Time Dilation Experiments

[Ed Lake]

Over the years, I've accumulated a list of 12 major Time Dilation
experiments which CONFIRM that Time Dilation is REAL, and that
time does run at different rates for an object depending upon an
object's speed and its proximity to a gravitational mass.

Here's the link: http://www.ed-lake.com/Time-Dilation-Experiments.html

Here's the list of experiments:
1. Hafele-Keating
2. NIST Optical Clocks and Relativity
3. Geodesy and Metrology experiment (measuring altitude by time difference)
4. Muon experiments
5. University of Maryland
6. Japanese Mitaka to Norikura
7. Briatore and Leschiutta
8. National Physical Laboratory - 1996
9. Van Baak - 2005
10. National Physical Laboratory - 2010
11. Van Baak - 2016
12. Tokyo Skytree - 2020

Is there anyone here who seriously claims that Time Dilation
has NOT been fully verified by these experiments?

What you have not realized, for years now, is that "time dilation" is a comparison between two clocks A and B. For instance, in the Tokio Skytree experiment (testing the gravitational redshift) the comparison was between a clock at the top of the 450 m tower and a clock located at the base of the tower. Hafele Keating compared the elapsed time of flying atomic clocks with the elapsed time of the ground not moving atomic clock.

Therefore, your assertion "time does run at different rates for an object depending upon an object's speed and its proximity to a gravitational mass" is at the very least incomplete.

A more complete expression is:

Time dilation is the difference in the elapsed time between events, as measured by two clocks. It is either due to a relative velocity between them (special relativistic "kinetic" time dilation) or to a difference in gravitational potential between their locations (general relativistic gravitational time dilation).

Hmm. I disagree with that. Time dilation is a difference in the RATE OF TIME at
two different locations. A "difference in elapsed time" is not time dilation. It is
the RESULT of time dilation when measuring "elapsed time" in two different locations
where speed and/or gravity are different.

Wrong, since to compare two clocks you have to either have both clocks (the stationary and the moving clock) at the same place and time (like Hafele Keating) or have one clock sending signals to the other clock (like the Tokio tower experiments). In both cases, the comparison is made only at one location.

But, I suppose you'll find some fault with that wording, too.

Words have meanings. The usual way of performing time dilation experiments, like Hafele-Keating, is:

1) Syncronize the clocks. To do that you have to have both clocks A and B, at the same location in space and time.
2) Move clock B to a certain place, at a certain speed and then return to meet again clock A.
3) At the location of clock A, compare the elapsed times of both clocks A and B. The clock B will show less elapsed time than clock A. That indicates clock B experienced time dilation while moving.

I explained a hundred times what was really going on.

The problem is that we live in a crazy world.

And that in this world, everyone contaminates everyone (including the
greatest physicists themselves) and that everyone believes they are
authorized to play the puppet.

What saddens me here, on the other hand, is that the question is extremely
well put, but that no one in the world, himis me, knows how to answer it
without answering the wrong way.

I recall the question:

1) Syncronize the clocks. To do that you have to have both clocks A and
B, at
the same location in space and time.

ABSOLUTLY.

2) Move clock B to a certain place, at a certain speed and then return to
meet
again clock A.

ABSOLUTLY.

3) At the location of clock A, compare the elapsed times of both clocks A
and B.

Absolutly. Exemple v=0.8c. A=30 seconds. B=18 sec.

Post by Ed Lake
The clock B will show less elapsed time than clock A.

Here is the dramatic conceptual error.

Post by Ed Lake
That indicates clock B experienced time dilation while moving.

No. Time elasticity. Not dilation. It is not the same concept.

When the watches move away, they reciprocally turn less quickly.

BUT when they approach each other they really turn faster.

That's what I've been trying to explain to physicists for decades, and
that's what they seem unable to understand.

The t'=t/sqrt(1-v²/c²) equation is false.

It is not the same thing to approach a watch and to move away from it
(explanation by the relativistic Doppler effect).

What I have an infinite difficulty in making physicists understand is
that this longitudinal Doppler effect is NOT a visual effect, but a real
effect.

On the way to the watch:
1. For A: A spins for 27 seconds, while B spins for 9 seconds. This is
REAL. There is NO apparent Doppler effect. The Doppler effect is real.

2. For B. B obviously spins by 9 seconds (otherwise it's nonsense), but
she sees A actually spin by only 3 seconds.
This effect is NOT a Doppler effect (I say it again, and say it again).
It's real.

