Title: If the sky is blue because of scattering then why?
Post by: guest39538 on 06/10/2017 14:12:30
If the sky is blue because of scattering caused by atmosphere, then why is the atmosphere not blue at ground level where the atmosphere is more dense?

you have it wrong!

I believe this has been quite adequately explained to you previously in threads in "New Theories".

It is.

Stand at ground level on a clear day, and look up. The sky is blue, due to scattering by dust in the atmosphere.

Now fly in a U2 spyplane above 70,000 feet. You don't need to wait for a clear day, since you are now above the clouds (and, indeed, above most of the atmosphere). The sky is almost black above you, as there is little scattering of light by dust particles. The sky is blue around and below you, as there is enough dust in the atmosphere as you look through a great depth of it.

Now fly in the International Space Station. You don't need to wait for a clear day, since you are now above the atmosphere. The sky is black, as there is no atmospheric dust particles* to scatter the light. You can see a band of blue light around the Earth, where the atmosphere scatters sunlight.

See: https://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image_feature_1529.html

* There is also some faint Zodiacal Light (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zodiacal_light), from dust which is in orbit around the Sun, and outside Earth's atmosphere. This light is so faint that human eyes can't really pick up any color in it.

Stand outside on a nice day, look up at the sky and see the blue sky that you say is scattering of the light dues to air molecules. Now observe the space between your eyes and the blue sky, it is colourless although there is air .  According to science light should also then scatter and be blue to the observation at ground level also.
Quite clearly literally speaking, we do not observe blue in the space between the ground and sky.

So according to ''you'' somehow the light stops scattering once it as entered deeper into out atmosphere.

There is nothing about ''your'' version of a blue sky I find to be true.   The physics involved would be wrong.

Worth looking up Rayleigh scattering.  Wikipedia has an excellent article on the subject. Fact is

1. It's not dust but elastic scattering of photons from air molecules.

2. You can detect Rayleigh scattering from small volumes of gas but you need a very long  path length before the effect is visible. It is difficult to do the experiment at ground level because the planet gets in the way and over any reasonable distance there will be a considerable amount of dust, fog, etc.

Your best bet is to set up a white arc light about 200 ft above a frozen lake and observe it on a dark night from around 15 miles distance. The light will appear yellow, with a blue haze around it, just like the sun and sky. I'm pretty sure you could find a suitable  spot in Canada somewhere.

I look ''up'' and I look ''across,  ''across' being a greater distance than ''up'' to the blue sky.  I really do not think the observation lies of where I observe the blue sky to be.  If you were correct then the astronaut would also see a blue sky directly beneath him and at ground level looking ''across'' the air should also still scatter light for the entire distance viewed. 
I don't get it, it makes no sense to me that it scatters.  Where is the force feedback in the scattering to compress the radiation to 400nm?

Your torch isn't as bright as the Sun.
The path length isn't several miles wide.
You have not done a meaningful experiment.

Why did you even raise the idea when you had been told you would need, at least, an arc  lamp?
Were you trolling?

Of course he is. Comments like this 'Where is the force feedback in the scattering to compress the radiation to 400nm?' when he has been told that compression is not involved and crap like 'force feedback' included for good pseudoscience measure.

Since none of us are likely to ride a U2 (especially since they made very few dual-seat versions), I tried the experiment today using the tail camera on an Airbus A380.

At 39,000 Feet Altitude
You are above most of the atmosphere. The air looks blue as you look towards the horizon, but as you look higher, it is darker (fewer molecules to scatter the light)
 [ Invalid Attachment ]
At 15,000 Feet Altitude
The air looks slightly blue as you look towards the top of the picture (more air molecules to scatter the light)
 [ Invalid Attachment ]
At a Lower Altitude
I wasn't able to determine the actual altitude, but you are low enough to make out factory buildings on the ground.
The air is fairly uniformly blue above the clouds and higher.

Good observation Evan
At 39,000 Feet Altitude
You are above most of the atmosphere. The air looks blue as you look towards the horizon, but as you look higher, it is darker (fewer molecules to scatter the light)



But as you look lower in any of the observations where the air is much more dense than at altitude, the air  looks clear, transparent, like glass.So why is the light  still not scattering at lower altitudes and looking blue?
I have drawn all 3 of your observations in one picture in basic form.

