The explanation of time as presented in relativity is widely regarded as the best description of time, primarily due to its reliance on relativistic principles. This interpretation has remained influential and largely unchallenged since the publication of Einstein's theory of special relativity in 1905. However, recent research and advancements in scientific understanding challenge the relativistic notion of time.

Einstein's dismissal of the classical interpretation of time in favour of the relativistic framework went unopposed for decades. Yet, contemporary findings suggest that time does not dilate in the manner proposed by relativity. Instead, any perceived alteration in the natural progression of time should be treated as an error in time measurement rather than an actual dilation. Furthermore, the concept of time dilation inherently invites its counterpart—time contraction—when the influencing factors are reversed. This duality contradicts the fundamental principle that the scale of time (∆t) must remain constant. Any deviation, whether a dilation (t′) or contraction (-t′), leads to errors in time measurement, as standard clock mechanisms cannot accommodate these variations. A dilated time scale (∆t+t′) exceeds the standard scale, while a contracted time scale fails to complete it.

For instance, the clock face represents a fixed 360° cycle, symbolizing the uniform progression of time. A dilated time cannot fit within this 360° framework, while a contracted time would fall short of completing the cycle, resulting in measurement inaccuracies. Furthermore, while clock time is a representation of cosmic time, the relativistic interpretation focuses solely on clock time and violates the very essence of cosmic time.

Cosmic time is defined as the continuous and irreversible progression of existence and events through the past, present, and future, regarded as an integrated whole. It exists beyond spatial dimensions in the fourth dimension and progresses without reversal. Relativity, however, imposes an artificial ordering of events based on natural time, failing to recognize that existential events invoke conceptual time rather than natural time.

My research, supported by mathematical formulations and experimental evidence, challenges this relativistic perspective. I have explored time distortion through piezoelectric oscillator experiments, the human perception of time, and the role of entropy in defining time. These studies highlight flaws in the experiments supporting time dilation, which were biased and employed improper techniques. Instead of identifying the true cause of errors—namely, distortions in the wavelength of oscillations—these experiments prematurely concluded that time dilation was occurring.

Wavelength, being directly proportional to the time period, shows that errors in wavelength lead to errors in time measurement—not to time dilation. Relativistic time dilation fails to account for this fundamental relationship and overlooks the broader context of wavelength distortion, which is a more general phenomenon. Consequently, the concept of relativistic time dilation is fundamentally flawed in its understanding of time and its measurement. Time dilation is rather error in time reading.