On return.
A spins for only 3 seconds and sees B arrive, which spins in 9 seconds.

B spins in 9 seconds, and sees A who REALLY spins 27 seconds.

Everything is played in direct vision.

There is no speed of light to consider.

The speed of approach of light is always infinite in the longitudinal
direction.

And that, I'm not sure we can hear quickly.

The problem comes from there, and all the paradoxes and actual
misunderstandings come from there.

Nooo!
The problem is not there.
The problem, I repeat it, it is that the men think that when one observes
a body moving at relativistic speed, his time passes less quickly than
ours.

This is both true if we consider chronotropy, but at the same time false
if we consider the totality of things.

When the body moves away, yes, its time seems to pass more slowly.

But it's the opposite if he approaches.

There is therefore time elasticity and not simply time dilation.

Obviously, at first, whoever reads me will think that I am wrong. Then in
a second step, seriously rereading what I write, he will say to himself:
"He is not mistaken, he is right, but it is nothing other than an
application of the Doppler effect" .

But then again, the reader will not "completely" understand what I am
trying to tell him.

No, that is not correct.

We must abandon the Newtonian idea of ​​absolute time, of absolute
duration.

The first idea to abandon (the most difficult) is that of an isochronous
marker. This idea, it seems that today's men are still unable to abandon
it.

They certainly abandoned the idea of ​​a relative time, that is to say
a relative chronotropy, based on the second degree sqrt(1-v²/c²) but
incredibly, they still did not UNDERSTAND and ADMITTED that the concept of
simultaneity is the complete reverse of what they say. This concept IS
absolute by change of frame of reference (provided we meet in the same
place) and IS relative by positional change in the SAME frame.

So when you write t'=t, it's wrong.

But if you write t'=t/sqrt(1-v²/c²) like them, it's also wrong.

We must write t'=t(1+cosµ.v/c)/sqrt(1-v²/c²).

That is to say that it is necessary to take into account the longitudinal
Doppler effect and not only the transverse Doppler effect.

I repeat again, this effect is not a VISUAL, or APPARENT effect. It is a
real effect.

Esse is perceived.

The real is what I see.

It is the false belief in a standard speed of light according to its
direction that poses the problem and leads and will lead to more and more
paradoxes until we finally understand things.

It is the transverse speed of light which is equal to c, and which is
constant whatever the observing reference frame.

But when we observe starlight, the flux is longitudinal. We see the
universe live-live.

That, the human being still does not seem ready to understand it.

So I continue to play Cassandre.

You don't seem to have understood that if 18<30 does not mean that 27<3

But you can't understand yourself.

Do you know what decomposition is?

18=Tr1+Tr2=9+9

30= To1+To2=27+3

If you look closely (be careful, it will go very quickly):
27>9 is true.

But 3>9 is wrong.

This is why I prefer to speak of elasticity of lengths and times.

Because speaking of time dilation or length contraction, of the
sqrt(1-v²/c²) type, is only true for transverse displacements.

The rest is a human problem of arrogance and stupidity: "We don't want a
bad guy like Hachel to open his muzzle".

It is a universal behavior.

Même si à la fin, on a bien 30 d'un côté, et 18 de l'autre.

When the watches move away, they reciprocally turn less quickly.
BUT when they approach each other they really turn faster.

You seem to have no interest in such things.

Post by Richard Hachel
The t'=t/sqrt(1-v²/c²) equation is false.
It is not the same thing to approach a watch and to move away from it
(explanation by the relativistic Doppler effect).
What I have an infinite difficulty in making physicists understand is
that this longitudinal Doppler effect is NOT a visual effect, but a real
effect.
1. For A: A spins for 27 seconds, while B spins for 9 seconds. This is
REAL. There is NO apparent Doppler effect. The Doppler effect is real.
2. For B. B obviously spins by 9 seconds (otherwise it's nonsense), but
she sees A actually spin by only 3 seconds.
This effect is NOT a Doppler effect (I say it again, and say it again).
It's real.
On return.
A spins for only 3 seconds and sees B arrive, which spins in 9 seconds.
B spins in 9 seconds, and sees A who REALLY spins 27 seconds.
Everything is played in direct vision.
There is no speed of light to consider.
The speed of approach of light is always infinite in the longitudinal
direction.
And that, I'm not sure we can hear quickly.
The problem comes from there, and all the paradoxes and actual
misunderstandings come from there.

