RESULTS

This section introduces two key concepts that deepen our understanding of wave behaviour and its practical implications: Time distortion and infinitesimal loss of wave energy. These concepts focus on the temporal aspects of phase shift and offer valuable insights into the energy dynamics of wave phenomena.

Time distortion

The concept of time distortion (Δt) is a pivotal bridge between

phase shift analysis and precise time measurements, particularly in applications where accuracy is paramount. Time distortion represents the temporal shift that occurs as a consequence of a 1° phase shift in a wave.

Consider a 5 MHz wave as an example. A 1° phase shift on this wave corresponds to a time shift of approximately 555 picoseconds (ps). In other words, when a wave experiences a 1° phase shift, specific events or points on the waveform appear displaced in time by this minuscule but significant interval.

Time distortion is a crucial consideration in various fields, including telecommunications, navigation systems, and scientific instruments. Understanding and quantifying this phenomenon enables scientists and engineers to make precise time measurements and synchronize systems accurately [6].

Infinitesimal loss of wave energy

In addition to time distortion, this research delves into the intricacies of infinitesimal wave energy loss (ΔE) concerning phase shift. It provides a framework for quantifying the diminutive energy losses experienced by waves as a result of various factors, with phase shift being a central element.

The equations presented in this research allow for the calculation of ΔE under different scenarios. These scenarios consider parameters such as phase shift, time distortion, and source frequencies. By understanding how phase shift contributes to energy loss, researchers and engineers gain valuable insights into the practical implications of this phenomenon.

Infinitesimal wave energy loss has implications in fields ranging from quantum mechanics to telecommunications. It underlines the importance of precision in wave-based systems and highlights the trade-offs between manipulating phase for various applications and conserving wave energy.

In summary, this section serves as an introduction to the intricate concepts of time distortion and infinitesimal loss of wave energy. These concepts provide a more comprehensive picture of wave

Phase shift calculations and example

To illustrate the practical application of the derived equations of phase shift T(deg), an example calculation is presented:

Phase Shift Example 1:1° Phase Shift on a 5 MHz Wave.

The calculation demonstrates how to determine the time shift caused by a 1° phase shift on a 5 MHz wave. It involves substituting the known frequency (f=5 MHz) into the equation for T(deg).

T(deg)=(1/f)/360; f=5 MHz (5,000,000 Hz)

Now, plug in the frequency (f) into the equation for T(deg). T(deg)={1/(5,000,000 Hz)}/360 Calculate the value of T(deg).

T(deg) ≈ 555 picoseconds (ps)

So, a 1° phase shift on a 5 MHz wave corresponds to a time shift of approximately 555 picoseconds (ps).

Loss of wave energy calculations and example

Loss of wave energy example 1: To illustrate the practical applications of the derived equations of loss of wave energy, example calculation is presented.

Oscillation frequency 5 MHz, when 0° Phase shift in frequency

This calculation demonstrate how to determine the energy (E1) and infinitesimal loss of energy (ΔE) of an oscillatory wave, whose frequency (f1) is 5 MHz, and Phase shift T(deg)=0° (i.e. no phase shift).

To determine the energy (E1) and infinitesimal loss of energy (ΔE) of an oscillatory wave with a frequency (f1) of 5 MHz and a phase shift T(deg) of 0°, use the following equations:

Calculate the energy (E1) of the oscillatory wave:

E1=hf1

Where, h is Planck's constant ≈6.626 × 10-34 J•s, f1 is the frequency of the wave, which is 5 MHz (5 × 106 Hz). E1={6.626 × 10-34 J•s} × (5 × 106 Hz)=3.313 × 10-27 J

So, the energy (E1) of the oscillatory wave is approximately 3.313 × 10-27 Joules. To determine the infinitesimal loss of energy (ΔE), use the formula

ΔE=hfΔt

Where, h is Planck's constant {6.626 × 10-34 J•s}, f1 is the frequency of the wave (5 × 106 Hz).

Δt is the infinitesimal time interval, and in this case, since there's no phase shift, T(deg)=0°, Δt=0.

