Hi.
It is said that time can only go slower in gravity fields and if you move faster.
I have heard that when a gravity wave pass earth then the space/time vibrate and time change for an instance.
But a wave is often with a top and a valley.
So what if we could compare time ticks between clocks on different planets.
Will we only detect that time ticks slower for an instance when the gravity wave pass?
Or will we detect that time tick faster than normal time also, as compared to zero gravity time and no movement time?

Yes, you would see a difference between ticks of atomic clocks on two different planets if the planets had a different mass, or if you were at a different distance from the center of mass - perhaps because the planets had a different density, or you were orbiting the planet, for example.
But you don't need to go to a different planet - you can detect the difference in time between the Earth's surface and the GPS satellites in Earth orbit. The GPS satellites contain an atomic clock, and it is intentionally set "wrong" when the satellite is manufactured on Earth, so that it will be "correct" once it is in orbit, moving very quickly above Earth's surface. Of course "correct" is only correct from the viewpoint of someone on Earth's surface.
Will we only detect that time ticks slower for an instance when the gravity wave pass?
I'm sorry to tell you that we have not yet detected any gravity waves passing.
This effect, predicted by Einstein is very subtle - it amounts to:
changing the 4 kilometer mirror spacing by about 10−18 m, less than one-thousandth the diameter of a proton
Scientists have recently restarted the LIGO detectors with improved sensitivity, and they are hopeful that they might be able to detect gravitational wave events in the next year - but this depends on whether there is some dramatic event within detection range in the next year (like coliding black holes, or an unbalanced spinning pulsar).
So you can easily detect time dilation, even without being able to detect any gravity waves passing the Earth.

The gravity wave make space/time vibrate, when it pass earth.
Can space/time curve so that time go faster than normal zero gravity time and zero speed time.
My question was if the time can go faster AND slower in the instance the gravity wave pass earth or just slower?

You may find the following pdf to be of interest:
arxiv.org/pdf/1501.00996v2.pdf
The short answer is yes a passing gravity wave is expected to distort time just like it distorts space.

I need to know this.
Does theories show that time can go faster than normal zero gravity time and zero speed time?
Have anybody calculated how much faster time can go in curved space/time in its most extreme curvature?
Can time go let's say twice as fast, as a theoretic calculation, compared to zero gravity and zero velocity?

How do you establish zero velocity?

Zero gravity time and zero velocity time is a total flat space/time curvature, where the time has its universal speed.

Time dilation doesn't only happen in a strong gravitational field. It happens as velocity increases. When approaching close to the speed of light it increases exponentially.

I will repeat my question.
I need to know this.
I know about time in gravity and at speeds but I need a answer from someone with at least master in physics.
Does theories show that time can go faster than normal zero gravity time and zero speed time?
Have anybody calculated how much faster time can go in curved space/time in its most extreme space/time curvature?
Can time go let's say twice as fast (in theoretical calculations) compared to zero gravity time / zero velocity time?

OK. Let's say for arguments sake that you are in a universe with an absolute frame of reference against which all other frames can be measured. If an object is stationary relative to the absolute frame then dilation of time is at it's minimum and here time is running faster than anywhere else in this universe. I can see no way of speeding time up any further. You are at a maximum for the rate of change at this point. This would be equivalent to the absence of any gravitational field. As if the object is at infinity. Why do you think this might be possible?

"Let's say for arguments sake that you are in a universe with an absolute frame of reference against which all other frames can be measured. "
Let's say a gravity wave pass this "absolute frame of reference" where time has its maximum universal speed.
Will time only slow down in the instance the gravity wave passes,
or will time slow down AND go faster than time in "absolute frame of reference"?
Can a gravity wave theoretical/mathematically, curve space/time so that time goes let's say ten times faster than time in "absolute frame of reference"?

I can't meet your requirement for a master of physics so I won't offer any opinion. However, reading through the paper quoted above I think there are some useful pointers there. If you look at Fig 1 it shows h00 varying around an implied zero axis, if that is correct then the wave should go -ve as well as +ve. Just a first observation as I haven't finished reading the whole paper.

Yes.
But it is still a very smal time relation and even if it is positive delta time, it does not say if the x-axis is "absolute frame of reference" where time has its maximum universal speed.
I still need to know:

Ok, I think I understand what you are asking.
Firstly, if you have an area of space with zero g, what you call flat spacetime or absolute reference frame, then clock will only run slower in space with +g.
Although waves have a top and a valley think of a violin string, when it vibrates the top and valley are both perturbations of curvature away from the zero curvature rather than +&- in the sense of an AC electrical voltage. From what I can see the gravity wave is a similar type of peturbation, perhaps more akin to an overpressure wave. So time/clocks would not go faster.
What does anyone else think?

