The Illusion of relative time


This essay is for elucidating “relative time” in astrophysics!

This is a translated version. The original article is available in German.

Many people have no sense for “relative time” and “nothing” and “infinity” are two central unknowns!

For the ancient Greeks, the aether was a living primordial soul; perhaps they meant a space permeated by energy, which ensures the distance between all stars! And for ARISTOTLE, space was “the quintessence, the fifth element”!

The two theories of relativity, travel into the past or future, the wormhole to the parallel universe, and the many theories, dimensions, and universes are today part of the incredible state of knowledge of modern astrophysics!

The “relative time” meant for ALBERT EINSTEIN that the time of a flying object, measured from the ground, passes more slowly than the time within the object itself. And that a falling ball in an airplane would appear to fall slightly diagonally backward for an observer on the ground.

The Nobel Prize committee of 1910 found measurable evidence lacking in ALBERT EINSTEIN’s theory of relativity. He had still grounded the four-dimensional spacetime continuum in the elastic solid-body properties of the ether! Modern physics is based on measurability, predictive power, and consistency! Today, all experimental evidence such as the relativistic effect, time dilation, length contraction, and gravitational redshift refers back to the theory of relativity and its relative time!

What is reality?

A gravitation of space contradicts the solid-state properties of the ether already dismissed by science today.
The singularity, the infinitely small as well as the infinitely large of ISAAC NEWTON, and the quintessence of the ether as the “fifth element” of ARISTOTLE are nothing more than abstract fantasies!

ALBERT EINSTEIN’s “E = mc²” states that energy is contained in all matter!
In all energy there is probably also matter!
The gravitation of light speaks in favor of energy-matter! Perhaps everything in the universe, including gravitation and feelings, is “energy-matter”?
This prediction should be explored by modern physics!

When calculating time, sunlight on Earth travels the Earth’s circumference of approximately 40,000 km from one appearance at the horizon to the next in time X. This time was already divided by 24 by the Babylonians and is — both beneath the Earth and in outer space — always the time of our Earth! All other planets have their own time! It is merely an average value, which is regularly updated by several atomic clocks due to the continuous deformation of the Earth.

At the equator, time moves like sunlight at a speed of 1,666.6 km/h or 462.9 m/s. Towards the north and south, as well as towards the Earth’s core, it becomes progressively slower. At ground level in Stockholm, it amounts to only 762 km/h or 211.6 m/s.
Along the theoretical north–south polar axis, its speed is 0 km/h. At a distance of 10 km above the equator, its speed increases to 1,669.2 km/h or 463.7 m/s due to the greater X-time, and out into the ether it becomes ever faster!

Time, however, can neither be accelerated nor slowed down!

The speed of time also has no influence on clocks or on people! If it did, every clock on a jet at an altitude of 10 km above the equator, traveling at a speed of 1,669.2 km/h, would stand still, and passengers could then live forever in that position — or, at an even higher speed, grow even younger.

“No, it is the mechanics of clocks alone that are influenced by gravitation”!

The curvature paths of atomic clocks and their light signals travel a longer path in orbit compared to their direct time measurement.
These deviations can in future be calculated for the travel time computations of navigation using the ratio of their arc length to segment length. There are empirical values for the tick-tock rhythms!
The segment angle "" is determined using trigonometry and the arc length is calculated with the formula (R.π.α)/180.
R is the Earth’s radius of approx. 6378 km + altitude above sea level!

The Greek philosopher GEORGIAS asked around 500 BC: “What is and what is not?”
In 2010, STEPHEN HAWKING also posed the question in his book “THE GRAND DESIGN”: “Why is there something rather than simply ‘nothing’” (p. 15)? Around 850 AD, the Arabs were the first to add “0” as “nothing” to the numbers, which further reinforced the concept of infinity!
Around 2019, the “0” was also discovered on an Indian scroll dating to around 200 AD. For “nothing” there is measurable evidence from physics! Air density decreases with increasing altitude above sea level.
When air is compressed and cooled to minus 194° C, its volume is reduced to a liquid minimum! The missing volume represents the space that previously contributed to air density between the various molecules. Thus the space between every energy-matter is also “nothing”! If this space contained energy-matter, it would be infinite!