ΔE={6.626 × 10-34 J•s} × (5 × 106 Hz) × 0=0 (Joules)

The infinitesimal loss of energy (ΔE) is 0 joules because there is no phase shift, meaning there is no energy loss during this specific time interval.

Resolved, the energy (E₁) of the oscillatory wave with a frequency of 5 MHz and no phase shift is approximately 3.313 × 10-27 Joules.

There is no infinitesimal loss of energy (ΔE) during this specific

time interval due to the absence of a phase shift.

Loss of wave energy example 2: To illustrate the practical applications of the derived equations of loss of wave energy, example calculation is presented.

Original oscillation frequency 5 MHz, when 1° Phase shift compared to original frequency.

This calculation demonstrate how to determine the energy (E2) and infinitesimal loss of energy (ΔE) of another oscillatory wave, compared to the original frequency (f1) of 5 MHz and Phase shift T(deg)=1°, resulting own frequency (f2).

To determine the energy (E2) and infinitesimal loss of energy (ΔE) of another oscillatory wave with a 1° phase shift compared to the original frequency (f1) of 5 MHz, and to find the resulting frequency (f2) of the wave, follow these steps:

Calculate the energy (E2) of the oscillatory wave with the new frequency (f2) using the Planck's energy formula.

E2=hf2

Where, h is Planck's constant ≈ 6.626 × 10 -34 J•s, f2 is the new frequency of the wave.

Calculate the change in frequency (Δf2) due to the 1° phase shift:
Δf2=(1°/360°) × f1

Where, 1° is the phase shift, 360° is the full cycle of phase.

f₁ is the original frequency, which is 5 MHz (5 × 106 Hz). Δf2=(1/360) × (5 × 106 Hz)=13,888.89 Hz

Now that you have Δf2, you can calculate the new frequency (f2):
f2=f1-Δf2

f2=(5 × 106 Hz)-(13,888.89 Hz) ≈ 4,986,111.11 Hz

So, the resulting frequency (f2) of the oscillatory wave with a 1° phase shift is approximately 4,986,111.11 Hz.

Calculate the energy (E2) using the new frequency (f2).

E2=hf2

E2 ≈ (6.626 × 10-34 J•s) × (4,986,111.11 Hz) ≈ 3.313 × 10-27 J

So, the energy (E2) of the oscillatory wave with a frequency of approximately 4,986,111.11 Hz and a 1° phase shift is also approximately 3.313 × 10-27 Joules.

To determine the infinitesimal loss of energy (ΔE) due to the phase shift, use the formula.

ΔE=hfΔt

Where, h is Planck's constant (6.626 × 10-34J•s), f2 is the new frequency (approximately) 4,986,111.11 Hz.

Δt is the infinitesimal time interval, which corresponds to the phase shift.

Known that the time shift resulting from a 1° phase shift is approximately 555 picoseconds (ps)

So, Δt=555 ps=555 × 10-12 s. Now, calculate ΔE.

ΔE=(6.626 × 10-34 J•s) × (4,986,111.11 Hz) × (555 × 10-12 s) ≈ 1.848 × 10-27 J

So, the infinitesimal loss of energy (ΔE) due to the 1° phase shift is approximately 1.848 × 10-27 Joules.

Mathematical Presentation:

1. Introduction to Phase Shift and Its Relation with Angular Frequency and Time: 

Introduction to Phase Shift" and "Definition of Parameter 'n'. 

This presentation aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of phase shift (Φ) concerning angular frequency (ω), and time (t), along with the convenient representation of phase shift in degrees 'T(deg)'.

In wave mechanics, the phase shift in frequency 'f' is commonly denoted by the symbol 'Φ' (phi). The equation for phase shift 'Φ' for a frequency 'f' is expressed as:

Φ = ωt

Where:

• Φ (phi) represents the phase shift,

• ω (omega) denotes the angular frequency, measured in radians per unit time,

• t signifies the time.

1.1. Definition of Parameter 'n' in Phase Shift Calculations:

This definition aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of phase shift representation, incorporating the equation n =−360 + x°. 'n' serves as a parameter used to express the degree of phase shift (x°) in a manner that accounts for a full cycle (360°). It's defined as:

n = −360 + x°

Where:

• n is the parameter representing the phase shift.