It appears the problems come from your inability to correctly translate
English into French, or whatever language is your native language.

There are no experiments showing that "GPS equipment is

is something "wrong." There is nothing "wrong" with the GPS
system.

Clocks on GPS satellites are BUILT to tick at the same rate as
clocks on earth WHEN the clock is in orbit on the satellite.
When such a clock is on earth, it ticks slower than clocks that
are used on earth. When such a clock is in orbit, it ticks at the

There is nothing "wrong" or "incorrect" if the clock is BUILT
to work that way.

I absolutely agree. So, there is nothing incorrect about
GPS clocks, keeping indicating t'=t, just like all serious
clocks (BUILT ones) always did.

Nonsense. You totally misunderstand. Normal clocks are BUILT
to tick at a NORMAL rate.

And GPS clocks are - as well - BUILT to tick at the NORMAL rate.

NO! THEY ARE NOT!!! They are built to measure a SECOND as being
LONGER than how a SECOND is measured by all normal clocks.

Screaming won't help. Yes, they are. We always build clocks
to count a second during a second.

Post by Maciej Wozniak
All clocks are, and they always were. Being built and being
adjusted is completely NORMAL for a clock, and insisting
otherwise is very stupid. There is nothing extraordinary in
GPS clocks - that they're built and adjusted makes them
no way special - and, of course, they indicate t'=t, just like all
serious clocks always did.

You can keep spouting that nonsense over and over, but it just
shows you do not understand how GPS clocks work to
compensate for Time Dilation.

You can keep spouting this nonsense over and over, and
GPS clocks will in the meantime keep measuring t'=t,
just like all serious clocks always did.

Why do you keep ignoring the link to the article OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY
has about "Real-World Relativity: The GPS Navigation System"?

Because
1)I generally don't care about mumbling lies of
a bunch of fanatics idiots.

So, Ohio State University and all the others who explain how the
GPS system works are just "a bunch of fanatics idiots"?

OSU obviously is. All the others not necessarily.

Post by Ed Lake
Only YOU
know the "truth"?

Of course not. Even your OSU is not likely going to deny
that GPS clocks are synchronized (i.e. measuring t'=t),
and anyone can check it him- or herself.

2)there is nothing there denying that the clocks
of GPS are synchronized (with the precision of

Are you a robot? You always come back to the same silly argument.

Nobody is forcing you to. The clocks of GPS will keep

Well, good luck. Scientists work with experiments and evidence.

Oh, do they, or maybe they're only asserting they do?

Peer review and attempts to reproduce the experiments would catch that.

Can you point any experiment demonstrating the incorrectness
of GPS clocks?

Of course! The prototype GPS satellite, NTS-2, launched on 23 June
1977. It was launched with a remote control switch, controlling the Cs
clock divisor. It was initially in "Newton" mode, where the clock
divisor was 9,192,631,770, just like every other Cs clock in the world,
since the second was defined as 9,192,631,770 cycles = 1 second. The
downlink frequency transmitted by the satellite was 10.23 MHz, and no
corrections were made to account for general relativity. Earth stations
measured the frequency being incorrect by +443.1 parts per 10^12, which
was out of specifications. After 20 days, they set the switch to
"Einstein" mode, meaning the time dilation corrections predicted by
general relativity are accounted for. This meant the Cs divisor was set
to 9,192,631,774.1, making the downlink transmitted frequency being
10.22999999543 MHz at the satellite. It was determined the frequency
now differed from prediction by -1.9 parts per 10^12. The switch was
never set back to "Newton", all later satellites did not have any
switch, and used a divisor of 9,192,631,774.1, as general relativity
predictions were confirmed.

Janitor, I know there is some sort of flaw in your brain where you think
the results are exactly backwards, so I fully expect another flawed
response to this, because you think t'=t, since you apparently think
1/9192631774.1=1/9192631770.

1) Syncronize the clocks. To do that you have to have both clocks A and B, at the same location in space and time.
2) Move clock B to a certain place, at a certain speed and then return to meet again clock A.
3) At the location of clock A, compare the elapsed times of both clocks A and B. The clock B will show less elapsed time than clock A. That indicates clock B experienced time dilation while moving.