The white represents clear.   The black is also clear.   The blue the sky.

It is not darker, it just looks darker, it is ''light'' in space remember, it is not looking darker it looks clearer.

The visible spectrum is ''opaque'' relative to the transparency of space.

added- I have drew your observation to objective reality of the observation.

Well, I'm glad you accept you didn't create the universe.
Can you explain why you feel empowered to create new meanings for words like 'darker', 'light', 'space', 'clearer', 'visible', 'opaque', and 'transparency'?

Certainly, the way you are using them has nothing much to do with their usual meanings.

Ok, I will call it gogi, poki, nanaphal, if it makes you happy.  I am not changing the definitions , I am correcting the semantics. You can still call it dark and light if you like, but it won't change the semantics I provided.

Some people are just not that intelligent. The whole point is your semantics and description of darkness, what it means is wrong.   It would still be called darkness, but darkness would be a property of the object rather than the absence of light.

If you want to coin separate words for
"having the property of absorbing all or nearly all of the em radiation in the range about 400 to 700 nm wavelength" and "unillluminated,
that's fine by me. However in English, the word "dark" means both of those, and the word, "darkness" is construed accordingly.

Some people are, it seems not intelligent enough to realise that a word can have two meanings, depending on context.
They then rigidly try to stick to just one of those meanings even when it's not appropriate.
For example, it is dark in my cellar at the moment. Darkness reigns there.
If I go down there and turn the lights on, it will no longer be dark. The darkness will be  expelled.
There are two wooden cupboards there one is made from ebony and the other from birch.
The first is dark, the second is light.
That remains true even if I turn the lights back off again.

I for one understand the difference a word can have in meanings.    You however still do not understand why it is not dark in your cellar.
Your two cupboards in the light  seem different in appearance , one being light in appearance and the other being dark in appearance.   However when it is dark, both cupboards are the same in appearance,both cupboards are dark in appearance.
The space between you eyes is unaltered in appearance although you ''see'' that space turn dark. 
Darkness what you call with the lights out, is not just the absence of light, it is the original appearance of all objects without enough intensity or magnitude of electromagnetic radiation to produce visible light. ( the visible of a  dark and light cupboard).

  added-
While the lights are on , one of your cupboards appears visibly dark.
When the lights are off, both cupboards appear visibly dark.

In the ''dark'' you can still see the cupboards, but they both appear dark. This gives you the sense that the space is also dark, that bit is an optical  illusion.

Hang on; you just said it can't be dark down there.
Make up your mind.
Perhaps the problem is that you can't understand that it is, in fact, dark down there.
Shall we set up a poll?

Yes we can set up a poll if you like, but perhaps I should write a short paper on the matter to clarify understanding what is meant.  You obviously do not understand me exactly or I am sure you would admit it is not dark in your cellar.

The objects are dark in your cellar but the space is not.   Can you not understand this?

I keep asking you to explain what you mean.
Please, even at this late stage, do so.

The objects are dark in your cellar but the space is not.   Can you not understand this?

The white things in my cellar are light, the black things are dark.
The space- as you refer to it, is transparent or colourless.
However all the stuff down there is unilluminated.
It's dark down there, and it's you who needs to understand that.

What do you think the outcome would be if I posed a poll that said this ?
"My cellar is underground. There are no windows. The door is shut. There are no light sources and there's no way for light to get down there.
For the purposes of this poll we set aside things like a trace of bioluminescence from bacteria or fungi, and the scintillation from radioactive decay and/ or cosmic rays,
 It's about 10C so the emission of visible light from black body radiation is practically zero.
We are only considering visible light (rather than the rest of the EM spectrum), To summarise, if you tried to walk across it, you would bump into stuff, because you wouldn't be able to see it.

Is it dark in my cellar"

You seem not to understand; whether it is illuminated or not (i e light or dark,) depends on whether I have switched the lights on.
(and, of course, strictly speaking, it's not clear- it scatters light slightly.)
What do you think the poll I suggested would say?

Here's a hint; it's dark in the cellar.

It is quite clear to me that you have some sort of mental block.  I know what the poll will say if I wrote a paper on the matter and if you asked the general public on the matter.   I am not sure this forum would not be biased just because it is me, rather than objectively considering the notion.

