A single universal reference frame under cosmic time:

The assertion that the challenge does not arise because of the equivalence principle is consistent with the assumption that universal synchronization implies the equivalence of all reference frames. This interpretation emphasizes the fundamental role of a single universal reference frame under cosmic time, which, in turn, aligns with the principles of the equivalence principle of general relativity. This implies that the concept of a single universal reference frame under cosmic time plays a fundamental role in formulating and governing the equivalence principle.

This perspective suggests that the principle of equivalence is, in essence, a consequence or reflection of the broader concept of a single universal frame of reference under cosmic time. This underscores the pursuit of a consistent and unifying framework within theoretical physics.

In theoretical physics, discussion of a preferred reference frame or cosmic time often reconciles the universal view with the preferred principle of relativity. This interpretation highlights the primacy of the idea of a single universal reference frame under cosmic time in influencing and shaping the equivalence principle of general relativity.

This assertion seeks to provide an unbiased analysis of the statements, aligning them with the equivalence principle. Here are the key points regarding the scientific consistency of the assertion:

The assertion highlights the alignment of the explanation with established principles of physics, such as the equivalence principle. It reflects a commitment to grounding explanations in existing scientific frameworks.

The assertion emphasizes the conceptual coherence between the concept of a single universal reference frame under cosmic time and the principle of equivalence, which reflects a logical and internally consistent approach to interpretation.

Noting that the explanation underscores the search for a consistent and unifying framework within theoretical physics, the assertion aligns with the scientific method's goal of developing comprehensive and integrated theories.

The assertion acknowledges that interpretations may vary within the scientific community, indicating an openness to different perspectives. It is consistent with the scientific process.

Overall, the assertion demonstrates an attempt to provide a scientifically sound analysis that considers established principles, acknowledges different perspectives, and maintains conceptual coherence. It reflects an understanding of the dynamic and evolving nature of scientific understanding.

Question: Why is there no time dilation for the frequency of a wave?:

The answer to this question is based on the following conditions:-

(i) Experiencing time distortion involves motions that are less than the speed of electromagnetic waves.

(ii) Both the relevant event and the clock measuring such event will have mass.

The above mentioned two conditions are not fulfilled in the time measurement of the frequency of a wave in propagation.

Furthermore, (iii) at the frequency of the propagating wave, mass is not significantly involved and a clock with mass is not carried along with such propagation phenomena to measure time.

(iv) When the wave has propagation delay at such frequency. and, (v) there are other influential delays such as Doppler, gravitational or cosmic redshift, and other effects such as thermal or electromagnetic fluxes.

However, with respect to the frequency of the propagating wave, there are indeed time delays corresponding to propagation delay and redshift, etc., but they are not specifically measured as time distortions. Because the measurement of time distortion is relevant to some phenomena and clocks, on the other hand, to the phenomenon of wave frequency in propagation; Specifically, time is not measured.

Analysis of the above statements:

Propagation Delay and Redshift:

Propagation delay and redshift are specific to electromagnetic waves, which travel at the speed of light ('c') as massless photons.

The conditions for time dilation involve motions less than the speed of electromagnetic waves, and clocks measuring events should have mass.

Massless clocks are not practical, and time dilation, therefore, is not specifically measured for wave propagation due to the inherent characteristics of electromagnetic waves.

Role of Mass in Time Dilation:

All clocks that measure time for humans will have mass.

Time dilation involves speeds less than the speed of light ('c'), and at 'c', only energy exists, not cold mass.

Time distortion (commonly referred to as time dilation) needs to be measured by a clock with mass, emphasizing the crucial role of mass in the context of time dilation.

Propagation Speed and Time Dilation:

Time dilation is not possible for propagating waves at the speed of light ('c') because the conditions for time dilation involve motions at speeds less than 'c', and wave frequency in propagation is equal to 'c'.