Here's a link that explains how GPS satellites work:
https://www.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/pogge.1/Ast162/Unit5/gps.html

"Special Relativity predicts that the on-board atomic clocks on the satellites should fall behind clocks on the ground by about 7 microseconds per day because of the slower ticking rate due to the time dilation effect of their relative motion."

"A calculation using General Relativity predicts that the clocks in each GPS satellite should get ahead of ground-based clocks by 45 microseconds per day.

"The combination of these two relativitic effects means that the clocks on-board each satellite should tick faster than identical clocks on the ground by about 38 microseconds per day (45-7=38)!"

"The engineers who designed the GPS system included these relativistic effects when they designed and deployed the system. For example, to counteract the General Relativistic effect once on orbit, the onboard clocks were designed to "tick" at a slower frequency than ground reference clocks, so that once they were in their proper orbit stations their clocks would appear to tick at about the correct rate as compared to the reference atomic clocks at the GPS ground stations."

Over the years, I've accumulated a list of 12 major Time Dilation
experiments which CONFIRM that Time Dilation is REAL, and that
time does run at different rates for an object depending upon an
object's speed and its proximity to a gravitational mass.

Every competent physicist knows that, in terms of the essentially unique stationary temporal foliation near a large spherical massive body (corresponding to the Schwarzschild time coordinate), the rate of proper time (dtau/dt) for an object along any given path is different depending on the speed and the elevation of the object. That's what it means to say that clocks run at different rates depending on speed and elevation. No competent person disputes this, so all your years of accumulating lists of experimental evidence of this has been pointless. Again: No. One. Disputes. This.

However, it is also true that, in terms of the momentarily co-moving inertial reference system of each object, we always have dtau/dt = 1, regardless of the object's state of motion or elevation. This is an expression of the principle of relativity (for the motion part) and the principle of equivalence (for the gravitational part). This is the empirically verified scientific fact that you (Ed) deny, but all the experiments on your list are perfectly consistent with this fact. So, again, your list is pointless. It merely confirms what every competent physicist has told you.

Anyone is free to make use of any reference system they like. The comment above is stating a fact about a specified reference system for a given object at a given moment, namely, the essentially unique reference system in terms of which the object is at rest (at least momentarily) and the laws of physics take their simple homogeneous and isotropic form. These are called standard inertial reference systems. These reference systems are particularly useful because they exploit the symmetry of nature expressed by the Lorentz invariance of all physical laws. These are the reference systems to which Einstein is always referring in his 1905 paper, i.e., systems in which the equations of Newtonian mechanics hold good (in the low speed limit). They apply globally in the original special theory, but in the general theory it is shown that they apply only locally.

"Co-moving" with X simply means stationary as far as X is concerned

moving together, side by side, which is where the word "co-moving" comes
from!

"Momentarily co-moving" implies acceleration or something involved. It
means that for an instant of time ("momentarily"), X sees the object as
momentarily stationary. Think of a ball thrown straight up. It is
moving away from the thrower at first (vertical distance z increasing),
but it is accelerating to earth due to gravity. At some instant, the
thrower sees the ball stop moving away from him (z=0) and then start
falling down back toward him (z decreasing). At that instant when the
ball stopped rising and started falling, it was momentarily co-moving
with the thrower (as someone in space would see them, rotating with
earth and moving with earth around the sun etc., moving together)

You are complicating something that is really very simple. A cesium atomic
clock will cycle 9,192,631,770 times per second whether there is an observer
next to it or not. If there is an observer next to it, the time becomes the "proper
time" for that observer.

A different cesium atom clock that is moving 259,628 kilometers per second
faster than the first clock will measure ONE second in the time it takes the first
clock to measure TWO seconds. It makes no difference if there is anyone
around to make it their "proper time" or not.

You only need an observer when you want to COMPARE tick rates. And that is
typically done by starting with the two clocks together in front of the observer,
then moving one of the clocks away at high speed and then bringing the two clocks
back together again. When the two clocks are together again, the clock that
was moved will show less time has passed than the clock that wasn't moved.
The clock that moved will show less ELAPSED time has passed. The clock that
didn't move will still show the "proper time."

