea!

    This is so, because with 'coordinates' we usually mean positions in space. >>
    By "coordinates" we usually mean a tuple of (usually continuous) functions >> from elements of a some spece (the physical space or spacetime or some
    abstract mathematical space) or a part of one with the property that
    the tuple of the values of those functions for one point identifies the
    point.

    Actually we mean the entries of a tupel with 'coordinates'.

    Yes, but only if the functions together form a coordinate system.

    The tupels themselves are mostly vectors.

    Although it is possible to consider them as vectors in some vector
    space that is not useful for their use as coordinates. In some
    geometries (but not all) the difference of two points is a good
    vector and it is possible to have a coordinate system where the
    componets of that vector can be calculated from the coodinates
    interpreted as vector components.
