A scientific misconception about time dilation is described as:

The equation of time dilation t'= t/√ (1-v²/c²) is wrong; where t' is dilated time, t proper time, v relativistic speed and c speed of light in free space.

Real events invoke time. The error in the said equation is that the proper time (t) can never be modified through external influence or interaction or interference of real events, with speed or under gravity, to get time dilation (t’).

It would be wrong to try to modify cosmic proper time progressing in its uniformed and irreversible succession that too in higher dimension above the three-dimensions of space. Speed or gravity can never interfere time (t) to get time dilation (t'). So there is no time dilation rather it is a wavelength (λ) dilation of the clock oscillation.

Experimental results

Experiments made in electronic laboratories on piezoelectric crystal oscillators show that the wave corresponds to time shift due to relativistic effects.

The wavelength (λ) of a wave is directly proportional to the time period (T) of the wave, that is λ ∝ T. 

Where, speed v or c = f λ. 

λ = v/f = c/f and T = 2π/ω. 

ω = 2π/T = 2πf. as T = 1/f, f is frequency. The speed c is constant in free space.

1. We get a wave corresponds to time shift.

For example, 1° phase shift on a 5 MHz wave corresponds to a time shift of 555 picosecond (ps). The proof is:

We know, 1° phase shift = T/360. 

As T=1/f,  

1° phase shift = T/360 = (1/f)/360.

For a wave of frequency, f = 5000000 Hz, we get the phase shift in degree (°) 

= (1/5000000)/360

= (5.55 x 10^-10)

= 555 ps. 

Therefore, for 1° phase shift for a wave having wavelength λ = 59.95m, and frequency f = 5 MHz, the time shift (time delay) Δt = 555 ps (approx). 

 

2. Moreover, for 360° phase shift or, 1 complete cycle for a wave having frequency 1Hz (of a 9192631770 Hz wave); the time shift (time delay)    

Δt = 0.00000010878277570776666 ms (approx).

Time shift of the caesium-133 atomic clock in the GPS satellite in space:

For 1455.50003025° phase shift (or 4.043055639583333 cycles) of a 9192631770 Hz wave; time shift (time delay) 

Δt = 0.0000004398148148148148 ms (approx) or, 0.038 millisecond, or, 38 microsecond time is taken per day.

Hubble's 'cosmic redshift' of the cosmic signals raises question of a resulting redshift.

There are three known types of redshifts, - Doppler redshift, gravitational redshift and cosmological redshift.

The corresponding formulas for this redshift are

• Z = {λ(obs)-λ(rest)}/λ(rest);

• Z = Δλ/λ₀ and also

• Z = Δλ/λ₀,

Where, 

• Z denotes the redshift factor which represents the fractional change in wavelength;

• λ(obs) represents the observed wavelength of light;

• λ(rest) represents the rest wavelength of light;

• Δλ is the change in wavelength of light as observed;

• (λ₀) is the wavelength at the source.

In a post, “Hubble's 'cosmic redshift' of the cosmic signals overrules Einstein's 'gravitational redshift', and the act raises question of a resulting redshift.

=> λ(h) + λ(e) => λ(r)? #redshift “

Viewer Questioned, “I respect these mathematical symbols, but it would be a whole lot better for the numerically uninitiated if they could be translated into words. Is there any chance of that?

Author Replied, “Yes sir, let me text you the scenario replacing the symbol... in the comment below.

The wavelength of a wave is presented as λ.

1. So wavelength of a wave can be enlarged naturally, mostly in three conditions known as redshift.

2. These conditions are -

(a) due to Doppler effect

(b) due to gravitational effect

(c) due to cosmic effect

I will describe them briefly below.

3. Explanation in gravitational effect:

When light leaves a gravitational well like the Sun, it spends its energy to leave the well, but since speed of light is constant, it cannot reduce its speed as it leaves the well (Sun) rather reduces its frequency, correspondingly increases its wavelength, and this is presented as λ, as such it gets red shifted in the electromagnetic spectrum, known as Einstein's redshift. Let's represent it with the symbol λ(e) - represent red-shifted wavelength as per Einstein model. - Lambda (λ) wavelength and (e) suffix ‘e’ representing Einstein (Einstein's redshift)

4. The light wave when passes a long distance through intergalactic space, - most of the space is not dominated by gravity but dark energy - as such space expands (such expansion is not possible within gravity dominated space like within galaxies.)

Such light passing intergalactic space subject to face unusual wavelength dilation due to stretching of the fabric of space (Einstein was unaware of this) and gets red-shifted wavelength known as red-shifting of light due to cosmic expansion - that Edwin Hubble discovered. So let us represent this new form of red-shifting of light's wavelength as λ(h), similar to the earlier symbolic but, by replacing Einstein's (e) as Hubble's (h) i.e. λ(h).