“The infinity of the ether is also an illusion!”

“Nothing” forms a “duality” with energy-matter and, without relative time, can be a key to a new astrophysics!”

Perhaps HERACLITUS meant the “present” with “panta rhei” — everything flows?
Light actually flows and takes time to reach our eyes.
”Thus everything visible is already the past!”

The speed of light “c” of 299,792.458 km/s is always “relative” due to the constant influence of gravity! To be able to experience the present, one would have to be beamed into an absolute speed of light, which does not exist. And for travel into the future one would have to be beamed into a greatly exceeded speed of light, and for travel into the past into a greatly exceeded, backwards-running speed of light!

“Beaming humans to the speed of light and travelling into the past or future remain illusions!”

Euclidean geometry with its three dimensions X, Y and Z, along with time and the metre, are merely inventions — tools without reality!
ALBERT EINSTEIN integrated time as the “fourth dimension” in Euclidean space for his theory of relativity. The fourth dimension is employed neither mathematically nor geometrically. “It is a fake!”
The frame of reference is merely a fictitious space in motion!

ALBERT EINSTEIN probably did not think carefully enough when he allowed himself to be deceived by the gravitation of space and time in the fourth dimension!

“The theory of relativity, with its relative time, is merely a speculative hypothesis”!

The causes behind the ice crystal experiments of MASARO EMOTO and the quantum physics experiments of WERNER HEISENBERG have not yet been clarified by science. Why does only an “indirect observation” influence the result of quantum mechanical interaction?
Classical sciences mostly examine only the “effect”.
In doing so, the “causes — the decisive feelings” fall by the wayside!

As early as around the year 1800, JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE described in his work “ELECTIVE AFFINITIES” (“DIE WAHLVERWANDTSCHAFTEN”) how feelings reach the external world through gravitation and determine attraction and repulsion between chemical elements as well!

The differing ice crystals under MASARO EMOTO’s microscope were most likely produced by the feelings of the music, the quality of the water, and the observers — and in quantum physics, by the feeling of the seeker directed toward energy or momentum!

Due to indirect observation in quantum physics and the speculative, four-dimensional spacetime continuum, the reality of theoretical astrophysics was called into question for the first time around 1925!

Around the year 2010, STEPHEN HAWKING also expressed concerns about the current problems of theoretical astrophysics in his book “THE GRAND DESIGN.”

He wrote:

“It seems we are at a crucial point in the history of science, at which we must redefine our goals and what makes a physical theory acceptable. Apparently, the fundamental numbers and even the form of the laws of nature observable in our cosmos are not demanded by logic or by physical principles”! (p.143)

“But perhaps the true miracle is that abstract logical reasoning leads to a unified theory that predicts and describes a universe with all the diversity we see before us. If this theory is confirmed by observation, that is the successful conclusion of a search that began 3000 years ago”! (p.177)

“The mathematical formulas of ISAAC NEWTON seduce scientists into believing that the entire universe could be represented, if only they had the right theory and sufficient computing power”! (p.119)

Time and mathematics, together with Euclidean geometry, are not suitable for a realistic representation of the universe.

For example:

Two kittens minus two kittens equals 0 kittens — try explaining that to an eight-year-old girl! In reality, no GRAIN OF SAND exists twice, there is no second EINSTEIN and no second UNIVERSE, neither in the present nor in the past or future! The formula “1+1 = 2” is merely theory.

“To be or not to be, that is the question, and all theory is grey” — Shakespeare already recognized this in Hamlet! (Act 3, Scene 1)!

If everything in the universe is “energy-matter,” then gravity is probably a form of “felt energy-matter”! Gravity, with its omnipotence, would then be the only “immortal energy-matter” and the sole creative force — the soul of the universe!

The universe was not conceived in advance, nor did it emerge from “nothing.” All energy-matters of the universe flow with the eternal force of gravity from Big Bang to Big Bang, a spiral, perpetually self-cleansing cycle — a coming into being and unfolding, a living and dying without beginning or end!