The comment above is stating a fact about a specified reference system for a given object at a given moment, namely, the essentially unique reference system in terms of which the object is at rest (at least momentarily) and the laws of physics take their simple homogeneous and isotropic form. These are called standard inertial reference systems. These systems are particularly useful because they exploit the symmetry of nature expressed by the Lorentz invariance of all physical laws. These are the reference systems to which Einstein is always referring in his 1905 paper, i.e., systems in which the equations of Newtonian mechanics hold good (in the low speed limit). They apply globally in the original special theory, but in the general theory it is shown that they apply only locally.

It is on this latter subject that you disagree with all the textbooks, not the former subject, so there's no value in you compiling lists of time dilation experiments (unless you just enjoy arguing about the semantics with nitwits on this forum).

Every competent physicist knows that, in terms of the essentially unique stationary temporal foliation near a large spherical massive body (corresponding to the Schwarzschild time coordinate), the rate of proper time (dtau/dt) for an object along any given path is different depending on the speed and the elevation of the object. That's what it means to say that clocks run at different rates depending on speed and elevation. No competent person disputes this, so all your years of accumulating lists of experimental evidence of this has been pointless.

It's constantly disputed on this forum.

However, it is also true that, in terms of the momentarily co-moving inertial reference system of each object, we always have dtau/dt = 1, regardless of the object's state of motion or elevation. This is an expression of the principle of relativity (for the motion part) and the principle of equivalence (for the gravitational part). This is the empirically verified scientific fact that you (Ed) deny, but all the experiments on your list are perfectly consistent with this fact. So, again, your list is pointless. It merely confirms what every competent physicist has told you.

"Momentarily co-moving inertial reference system"? Who said anything about
anything "co-moving" OR "momentarily co-moving"???

I sometimes enjoy arguing with people on this forum because it forces me to
explain the same things in dozens of different ways. When you explain Time
Dilation in a dozen different ways, you are viewing the same things from a dozen
different angles. The more angles you view something from, the better you can
understand everything you see.

I don't enjoy arguing with people who cannot write clearly. To me, most of your
latest comment above is gibberish. If someone uses a "reference system" such
as the earth, and explains how a rocket ship moves away from the earth on its
way to Alpha Centauri, I have no problem with that. But, if they use the rocket
ship as a frame of reference and start talking about how the earth is moving away
from the rocket ship, then I say they are just talking mathematical nonsense. It
has nothing to do with REALITY. And, like Einstein, I'm only interested in understanding
the REALITY of the universe around us, and how things work.

Why do you refer to reference systems in quotes?

such as the earth...

The earth isn't a reference system. The earth is momentarily at rest in an inertial reference system, but of course it is not at rest in terms of the inertial reference system in which the sun (for example) is at rest.

and explains how a rocket ship moves away from the earth on its

Great... with the above corrections and clarifications. Remember, an object is not a reference system. For example, the moon's distance from the earth doesn't change (much), and yet the moon is moving at high speed in terms of the inertial reference system in which the earth is at rest.

But, if they use the rocket ship as a frame of reference and start talking about how
the earth is moving away from the rocket ship, then I say they are just talking
mathematical nonsense.

No, they are stating plain facts. For example, a rocket may be at rest in terms of the Sun's co-moving inertial reference system, and of course the earth is moving at high speed in terms of that system, so the earth is moving away from the rocket in terms of the Sun's reference system, which happens to also be the rocket's reference system. These are plain irrefutable facts.

It's important to keep in mind that a statement such as "they are just talking mathematical nonsense" is not a substantive comment, i.e., it has no cognitive content. The meaning and physical significance of inertial reference systems has been thoroughly understood for over 400 years, and indeed it forms the basis of the principle of relativity, which consists of the assertion that all the laws of physics take exactly the same simple form when expressed in terms of any standard inertial reference system. The entire Scientific Revolution, beginning in the 1600s and continuing until today, was based on that insight.

Correction: Reference systems are used to describe phenomena in a physically meaningful way. Without defining what reference system you are using, you cannot give any meaningful descriptions of events. So, I ask again, why do you refer to reference systems in quotes?

Correction: There are no pretenses involved in the sciences of kinematics and dynamics. Things like positions and velocities and accelerations, etc., are all defined in terms of specified systems of reference. The descriptions of the position, velocity, and acceleration of an object obviously depend on what system of reference we are using. The insight of the principle of relativity is that there is a class of reference systems, call inertial reference systems, in which the laws of physics take exactly the same simple form, so we can apply the usual laws of physics in terms of any one of these systems of reference. That's why we don't need to try to figure out which one (if any) is "truly" at rest. They are all equally valid as far as the laws of physics are concerned.