• x° is the degree of phase shift, ranging from zero to a full cycle.

This equation ensures that phase shifts are properly aligned relative to a full cycle. The constant term -360 adjusts the phase shift to maintain consistency, as 360° represents one complete cycle or period.

The mathematical presentation of the definition clarifies the role of the equation:

• When the phase shift from 'x' to 'n' is −360°, and 'n' is positioned at '0' - one cycle before 'x' - then a phase shift of 'x' is 0° at the origin of the oscillation or wave.

• When 'n' is at 0° phase shift from the origin of 'x', positioned at '0' - one cycle before 'x' - then 'x' represents a phase shift of 360° of the oscillation or wave.

• When 'n' is at 90° phase shift from the origin of the oscillation or wave, then 'x' represents a phase shift of 450°.

• When 'n' is at 360° phase shift from the origin of the oscillation or wave, then 'x' represents a phase shift of 720°.

Thus, the definition ensures that 'n' properly accounts for the phase shift relative to a full cycle and maintains mathematical consistency in phase shift calculations.

Additionally, we can express the relationship between phase shift (x°), parameter 'n', and the phase shift represented in degrees (T) as follows:

x° - n = T

This expression highlights the equivalence between the phase shift represented by 'x°' and the parameter 'n', which in turn determines the phase shift 'T' in degrees.

2. Adjusting Phase Shift Equation for Time Changes and Degree Representation Using Parameter 'n':

When there is a change in time, such as a time delay or time distortion (Δt), the equation is adjusted to incorporate this change.

Φ = 360 · f · Δt

This equation represents the phase shift 'Φ' in terms of the frequency 'f' and the time shift Δt, allowing for the calculation of phase shift when there is a change in time.

Alternatively, the phase shift in frequency 'f' can be expressed in degrees using the symbol T(deg). While ω typically represents angular frequency in radians per unit time, T(deg) allows for the representation of phase shift in degrees rather than radians.

The derived equations for expected values of x° represented through 'n' in terms of 'x°', we can use the relation 'n = −360 + x°'. This equation indicates that 'n' is equal to the degree of phase shift 'x°', adjusted by a constant (-360). We can rewrite this equation to express 'x°' in terms of 'n' as follows:

x° = n + 360

Now, substituting this expression for 'x°' into the equation 'T(deg) = (x/360)T', we get:

Simplifying this equation:

T(deg) = (n/360) T + T

This equation represents the phase shift 'T(deg)' in degrees in relation to the parameter 'n', which represents the specific phase shift '(-360 + x°)' affecting the frequency change. It captures the expected values of 'x°' through the parameter 'n'.

3. Correlation between Phase Shift Representation in Degrees and Frequency:

The phase shift in frequency 'f' is conveniently represented by the symbol T(deg) to indicate phase shift in degrees. As the time interval or period (T) of the frequency (f) is represented by the expression T = 360°, T(deg) is also a representation of the degree of phase shift in T. The following expressions describe the relationship between phase shift and the degree of phase shift:

Time interval or period T = 360° 

For 1° of phase shift, T(deg) = (1/360) T

For x° of phase shift, T(deg) = (x/360) T

The numerator '1' in the equation T(deg) = (1/360) T increases linearly with the degree of phase shift, denoted as x°, which progresses as 1°, 2°, 3°... and so forth. Given that T = 1/f, for 1° of phase shift, T(deg) = (1/f) (1/360), and for x° of phase shift, T(deg) = (x/f) (1/360).

This statement elucidates the relationship between phase shift T(deg) and the degree of phase shift x for a given frequency f. It highlights the direct correlation between the numerator '1' in the equation "T(deg) = (1/360) T " and the degree of phase shift. Moreover, by substituting T = 1/f into the equation, expressions for both 1° and x° of phase shift are derived.

Since the equation T(deg) = 1/360 T can be expressed as:

T(deg) = (x/f) (1/360)

Where:

• T(deg): Represents the phase shift in degrees.

• x: Represents the degree of phase shift.

