Time – as Understood in Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM)

July 25, 2025

Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM) asserts that time originates from energetic transitions and vibrational dynamics—not as a coordinate or dimension but as a physically emergent metric from real phenomena. This challenges relativistic interpretations that treat time as flexible and observer-dependent.

Why ECM Cannot Rely on the Relativistic Concept of Time

Relativity-based time dilation, governed by the Lorentz factor γ = 1/√(1 − v²/c²), has been critically challenged in ECM-related studies for the following reasons:

Critique Summary:
Neglect of acceleration: γ accounts only for relative velocity (v), not for the acceleration (a) that leads to that velocity.

Inapplicability in normal conditions: At low velocities (e.g. v = 100 m/s or even 1,000,000 m/s), γ ≈ 1, yielding negligible change. Thus, it’s non-functional in most real-world scenarios.

Lack of material response (k): The Lorentz formulation overlooks material stiffness or energetic resistance, a critical factor in energetic transitions.

Incompatibility with mass–energy transitions: ECM treats energy-mass transformation (Δm, ΔE) with direct application of phase-frequency dynamics, whereas γ fails to account for dynamic nuclear-scale interactions or stiffness-modulated deformation.

Conceptual deformation of classical structure: γ introduces a deformation of classical interpretations rather than an expansion or completion.