A gravity wave should increase time dilation and length contraction as it passes. However, since no one has detected a gravity wave, this has not been verified experimentally. I don't even know if it can be verified. Other than the effects of gravity waves being like heat wave disturbances in the atmosphere there may be few other ways of visualizing this. It would depend upon the intensity of the gravity wave. Light sources would likely be the only way of determining the dilation. Measurement of photon arrival times should differ from sources at known distances. These may be a bad indicator of the effect since any differences in speed would be so low in magnitude as to be undetectable. The only way to be certain of the magnitude of time dilation would be to observe these light sources in vacuum. If time does go faster than a hypothetical universal frame then light should appear to be traveling at a superluminal speed as the wave passes. This would be a very difficult experiment to carry out.

Ok, while you are waiting I will chat to Jefffery.
A gravity wave should increase time dilation and length contraction as it passes.
This is the way GR indicates. If you think of spacetime curvature it doesn't matter which way it curves it will still produce time dilation.
Imagine a mass at a zero gravity location, define a direction left (I'm avoiding up and down [;)]) if a gravity wave passes and the mass moves left we can say it was due to spacetime curvature and slower time towards the left. Say the next wave moves it to the right, would we say -ve gravity did this, meaning faster time on the left? Or +ve gravity ie slower time on the right. From GR, if you are in truly flat spacetime the only way you can go is curved and that means slower time.
PS I really don't like calling it slower time, we ought to agree a way of describing it. Pete suggested 'clocks run slow' which seems to be used in SR.

Well my interpretation of the theory is that time vibrate and goes both faster and slower when a GW pass earth.
So I need to get some answers from someone who work with the gravity wave theories.
Any theoretical physics teachers here or similar who can show a mathematical interpretation?

Could you give details of your calculation please.
Are you assuming when it 'pass earth' that it is inside the gravitational influence of earth, or are you assuming it passing through a zero g field?

gravity waves are not what is being referred to here. gravitational waves are what is. i can't post links yet so you'll have to find your own.

We had assumed that, but are making allowances for Magnus's English. I think the issue here is whether GR allows for a curvature which gives faster clocks, he seems to think that theory allows this for a GW.

I have contacted "machmarosz" and asked him to remove his posts.
I still need to know if time can go theoretically/mathematically, let's say ten times faster than normal,
if a theoretically/mathematically extreme GW pass through normal space.

The problem you have is in defining spacetime. Superstring theory defines things differently than quantum loop gravity theory. While superstring theory contains a particle with the properties of the graviton quantum loop gravity does not. The loops in the lattice ARE spacetime. You then have a smallest volume, the Planck volume. This is background independent. You have to then explain how this constant background independent scale can become curved. It is meaningless to consider anything smaller than this volume so does the matter simply occupy a smaller volume?
-
Now that's out of the way we can also say that time is quantized. I have not pursued this idea so have little to say on it. This is where you would need to start. I would study Smolin's solution to the Wheeler-DeWitt equation.
-
machmarosz you are flooding threads with irrelevant speculation. That is a very unhelpful thing to do. It is to all intents and purposes self promotion. This should be in New Theories. I can see why other forums ban you. You cause a nuisance.
-
You are a shameless self promoter. Wanting attention. You thrust your speculations into every thread you think might grant you some attention. You never enter into debate because that would highlight your flaws.
-
So you must be a very humble person comparing yourself to Newton and Einstein. Do you think posting pictures of them every time you invade a thread will somehow work like brand recognition in advertising? If you repeat it often enough it will rub off? You have said nothing that is of any significance. You have certainly not presented a theory. The mods should put these with your other posts into new theories. This forum is for mainstream physics.

If we remove time from the equation then we are dealing with a series of quantum states throughout the universe. We can think of these states as changing in quanta of space. We can also think of it another way like movies running in parallel. The evolution of states is not at the same rate for each movie reintroducing a concept time. The film in movie theatre A when viewed from theatre B may be running either faster or slower than that in B for an observer in B. At the smallest scales time is a variable quantity. If we hold transitions to be background independent then can we assume the spacetime lattice to also be background independent? If we can compress and stretch this lattice then the Planck scale itself is relative.

I have finally got a answer from professor Ulf Danielsson from the university of Uppsala in Sweden.
Professor at Department of Physics and Astronomy, Theoretical Physics.
He say that time fluctuate around the time of the position where the gravitational wave pass.
So now this question remain.
Can the general relativity theory mathematically describe a gravitational wave that make the time
fluctuate let's say ten times faster and ten times slower?

I would be surprised if it can be made to go faster than flat spacetime ie truly zero g.
Let's see!

I will write his answer here and PM you also, when I get it.
I have contacted moderator two times and even sent PM to machmarosz to remove his posts but nothing happens.
Can somebody try to contact moderator and stop machmarosz here.