• f: Represents the frequency.

• 1/360: This term is a constant factor that converts the phase shift from radians to degrees.

• Here, x represents the ratio of the degree of phase shift to the frequency, indicating how the phase shift changes relative to the frequency.

This single equation efficiently captures both scenarios: for 1° of phase shift and for x° of phase shift.

4. Relationship between Phase Shift Values in Degrees and Time Delay/Time Distortion:

The time interval T(deg) for a 1° phase shift is inversely proportional to the frequency (f), resulting in a corresponding time shift (Δt). Utilizing the previously derived equations, we establish that for an x° phase shift, T(deg) = (x/360) T. Since T = 1/f, this equation can be expressed as T(deg) = (x/f) (1/360), or alternatively as (n/360) T + T. This relationship corresponds to the time shift (Δt). The expression is: 

T(deg) = (x/f) (1/360) = (n/360)T+T = Δt.

This presentation discusses the relationship between phase shift values represented in degrees (T(deg)) and the corresponding time delay or time distortion (Δt). It begins by highlighting that the time interval T(deg) for a 1° phase shift is inversely proportional to the frequency (f), leading to a time shift Δt. The statement then proceeds to use derived equations to express T(deg) for an x° phase shift.

Given that T = 1/f, the equation T(deg) = (x/360) T can be re-expressed as T(deg) = (x/f) (1/360), demonstrating the relationship between phase shift, frequency, and time. Additionally, it introduces the parameter 'n,' representing the specific phase shift (-360 + x°), which allows for another representation of T(deg) as (n/360) T + T. This equation showcases the relationship between phase shift values and the resulting time delay.

The concluding part of the statement reaffirms the equivalence of the two expressions for T(deg) and highlights their relationship to the time delay, denoted as Δt. Therefore, the statement clarifies how phase shift values correspond to time distortions, providing a clear understanding of their relationship.

5. Correlations between Phase Shift, Time, and Angular Frequency Changes.

From the equations discussed previously, it's evident that changes in Phase Shift (Φ) or Time (t) correspond to alterations in Angular Frequency (ω). Considering a change in angular frequencies, denoted as Δω, it reflects the difference between two angular frequencies: the original angular frequency (ω₀) and the resulting angular frequency (ω₁). Therefore, the change in angular frequency is expressed as 

Δω = (ω₀ - ω₁) 

6. Relationship between Phase Shift, Time Distortion, and Frequency Changes:

Similarly, from the previously discussed equations, it's apparent that changes in Phase Shift 'T(deg)' or Time Delay/Time Distortion (Δt) lead to adjustments in frequency (f). Now, let's examine the change in frequencies, denoted as Δf. Δf represents the disparity between two frequencies: the original frequency (f₀) and the resulting frequency (f₁). Thus, the change in frequencies is expressed as: 

Δf = (f₀ - f₁) 

7. Determination of Resulting Angular and Frequency Changes:

The resulting Angular frequency ω₁ can be determined either when the original/source Angular frequency ω₀ is known or measured, or Time (t) is known or measured.

Similarly, the resulting frequency f₁ can be determined either when the original/source frequency f₀ is known or measured, and any one of either phase shift in x° or time shift (Δt) is known or measured.

8. Adjustments for Phase Shift, Time, and Frequency Changes:

The above mentioned equations express the correlations between phase shift, time, angular frequency, and frequency changes in wave mechanics. It begins by noting that changes in phase shift (Φ) or time (t) induce alterations in angular frequency (ω) and frequency (f). The difference between two angular frequencies, namely the original (ω₀) and resulting (ω₁) frequencies, is expressed as Δω = (ω₀ - ω₁), signifying a change in angular frequency.

Similarly, adjustments in phase shift 'T(deg)' or time delay/time distortion 'Δt' lead to changes in frequency 'f'. The disparity between the original (f₀) and resulting (f₁) frequencies is represented by Δf = (f₀ - f₁), indicating a change in frequency.

Furthermore, the text discusses how the resulting angular frequency (ω₁) can be determined when the original angular frequency (ω₀) and time (t) are known. Likewise, the resulting frequency (f₁) can be determined when the original frequency (f₀) is known, along with either the phase shift in x° or the time shift (Δt).