Post by Ed Lake
It IS NOT A "FACT" that "the earth is moving away from the rocket."

Right, that's a meaningless assertion, because it doesn't specify a system of reference. The following statements are both true: (1) in terms of the inertial reference system in which the earth is at rest, the rocket is moving, and (2) in terms of the inertial reference system in which the rocket is at rest, the earth is moving.

You see, you missed the point of the explanation, because in the example I gave the rocket is at rest in the reference system of the Sun, and the earth is moving in that reference system (which you do not deny), so you have admitted that indeed the earth is moving in terms of the reference system of the rocket, which is the same as the reference system of the sun. To deny that the earth is moving in the reference system of the rocket, you must deny that the earth is moving in the reference system of the sun... which you (I presume) do not deny. Understand?

Post by Ed Lake

That sentence makes no sense. Again, we use systems of reference (no quotation marks) to describe things clearly and unambiguously.

By saying "also" you are agreeing with the above, and hence you are conceding that your statements have no cognitive content. That's the main thing for you to realize, so you can start trying to type things that actually have cognitive content, rather than just repeating slogans.

experiments which CONFIRM that Time Dilation is REAL, and that
time does run at different rates for an object depending upon an
object's speed and its proximity to a gravitational mass.

Every competent physicist knows that, in terms of the essentially unique stationary temporal foliation near a large spherical massive body (corresponding to the Schwarzschild time coordinate), the rate of proper time (dtau/dt) for an object along any given path is different depending on the speed and the elevation of the object.

That is the PROPER time, the clock used must be comoving and local to
the observer. Different observers on different paths can have different
values for their own proper times because the proper time of one is NOT
the proper time of the other, because the second observer's clock was
NOT comoving and local to the first observer (because it was comoving

You are complicating something that is really very simple. A cesium atomic

Locally, and in a frame in which the clock is stationary.

You only need an observer when you want to COMPARE tick rates. And that is

then moving one of the clocks away at high speed and then bringing the two clocks

Now, that is the traveling twin gedanken, and that happens due to the
turnaround (acceleration). Time dilation as in the 1905 paper works
only when both clocks are inertial. Obviously a turnaround isn't inertial.

"Momentarily co-moving" implies acceleration or something involved. It
means that for an instant of time ("momentarily"), X sees the object as
momentarily stationary. Think of a ball thrown straight up. It is
moving away from the thrower at first (vertical distance z increasing),
but it is accelerating to earth due to gravity. At some instant, the
thrower sees the ball stop moving away from him (z=0) and then start
falling down back toward him (z decreasing). At that instant when the
ball stopped rising and started falling, it was momentarily co-moving
with the thrower (as someone in space would see them, rotating with
earth and moving with earth around the sun etc., moving together)

No additional qualification needed. In the frame of the first, the
second is moving at +v. In the frame of the second, the first is moving
at -v. That is Galileo's relative motion. (Einstein not even needed for
that!)

You only need an observer when you want to COMPARE tick rates. And that is
typically done by starting with the two clocks together in front of the observer,
then moving one of the clocks away at high speed and then bringing the two clocks
back together again.

Now, that is the traveling twin gedanken, and that happens due to the
turnaround (acceleration). Time dilation as in the 1905 paper works
only when both clocks are inertial. Obviously a turnaround isn't inertial.

You are discussing mathematics. I am discussing REALITY.

This IS reality (physics). I didn't even mention math. This is done all
the time in things like muon storage rings, or CERN, where things go
round and round back to the origin, even if there are many bending
magnets (curving is acceleration) so that it's almost a circle. One
"twin" is a muon in the storage ring, the other a stationary muon at the
origin.

When discussing
MATHEMATICS, you cannot cope with changing speeds, acceleration and
turnaround complications.

I didn't even mention mathematics. Physics is what copes with changing
speed/turnarounds/acceleration.

Post by Ed Lake
When discussing REALITY, changing speeds,
acceleration and turnarounds just mean that the amount of time dilation will
vary during all those factors. That makes it difficult to do the math, but it
is what happens in REALITY.

REALITY can be predicted with the correct physics formulas. But solving
those formulas will mean doing the math. The whole purpose of physics is
to find and create accurate models of what nature is doing, to MATCH
reality, but those models often have loads of math. Since you appear to
be frightened of math, physics may not be for you.

