Critique of Gravitational Lensing and Spacetime Distortion

The original post raised questions about the inapplicability of time dilation in special relativity (1905) on a standardized time scale. While time dilation is indeed not applicable on a standardized time scale, the comment questions the phenomenon of gravitational lensing as predicted by general relativity theory (1916).

Gravitational lensing occurs when a large amount of matter creates a gravitational field that distorts and magnifies light from distant galaxies. However, the phenomenon of gravitational lensing is not a consequence of spacetime curvature but rather the symmetric exchange of photon momentum (Δρ). This relationship between the external gravitational field and object motion raises questions about the necessity of including spacetime distortion in gravitational theory.

The behaviour of photons in strong external gravitational fields reveals the interactions between photon energy, momentum, and wavelength. The conservation principles involved demonstrate how changes in wavelength affect photon energy while maintaining total energy constancy. The direct impact of the gravitational field on object motion is proven to be indisputable in eradicating spacetime distortion


Why Time Dilation is Not Possible
A 360° time scale is always fixed, and a 360° clock dial cannot be greater than >360° or less than <360°. Thus, the 360° movement of the hour hand or second hand should be exactly one hour and one minute, respectively. Any deviations from this should be known as an error in time. This is why time dilation is not possible since a 360° time scale cannot accommodate dilated time unless there is an error in time.
