The investigation into the nature of clocks and their mechanisms provides insights into the intricate connection between time measurement, relativistic impacts, and the equation governing time dilation concerning speed's influence.

These factors collectively challenge the validity of the proposed equation, indicating its inability to maintain mathematical integrity and practical applicability. Considering foundational principles governing clock precision, adherence to universal time standards, and the influence of external factors on clock mechanisms, this paper asserts the need for a re-evaluation and revision of time dilation concepts. Empirical observations and theoretical frameworks must align with physical principles governing clock mechanisms and time measurement, necessitating a revision in the conventional understanding of time dilation within the relativistic context.

The Clock and its Mechanism:
A clock is a device used to measure time by displaying the hour, minute, and second using moving hands on its face. It can vary in size from being as large as a tower clock to as small as a wristwatch. Mechanical clocks use an oscillating mechanism to measure time and an escapement to count the beats. They are composed of three main components: the power source, regulator, and escapement. A clock typically has a circular face divided into 12 equal sections, with each section covering 30 degrees. An hour is completed when the minute hand completes a full rotation, covering 360 degrees. The physical harmonic oscillator is a vital component in modern clocks, ensuring consistent frequency movements to capture oscillations and convert them into precise timed pulses. Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) serves as the global standard for time, ensuring synchronization and coordination among the world's clocks and time, making it the primary reference for regulating clocks and timekeeping
Invalidity of Time Dilation Equation Considering Speed's Impact:
The equation for time dilation, taking into account the effect of speed, is t' = t /√(1-v²/c²). This time dilation equation is mathematically and practically incorrect for the valid reasons listed below:
(1) Universal Clock Time
The time displayed by the clock in most cases, where events are associated with time. The proper time ’t’ equals the overall time ’t’ displayed by the clock when on the ground state. The clock should adhere to a time standard such as (SI), and its mechanism should remain unaffected by external influences or interference.
(2). Consistency of Time Measurement Scale on Clocks and Watches:
The time measurement scale of a watch or clock is precisely divided into 360 degrees on its dial to represent the passage of time ’t,' and this measurement scale must consistently maintain 360 degrees regardless of any external factors or influences.
(3) Designing Clock Oscillation Frequency:
The clock's oscillation frequency is engineered by clockmakers, ensuring that the oscillation is mechanically or electronically pre-configured to mirror the accurate time on the clock dial, following the universal synchronization of time standards while on the ground state.
(4) Factors Affecting Clock Accuracy:
(a) Alteration in the degree (°) of the
clock-dial.
(b) External influences on the clock mechanism
like mechanical force and temperature causing deformations, application of
mechanical force due to speed or gravitational potential difference, etc.,
leading to errors in clock oscillation.
(c) Incorrect time representation and
erroneous time values displayed due to the reasons stated in (a) and (b).
(d) Dilation of time represented as t', which
exceeds the proper time, denoted as t' > t.
(e) Any discrepancy in time t is represented as Δt, signifying the time error as (t ± Δt), distinct from the time dilation t', expressed as t' ≠ (t ± Δt).
(5) Requirements for Accurate Time Representation:
Therefore, for a clock to accurately display time (t), it is necessary for the clock dial to measure exactly 360°. Additionally, the clock mechanism should remain undistorted by external influences. Only under these conditions can the clock accurately represent time (t).
(6) Issues with Dilation and Clock Representation:
(a) In accordance with relativity, the dilated
time t' surpasses the proper time t, denoted as t' > t.
(b) Consequently, the dilated time t' cannot
be accurately depicted on the 360° scale, the number of divisions on the 360°
dial intended for the proper time (t).
(c) The dilated time t' lacks a measurable
standard.
(d) Dilated time is influenced by relativistic effects and contradicts statements (1), (2), (3), and (5) mentioned earlier. However, it aligns with statements (4) and its subsections, causing distorted time rather than genuine time dilation.
(e) External relativistic effects distort the clock's oscillation frequency and the manufacturer's pre-adjustments to the clock mechanism, violating the statements outlined in items (3), (4)(a), (b), and (5) above.
(7) Relationship between Relative Time and Relative Frequency:
In addition to the preceding points, relative time stems from relative frequency. It pertains to the phase shift in relative frequency arising from the minute loss of wave energy and the subsequent enlargement in the oscillation's wavelength. This effect occurs within any clock between relative positions due to relativistic impacts—such as speed or variances in gravitational potential—leading to errors in clock time readings. These errors are incorrectly portrayed as time dilation, as asserted in a prior research paper titled 'Relativistic Effects on Phaseshift in Frequencies Invalidate Time Dilation II'.
(8) Inappropriateness of Altering Proper Time for Time Dilation:
(a) Therefore, any attempt to modify the
proper time 't' using "1/√(1-v²/c²)" is incorrect, as it contravenes
mathematical principles and leads to impossible equations. This operation does
not adhere to the applied mathematics process because the higher
fourth-dimensional concept of time does not interact with "1/√(1-v²/c²)"
to modify the value of proper time 't'. Modifying the conceptual
fourth-dimensional time or its scale to induce time dilation results in errors
in the proper time value. The equation for time dilation improperly creates
distorted time '(t+Δt) > t' by illicitly altering the proper time t.
(b) Referring to item No. (8), the paper titled 'Relativistic Effects on Phaseshift in Frequencies Invalidate Time Dilation II' presents experimental results linking time dilation to wavelength dilation due to the phase shift of frequency under relativistic effects.
(9) Conclusion:
The analysis of clocks and their mechanisms reveals the intricate relationship between time measurement, relativistic effects, and the equation for time dilation concerning speed's influence. Despite the conventional representation of time and the attempts to reconcile time dilation with relativistic theories, it becomes evident that the commonly accepted equation for time dilation, t' = t /√(1-v²/c²), is inherently flawed. Various foundational principles pertaining to clock precision, universal time standards, and the impact of external influences on clock mechanisms contribute to the un-tenability of this equation when accounting for relativistic effects.
The discrepancies identified, including the inconsistency between the representation of dilated time and the proper time, the distortion of clock oscillation due to relativistic influences, and the misunderstanding of time dilation in the context of wavelength dilation, altogether discredit the viability of the proposed equation.
Therefore, the proposed equation for time dilation, which seeks to account for the effect of speed, fails to uphold mathematical integrity and practical applicability. The underlying notions of time dilation require re-evaluation and revision to align with empirical observations and theoretical frameworks consistent with the physical principles governing clock mechanisms and time measurement.