When the two clocks are together again, the clock that
was moved will show less time has passed than the clock that wasn't moved.

More accurately, the clock with the shorter path through spacetime
experiences more time.

More accurately, the clock that moved at the greater percentage of the speed
of light will show that less time has passed than the clock that moved
at the lower percentage of the speed of light.

That makes no sense, since there are three (or more) velocities
involved, and any one of them can be chosen to be 0 if the correct frame
is chosen.

Post by Ed Lake

Post by Volney

The clock that moved will show less ELAPSED time has passed.

Because it took a longer path through spacetime. But this is the twins
gedanken, not simple relative motion.

That depends upon your definition of "simple relative motion."

Not my definition, Einstein's. Or Galileo's. It means inertial motion
with no acceleration. It means the two can meet each other at most
once, since there is no return. Time comparison is done with a signal
of some sort. Consider a distant galaxy moving away and we're
monitoring a sodium line. The remote sodium is both a clock (sends
light with a constant known frequency at the source) and the signal source.

The clock that
didn't move will still show the "proper time."

Its own proper time, not "the" proper time. The moving clock shows
*its* own proper time.

However, it is also true that, in terms of the momentarily co-moving inertial reference system of each object, we always have dtau/dt = 1, regardless of the object's state of motion or elevation. This is an expression of the principle of relativity (for the motion part) and the principle of equivalence (for the gravitational part). This is the empirically verified scientific fact that you (Ed) deny, but all the experiments on your list are perfectly consistent with this fact. So, again, your list is pointless. It merely confirms what every competent physicist has told you.

I don't deny things that are meaningless to me. Your mumbo-jumbo comment
is meaningless to me. "Momentarily co-moving inertial reference system"? Who
said anything about anything "co-moving" OR "momentarily co-moving"???

"Co-moving" with X simply means stationary as far as X is concerned
(zero velocity in X's reference frame). A second observer will see them
moving together, side by side, which is where the word "co-moving" comes
from!
"Momentarily co-moving" implies acceleration or something involved. It
means that for an instant of time ("momentarily"), X sees the object as
momentarily stationary. Think of a ball thrown straight up. It is
moving away from the thrower at first (vertical distance z increasing),
but it is accelerating to earth due to gravity. At some instant, the
thrower sees the ball stop moving away from him (z=0) and then start
falling down back toward him (z decreasing). At that instant when the
ball stopped rising and started falling, it was momentarily co-moving
with the thrower (as someone in space would see them, rotating with
earth and moving with earth around the sun etc., moving together)
This is a standard description of mechanics. If these terms are
confusing to you (you call them mumbo-jumbo), you need to LEARN.

Your mumbo jumbo

Not my mumbo jumbo, it is what's in every book on physical mechanics.
And it's physics, not "mumbo jumbo". As I said, if physics is mumbo
jumbo to you, you need to LEARN.

I'm not interested in learning mumbo jumbo.

Then physics isn't for you, if high school physics is mumbo jumbo to
you. May I suggest basket weaving as a hobby, instead?

Over the years, I've accumulated a list of 12 major Time Dilation
experiments which CONFIRM that Time Dilation is REAL, and that
time does run at different rates for an object depending upon an
object's speed and its proximity to a gravitational mass.

Every competent physicist knows that, in terms of the essentially unique stationary temporal foliation near a large spherical massive body (corresponding to the Schwarzschild time coordinate), the rate of proper time (dtau/dt) for an object along any given path is different depending on the speed and the elevation of the object. That's what it means to say that clocks run at different rates depending on speed and elevation. No competent person disputes this, so all your years of accumulating lists of experimental evidence of this has been pointless. Again: No. One. Disputes. This.

"It may be your opinion the length of a second is variable, but actual
scientists have defined a second to be 9,192,631,770 cycles of a certain
frequency of a Cs atom. Variable length seconds make as little sense as
variable length meters or variable mass kilograms. "

That is the PROPER time, the clock used must be comoving and local to
the observer. Different observers on different paths can have different
values for their own proper times because the proper time of one is NOT
the proper time of the other, because the second observer's clock was
NOT comoving and local to the first observer (because it was comoving
and local to the second observer!

You are complicating something that is really very simple. A cesium atomic
clock will cycle 9,192,631,770 times per second whether there is an observer
next to it or not.

Locally, and in a frame in which the clock is stationary.