Keep going, but...
when you finish, it will still be dark in the cellar.

Also you need to read what you have written. Constructions like "objectivity of observation and logical conclusions" and " natural state of appearance of any object" don't mean anything unless you explain them.
An object doesn't really have a  "natural" appearance since the appearance depends on circumstances- notable the illumination.

An object doesn't really have a  "natural" appearance since the appearance depends on circumstances- notable the illumination.
Without illumination the object is black. In your cellar when you think it it is dark, it is not dark, you are just seeing black everywhere around you.  The space does not turn black, it remains transparent to not just light but transparent to sight because of the CMB.  Because even in your optical illusion of a dark cellar, electromagnetic radiation still enters your eyes and that is why you can see a laser dot in the ''dark''.
Anyway I will have a re-think about my abstract, I know it is not very good.

I already have all the physics involved and the observations in my mind.   I already know my own notion so it is easy to write the abstract firstly . Then I have to make sure in the paper I cover what the abstract says.
However my abstract seems rather boring and is not very elegant. It does not explain the space being transparent etc.  It is not easy to just write a paper, I have to be int he right frame of mind which I will be sooner than later.
It just comes to me... I was thinking of starting with clarifying what we mean by light and explaining the various ambiguities of the word.  Directing the reader to the intended version to remove ambiguity.

Did you know that some plants won't germinate if their seeds are in the dark?
Your definition doesn't seem to take account of that.

You seem to be writing an essay plan, but calling it an abstract.
That's no going to help.

I did not read all of it, just some of it that was relevant to different notions I have. I do not think anything  relates to my suggested postulate. Often just a title spurs my mind into thinking, the title descriptive enough to allow me to think about that thing.  In example The Electrodynamics of Moving bodies ,  A descriptive title that says enough to allow a person to think about the subject. It took seconds to find it again, I use to have it all bookmarked but I had a computer clean up one day.

It  probably doesn't.
In fairness you said he never read  research paper and he said he had read one- Einstein's.

There's no way you can prove he didn't.
Of course it's clear that he'as not copying the style or format of that paper but that's just a convention.
As long as he expresses his ideas  clearly, I don't care if it's in iambic pentameter.

Once he writes down what he thinks, we can look at it and see if it stands up both in its own right(internal consistency) and in the wider scheme of things ( consistency with observation).
That may not take long, but we won't be able to start until he's written down what he means.

Abstract - This paper is intended to show by  observation,logic and present information that darkness (The absence of light),   is actually the visual property of any object that is not illuminated.   This paper is also intended to show by observation, logic and present information. that light and darkness do not exist of space.


Light and dark explained

Let us start our discussion with the clarification of what we call light and what we call darkness in a general manner.   It is important we remove ambiguity from the discussion so that we can have an equal understanding of the context we mean.  In discussing light and dark , let us not mistake the words for being that of the ebony and ivory keys on a piano.  What we are discussing is the electromagnetic radiation emitted from a star or a source such as a flashlight.  In discussing darkness we are referring to the lack of light or the absence of light as it is presently defined.   One must also understand the difference in the visible spectrum ( can be seen by the eye)  and the invisible spectrum ( can not be seen by the eye). 
The visible spectrum(colour)   is visible light that can be seen by the eye, this can be measured to have a constant wave-length for each independent ''colour''.  The visible spectrum is measured to be 400nm-700nm , this is the range of light within our range of vision.   Shorter  or longer wave-lengths of light can not be seen by the human eye although some species of animals such as snakes  can see infra red wave-length that extends from 700nm to 1mm.

The interference of space on light.

Let us now  look at the light permeating through space, the space apparently not opposing the permeating light or having any affect on the light.  The observation of the light permeating through space by the human eye, being that of the invisible spectrum, no visible spectrum is observed.  The space seemingly empty and colourless  in appearance as if there is nothing there, but even a school boy knows the space contains  electromagnetic radiation of the invisible kind (invisible spectrum). 


The change of state of space with the light on or off.