5. So a light signal, if emits from the Sun and passes long distance through intergalactic space, the same light signal will experience both kinds of red-shifting i.e. Einstein's gravitational red-shifting as well as Hubble's cosmic red-shifting, as a result the said red-shifting of the same light wave would subject to addition of two red-shifting said.

So this was my question symbolically presented as λ(h) + λ(e) => λ(r), as it questions addition of values of {λ(h) + λ(e)} - generally it is used as frequency modulation in the applications on Earth, and also considered as per it's energy level using Planck’s relationship E=hf. I have to confirm the actual application in this. So I’m wondering.

End.

Abstract

Wavelength dilation due to relativistic effects results in error in the reading of clock time. It is the phase shift in frequency and corresponding enlargement in wavelength of oscillation; which occurs in any clock, between its relative locations, due to the relativistic effects or difference in gravitational potential, results error in the reading of clock time, wrongfully presented as time dilation.

1. Introduction

The equation of time dilation t՚ = t/√(1-v²/c²) where t՚ is dilated time, t proper time, v relativistic speed, and c speed of light in free space, is wrong.  

This is a conjectural equation based on the classical Doppler formula. The counter example such as the experimental results made herein disprove the conjectural equation of the time dilation as such; disprove time dilation as a whole.

Relativity adopts Minkowski spacetime that combines three-dimensional Euclidean space and fourth dimensional time into a fourth-dimensional manifold, wherein time is robbed of its independence, rather considered 'natural'. Relativity also conveys that the proper time is dependent on relativistic effects and expressed as t<t', where t' is dilated time. This expression contradicts the expression t=t' as in classical mechanics, where time is imaginary absolute.

2. A scientific misconception in time dilation

Real events invoke time. The error in the equation t՚ = t/√(1-v²/c²) is that the relativistic effects, such as speed or gravity of the real events, can never interact with the proper time (t) which is referred in the fourth dimension. This means, the real part of the equation {1/√(1-v²/c²)} cannot affect, nor interact  with the proper time (t) to get it enlarged and to get time dilation (t') as in the equation. The observations made on the effect of dark energy do not show anti-gravity, caused by dark energy, affects time in any manner, except causing enlargement in the wavelength due to expansion of space. It is naturally unauthorized and disprovable to enlarge the scale of proper time, instead of distortion in the wavelength of clock oscillation.

The distortions of wavelengths exactly correspond to time distortions; through the relationship is λ∝T, where λ denotes wavelength and T denotes period of oscillation of the wave. So that the relativistic effects, such as speed or gravitational potential difference, affects the clock mechanism and causes phase shift in the frequency and corresponding enlargement in the wavelength of the clock oscillation, and correspondingly results error in the reading of the clock time through the relationship λ∝T, but wrongfully perceived as time dilation.

The real events within space can never reach the fourth direction of time t, either through interaction or, by influence of the relativistic effects, such as speed or gravity. The events within space will not have natural reach to the direction of proper time t, so that eventual influences can never affect the proper time than its ideal succession, to get dilated time t'. The reading of time in a clock mechanism should always follow the order of the proper time; otherwise distortions would cause wrong reading in the clock mechanism. The dimension of time is considered unreal rather, conceptual.

It would be wrong to try modifying proper time as in the conjectural equation of time dilation. Relativistic effects can never interact with proper time to get time dilation՚. In addition to this, the idea of time dilation disobeys the prevailing scientific definition of time involving existence and events. Proper time should never be robbed of its independence and not held as 'natural' even in a four-dimensional continuum of space-time.  There is no time dilation anywhere, rather the wavelength dilation of the clock oscillation resulting in error in the reading of the clock time. Distortions of wavelengths exactly correspond to time distortions; as in the mathematical relationship λ∝T, where λ denotes wavelength and T denotes period of oscillation of the wave.

3. General Foundations:

(i) Time is called T, the period of oscillation, so that T = 2π/ω. The reciprocal of the period, or the frequency f, in oscillations per second, is given by f = 1/T = ω/2π.

(ii) Doppler Redshift is the change in frequency of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the wave source.

(iii) Time distortion always originates from wavelength distortion but the time dilation of special relativity is not understood from wavelength distortion and so it does not follow the general rules.

(iv) Special relativity does not escape the fundamental equivalence between wavelengths and time, which is much more general than special relativity.

(v) Distortions of wavelengths exactly correspond to time distortions λ∝T.

(vi) Time is the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole, succeeding in irreversible and uniformed succession, referred to in the fourth dimension above three spatial dimensions. Therefore, time is not what special relativity presents as in time dilation and there is no time in time dilation.