This following equation represents the resulting angular frequency ω₁ as the original angular frequency ω₀ minus the product of the angular frequency ω and time t.

ω₁ = 2πf₀ - (ω·t) 

Breakdown of the components:

• ω₁: This represents the resulting angular frequency, which is the frequency of a wave after some change has occurred.

• 2πf₀: This term represents the original angular frequency ω₀ converted from frequency f₀ using the formula ω = 2πf. It denotes the angular frequency before any change or alteration.

• (ω•t): This term represents the product of the angular frequency ω and time t. It accounts for the change or alteration in the angular frequency due to the passage of time.

The equation describes the equation for the resulting angular frequency ω₁ in terms of the original angular frequency ω₀ and the passage of time t. 

9. Derivation of Resulting Frequency Equation:

This equation defines the resulting frequency f₁ in relation to the original frequency f₀ and the phase shift x° (in degrees).

f₁ = (f₀ - x) / {T(deg) · 360}

Breakdown of the components:

• f₁: Represents the resulting frequency, indicating the frequency of a wave post-change

• f₀: Denotes the original frequency, representing the frequency before any alteration.

• x: Signifies the degree of phase shift, indicating the extent of change in the wave's phase.

• T(deg): Represents the phase shift in degrees relative to the wave's period.

• 360: Represents one complete cycle of the wave, equivalent to 360° or 2π radians.

This equation illustrates how the resulting frequency f₁ varies with the original frequency f₀ and the degree of phase shift x°. The phase shift in degrees T(deg) adjusts the frequency, considering the extent of phase shift relative to the wave's period. Overall, the equation effectively captures the interplay between phase shift, frequency, and the resulting frequency following a change.

10. Equation for Resulting Frequency in Terms of Time Shift:

This equation represents the resulting frequency f₁ in terms of the time shift Δt.

f₁ = 1/(Δt×360)

Breakdown of the components:

• f₁: Represents the resulting frequency, which is the frequency of a wave after some change has occurred

• Δt: Represents the time shift, also known as time distortion. It is the difference in time between the original wave and the resulting wave, causing a change in frequency. When Δt is positive, it implies a delay in time, leading to a decrease in frequency. Conversely, when 

• Δt is negative, it signifies an advancement in time, resulting in an increase in frequency.

Therefore, the equation f₁ = 1/(Δt×360) succinctly expresses how the resulting frequency f₁ is determined by the reciprocal of the product of the time shift Δt and 360. This equation captures the relationship between frequency changes and time shifts in the context of wave mechanics, providing a mathematically consistent representation.

Why the relativistic interpretation of photon energy is inadequate and incomplete?:

When a photon undergoes transformation:

The incident photon hits the mirror's surface at the speed of light (c) and its speed is reduced upon impact.

The electron absorbs the photon, converting its energy, leading to absorption loss and subsequent remission.

This absorption and re-emission process repeats, resulting in accumulated absorption loss.

This leads to infinitesimal changes in energy, frequency, and time delay.

The re-emitted photon has less energy than the incident photon at c.

However, relativistic reflection overlooks this phenomenon and assumes the photon maintains a constant speed of c throughout the reflection process.

Relativity does not consider photon energy but assumes constant speed, even in dense transparent mediums where refraction occurs.

Relativity ignores photon interactions within external gravitational fields, failing to recognize that curved spacetime is not necessary for gravitational lensing.

There is doubt whether the presenter intended to suppress Newtonian mechanics and Planck's equations to protect the relativistic interpretation of time and curved spacetime.

Question: Is it possible for a second and more time dimensions to exist?

The questioner further explained his question: "Finding out that string theory and such is all about increasing the spatial dimension, is there a temporal dimension?"

My answer is, "In short, one thing is certain, regardless of the spatial dimension or hyper-dimension, the temporal dimension or time dimension is always placed above the event dimension. In addition, placing temporal dimensions within event dimensions would cause serious inconsistencies. Furthermore, I do not find the concept of multiple dimensions plausible. I found this answer in my research efforts."