In the previous chapter we discussed the interference of space on light where we can draw a conclusion that space does not alter the light constant permeating through it .  Now let us look at the affects of light on space  and the visual appearance of that space with the lights on or the lights off.   We have already discussed and know that space is transparent to light and we already know that space does not interfere with the permeating light.    With the lights on , humans perceive the space to be light .  With the lights off one would perceive that space to be dark.  However the physics involved and what we have already discussed about space and interference, one could certainly suggest with an almost certainty that the space remains unaltered in its state and appearance, the appearance of dark and light of that space being an optical illusion.   The space remaining transparent with the lights on or off.

Title: Relative correctness and the correct semantics of information.


Abstract-

This paper is intended to correct relativity and semantics  in a primary respect to science process.  Using a dialectic approach and presenting  logical arguments that opposes the present information. Showing a construction of deductive logical proof's , looking  at the true values of relativity that humanity has quantified.  Concluding that some of the content uses of relativity have no other discipline, other than the literal content created by the practitioner.


Introduction.

Anybody who has ever learnt some science, must of heard of Albert Einstein's relativity. I could not believe when I first ''heard'' time slowed down and wondered how much of relativity was fact and how much of relativity was mythology. The more we look at the intrinsic details of relativity, the more we can realise the mythology involved. In fact the more closely we inspect the entirety of physics science, the more we can observe an ever growing mythology . We can archive our beliefs because we can look at the intrinsic details of relativity that shows ostensibly, thus leading into explaining certain details that creates this mythology in science.


Postulate one: The speed of time is infinite, any measurement of time greater than zero becomes immediate history no matter what the speed or the length of measurement is.

Postulate two: Visible light is dependent to electro-magnetic radiation and substance interaction.

Postulate three: Visible light and dark do not exist of free space.

Postulate four: Visible darkness is a visual property of an object that is not illuminated.

At first these postulates may not be so obviously true to the reader, however thus far I have not explained the nature of the postulates in which the reader will then understand the obvious of the postulates. To view something to be incorrect without understanding it, is not being objective. We can not let ourselves exclude new information biased towards past information. We must give new information considerate thought on the premise or premises of the argument provided and realise that somethings of present information appear to be true, but are not necessarily true.   Let us now look at the nature of the postulates.

The Nature of time.

Many years have passed, and many great minds have considered time and the meaning of time and shared their thoughts. Humans , the very need for time, the very thought of time, something we look for outside of ourselves. Something we believe is quantifiable, something we believe can be measured, something we believe that can slow down or speed up. Newton believed time was absolute, but this was ''over ruled'' by Albert Einstein who first suggested time can slow down or speed up in his 1905 and 1914 papers on relativity.

I quote:Citation: Albert Einstein Part I: The Special Theory of Relativity : 8.On the Idea of Time in Physic

 '' Events which are simultaneous with reference to the embankment are not simultaneous with respect to the train, and vice versa (relativity of simultaneity). Every reference-body (co-ordinate system) has its own particular time; unless we are told the reference-body to which the statement of time refers, there is no meaning in a statement of the time of an event. 4
Now before the advent of the theory of relativity it had always tacitly been assumed in physics that the statement of time had an absolute significance, i.e. that it is independent of the state of motion of the body of reference. But we have just seen that this assumption is incompatible with the most natural definition of simultaneity; if we discard this assumption, then the conflict between the law of the propagation of light in vacuo and the principle of relativity (developed in Section VII) disappears. 5
We were led to that conflict by the considerations of Section VI, which are now no longer tenable. In that section we concluded that the man in the carriage, who traverses the distance w per second relative to the carriage, traverses the same distance also with respect to the embankment in each second of time. But, according to the foregoing considerations, the time required by a particular occurrence with respect to the carriage must not be considered equal to the duration of the same occurrence as judged from the embankment (as reference-body). Hence it cannot be contended that the man in walking travels the distance w relative to the railway line in a time which is equal to one second as judged from the embankment''.


I quote:Citation: Albert Einstein Part I: The Special Theory of Relativity : 9.The Relativity of Simultaneity

''Events which are simultaneous with reference to the embankment are not simultaneous with respect to the train, and vice versa (relativity of simultaneity). Every reference-body (co-ordinate system) has its own particular time; unless we are told the reference-body to which the statement of time refers, there is no meaning in a statement of the time of an event''.

This then proven to be true by various experiments. One of the most famous experiments being that of Hafele–Keating experiment.

