WAS EINSTEIN WRONG ABOUT RELATIVITY OF TIME ?

WAS EINSTEIN WRONG ABOUT RELATIVITY OF TIME ?

 

Let’s consider one of the main conclusion to which Einstein came with his famous 1905 article about special relativity:

 

"

… from which we have to deduct the following peculiar consequence. If considering two marks A and B of K on which are set two synchronized clocks at rest and if we move the clock located in A at a V speed along the straight joining A from B then, when this clock is up to reach the B clock, those two clocks are no longer synchronized: the one having moved from A to B is delayed of ½ t (v/C²) sec. compared to the B clock at rest…"

 

Let’s consider this in a practical manner. First of all we have to be rid of the idea of "clocks at rest" for in the Universe nothing is at "rest" (see "Relativity dead end").

The best we could do would be to locate two clocks in two spots along the equatorial line. They will be "at rest" one to the other, but submitted (among others) to the same Earth motion (about 1 000 miles per hour rotation speed to the East). Let’s now suppose the first one (A) being located in Singapore (Sumatra island) and the second (B) at Quito (Equator). They are half Earth circumference away each other.

 

And now the A clock will be set in an airplane to get to Quito where stand the B clock, at the speed of 1 000 miles per hour. Two courses are possible, to the East or to the West. It should make no difference because distances are identical and the airplane speed too. But according to an extraterrestrial point of view there is one main difference: cumulative speed. If the airplane flight is heading East, the speed should be the addition of Earth plus airplane speed, 1 000 m/h + 1 000 m/h = 2 000 m/h. If the flight is heading West its speed should be subtracted from Earth speed: 1 000 m/h – 1 000 m/h = 0.

 

According to Einstein equation, ½ t (v/C²) s, the gap between the two clocks should result different because "v" is different. And, in fact, such experience has been made in 1971 with atomic clocks flying East and West, and the result came to be 59st billions part of a second delay when clock was flying toward East and 273st billions part of a second ahead when flying toward West. This is verify too with our moderns satellites. Hurray! Special relativity was right. Not so sure…!

 

Let’s figure now another experience which has not yet been set. The A clock being still located in Singapore, meanwhile the B clock would be relocated at North Pole. If the speed at the equatorial line is still 1 000 m/h, the one at North Pole is… 0 m/h. The A clock, located in Singapore, should come with a slight delay to compare with the B clock located at North Pole, with no need to move any clock toward the other. I bet that a slim delay from the A clock would appear. Should that means the impossibility to get clocks synchronized on Earth? Obviously not and to verify it we should try an additional experience.

 

A geo-stationary satellite located at equal distance from Singapore and North Pole, some part above China and Mongolia border, is able to produce a flash light every ten seconds, some kind of a lighthouse. This may be considered as a perfect clock. If time is slightly delayed in Singapore to compare with North Pole time, the flash light reception should be slightly delayed too. But how this could happen when we have to consider that

1°) emission is common, 2°) distance is identical, 3°) flash light speed C, is equal ?

 

Let me bet, again, that flash light is gone be received at the exactly same moment at each spot! In this case it looks like relativity of time does not work anymore. How come?

 

The answer lie in the atomic clock working and we will see, in our next article, how a misleading relativity of time theory will bring about an understanding of gravity force.

NEXT: IS GENERAL RELATIVITY WRONG TOO ?