(vii) Time is an imperceptible fourth dimensional concept so protected from relativistic effects like speed or gravity, nor subject to real interference or influence or interaction with the cosmic events. The events rather invoke time.

(viii) The term cosmic time signifies a relationship between the time since the Big Bang and the events within the Universe. The distortion in proper time always originates from wavelength distortion, including in special relativity, and therefore proper time subject to synchronization with ideal time in near approximation, as done with the atomic clocks.

4. Experimental results:

Experiments made in electronic laboratories on piezoelectric crystal oscillators show that the wave corresponds to time shift due to relativistic effects.

We get the wavelength λ of a wave is directly proportional to the time period T of the wave, that is λ∝T is derived from the wave equation f = 1/T = c/λ, where c is constant in free space.

Whereas, the time interval T(deg) for 1° of phase is inversely proportional to the frequency (f). We get a wave corresponding to the time shift.

For example, 1° phase shift on a 5 MHz wave corresponds to a time shift of 555 picoseconds (ps). The proof is:

We know, 1° phase shift = T/360.

As T=1/f,

1° phase shift = T/360 = (1/f)/360.

For a wave of frequency f = 5 MHz, we get the phase shift (in degree°)

= (1/5000000)/360

= (5.55x10^-10)

= 555 ps.

Therefore, for 1° phase shift for a wave having wavelength λ = 59.95m, and frequency f = 5 MHz, the time shift (time delay) Δt = 555 ps (approx).

Moreover, for 360° phase shift or, 1 complete cycle for a wave having frequency 1Hz (of a 9192631770 Hz wave); the time shift (time delay) 

Δt = 0.0000001087827757077666 ms (approx).

Time shift of the caesium-133 atomic clock in the GPS satellite in space:

For 1455.50003025° phase shift (or, 4.043055639583333 cycles) of a 9192631770 Hz wave; time shifts (time delays) 

Δt = 0.0000004398148148148148 ms (approx) or, 38 microsecond time is taken per day.

5. Conclusion:

The wavelength dilation of the clock oscillation due to relativistic effects, or gravitational potential difference on the clock mechanism results in corresponding error in the reading of time in the clock, wrongfully presented as time dilation. Time dilation is rather wavelength dilation.

Time, its relationship and some of its features:

1. Time is the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole, succeeds in irreversible, uniformed succession, referred to in fourth dimension, above three spatial dimensions.

2. Time is called T, the period of oscillation, so that ωT = 2π, or T = 2π/ω.  The reciprocal of the period, or the frequency f, in oscillations per second, is given by f = 1/T = ω/2π.

3. Frequency (f) and time interval (t): The time interval for 1° of phase is inversely proportional to the frequency. If the frequency of a signal is given by f, then the time t (deg), in seconds, corresponding to 1° of phase is t (deg)  = 1/(360f) = t/360. Therefore, a 1° phase shift on a 5 MHz signal corresponds to a time shift of 555 picoseconds (ps).

4. The events invoke time, when time is independent from eventual influences as such; free from all fundamental interactions. Real events Invoke conceptual time.

5. In simple term, time is the occurrences of events. But 'events' need not be substituted as 'time' or vice versa.

6. A clock and time are two different considerations. A clock does have mass but time doesn't.

7. Existential events are necessary for time to exist. Time would be meaningless even for an existence but without events. There is existence of enormous mass and gravity in the core of a black hole, however, since there is no event; so time is a meaningless proposition there in the core of a black hole. Absence of event cause no time in the core of a black hole.

8. The conceptual time is irreversible in succession and uniformed in scale. In case of a clock dial; sixty uniformed divisions of seconds need to be within a circle of 360° exactly, it cannot be >360° to accommodate time dilation, nor can be <360° to accommodate time reduction.

Dimensions, space and time:

Dimension is  a measurable extent of a particular kind, such as length, breadth, depth, or height.

There are two kinds of dimensions

1. Perceptible dimensions:

viz. length, breadth and depth - these are dimensions of space and considered as real dimensions, interact able in reality.

2. Imperceptible dimensions: all dimensions above the dimensions of space as well as dimension below spatial dimension, these dimensions are not interact able by reality, i.e. anything occupying space or by space itself. Moreover, imperceptible dimensions are conceptual dimensions, not influence-able nor interact-able by reality,  as per the mathematical rules of dimensions.

3. Time itself thought to be occupying imperceptible dimension, above spatial dimensions, not interact-able nor influence-able by anything within or by spatial dimensions. Moreover, time is cosmic time, succeeds in irreversible, uniformed succession.

4. Time and space are different in characters, one is concept and the other is real respectively.

The clock represents real time in near approximation and reads by the order of conceptual cosmic time, and the clock and time - these two are different altogether.