I'm talking about REALITY, not about mathematical models.

This IS reality. As in physics (not math). A Cs clock sitting there,
measuring seconds.

No, stupid Mike, this is a dream. As in physics. The reality is
GPS, where the clocks are counting ~9,192,631,774.

No, I'm NOT TALKING ABOUT MATHEMATICAL MODELS. I'm talking about

show that light consists of individual photons. THERE ARE NO WAVES. There
are just oscillating electric and magnetic fields in the photon. Scientists have
performed experiments to confirm this. Mathematician physicists CANNOT
accept that, since they cannot develop ONE mathematical model that can truly
explain how photons work. So, THEY DENY REALITY and endlessly argue that
"light sometimes acts like a particle and sometimes acts like a wave," and they
use separate mathematical models for each situation.

The problem is that when scientists discuss reality, the mathematician physicists
will always argue that "photons cannot oscillate" and they'll start babbling about
their two mathematical models, REFUSING to discuss REALITY.

this link: https://keisan.casio.com/exec/system/1224059993
Someone in orbit may travel 17,000 mph which is 7.6 kilometers per second.
That means that 1 second for the person in orbit will be 1.0000000003213
seconds for the person on the ground.
Someone would have to travel 259,628 kilometers per second before
on second for him will be 2 seconds for someone on the ground.

All I want to know Mr. Ed is, if it takes a year (365 days) to record 5
MICROSECONDS, then
WHEN did the 1 MICROSECONDS happen? It has to a number between 1 and
364.

364 divided by 5 equals 72.8. So, every 72.8 days that Scott Kelly spent
in orbit meant that his brother Mark, on the ground, aged 1 MILLIsecond more
than Scott.

Here's an article about it: https://www.space.com/33411-astronaut-scott-kelly-relativity-twin-brother-ages.html

I wrote microseconds when I meant milliseconds. A microsecond is
one millionth of a second. A millisecond is one thousandth of a second.
So Mark aged a thousand times faster than what I wrote.

This is true and false at the same time.

If the object passes transversely, yes.

But if the displacement is not transverse, it is false.

This is what Dr. Hachel calls the longitudinal relativistic Doppler
effect.

For him this Doppler effect is NOT only visual, but real.

The three expected effects on times, lengths (or distances), and
wavelengths are real.

Time dilation has nothing to do with the direction of travel. It is just
about your speed relative to a different speed.

Someone traveling at 259,628 kilometers per second toward the
earth, away from the earth, or at right angles to the earth will age
at 1/2 the rate as someone on earth.

No.

You, you say that "time dilation has nothing to do with the direction of
travel".

And (in reality) it's false.

No.

In English, "No" could mean you AGREE that "Time dilation has nothing to do
with the direction of travel."

Your English is very bad. What is false? And WHY do you believe it is "false"?

Over the years, I've accumulated a list of 12 major Time Dilation
experiments which CONFIRM that Time Dilation is REAL, and that
time does run at different rates for an object depending upon an
object's speed and its proximity to a gravitational mass.
Here's the link: http://www.ed-lake.com/Time-Dilation-Experiments.html
1. Hafele-Keating
2. NIST Optical Clocks and Relativity
3. Geodesy and Metrology experiment (measuring altitude by time difference)
4. Muon experiments
5. University of Maryland
6. Japanese Mitaka to Norikura
7. Briatore and Leschiutta
8. National Physical Laboratory - 1996
9. Van Baak - 2005
10. National Physical Laboratory - 2010
11. Van Baak - 2016
12. Tokyo Skytree - 2020
Is there anyone here who seriously claims that Time Dilation
has NOT been fully verified by these experiments?

I say instead it's space contraction (alternate mechanism).

In the meantime in the real world - forbidden and announced by
your bunch of idiots as incorrect GPS clocks keep measuring t'=t,
just like all serious clocks always did.

Your paper is about a FICTITIOUS universe where only two objects
exist. The 12 experiments listed above took place in our REAL universe
where countless objects exist and the speed of light is the highest
speed that is possible, which means all other speeds can be viewed
as a percentage of the speed of light.

The "which means" is not right. Even if something could move faster
than light its speed could be expressed as a percentage of the speed
of light: "The particle we found moved at 105% of c."

What makes it possible and sensible to express speeds as a percentage
of light speed is that the speed of light in a vacuum is the same in
every place, at all times, and for all observers.