I quote:citation:Wikipedia Hafele–Keating experiment

''The Hafele–Keating experiment was a test of the theory of relativity. In October 1971, Joseph C. Hafele, a physicist, and Richard E. Keating, an astronomer, took four cesium-beam atomic clocks aboard commercial airliners. They flew twice around the world, first eastward, then westward, and compared the clocks against others that remained at the United States Naval Observatory. When reunited, the three sets of clocks were found to disagree with one another, and their differences were consistent with the predictions of special and general relativity.''


Time dilation and relativity seemingly true and undistuputable. The nature of time seemingly explained and concluded by Albert Einstein.

However by using a dialetic approach and looking at the information and considering the information, there is seemingly something amiss.   I found this interesting and used investigative thought to consider the thinking involved in Einsteins papers and the nature of time. Firstly my thoughts were in the direction of time speeding up or slowing down and considering the relativity between two individual observers. Time having the ability to speed up or slow down being suggestive that time has a speed. Thus leading to my first question in my mind, what is the speed of time, how fast does time pass?
In considering this, the next increment of time to follow the moment of ''now'' was seemingly immediately away, one increment of time passing to the next increment of time seemingly immediately with no ''gaps'' or pause between, a continuous flow without breaks. No matter how fast I tried to count , time seemingly past as fast as I could count. In my mind there was now an uncertainty of the nature of time that I had interpreted of present information.
Thus leading me how to explain this, which I looked too geometrical points. I could not displace a geometrical point without leaving a past geometrical position. It did not matter at what speed I tried too displace the point, it always left a past geometrical position. I then considered the direction of time, I could not displace the geometrical point without leaving a past chronological position on the time line, again at any speed.
This then had me slightly bewildered, if one observers next increment of time is immediately ahead of them, then one must conclude that another observers next increment of time is also immediate ahead of them .
This thought was thought provoking, so I needed to look deeper for answers and in searching for an answer I came across a thought experiment called The Twin Paradox.

 It is said in thought  that there was two identical twins, let us call them twin one and twin two. Both identical twins start off on the inertia reference frame of the Earth. Twin two starts a journey into space leaving twin one on Earth, twin two returns some time later and it is said they had aged less than twin one because of time dilation, experiencing less time than twin one.

Ok, let us consider this in respect to the twins and consider two  proposition statements.

proposition 1 : twin one's  next chronological position on the time line is (tP) time Planck ahead of them (p)

proposition 2: twin two's next chronological position on the time line is (tP) time Planck ahead of them (q)

conclusion :  (p?q)?(q?p)?(p?? q) 

p implies q and q implies p which implies p and q are equal and equivalent statements.

From this we can deduct both statements have the same truth value in every model and twin one and twin two remain synchronous in timing in respect to relative motion.

model of relativity twins.jpg

Thus explaining the first postulate:

Postulate one: The speed of time is infinite, any measurement of time greater than zero becomes immediate history no matter the speed or length of increment measurement.

Let us now consider a train carriage that is at rest relative to the embankment. On the embankment is a clock that is identical to a clock on the carriage.  Both clocks tick at the frequency of one time Planck per tick.
 Einstein claims that when the carriage is in motion relative to the embankment , the frequency  of the ticking clock on the carriage in relative motion is  different to the frequency of the clock at relative rest on the embankment, no longer being synchronous.
In the earlier quote Einstein says {with respect to the embankment in each second of time.}.   
This is the error in thinking  by Mr Einstein, a second being a much longer increment than the smallest measure of time (tP) time Planck.  If on the carriage the rate of time was (tP) and the rate of time on the embankment was (tp), I conclude from the earlier shown evidental results of the twin statements, that the time would remain synchronous whether at rest or in relative motion.
Evidentally if twin two was to travel in the carriage, relative too twin one,  twin two's next chronological position on the time line remains (tP) time Planck ahead of them  and synchronous too twin one.  The unit of a Planck length being fractionally zero and having no negliable length to contract, thus leading us to look at the Lorentz length contraction and the thought experiment of a light clock that supports the time dilation ideology.

I quote:Citation Wikipedia Light Clock

''The light clock is a simple way of showing a basic feature of Special relativity. A clock is designed to work by bouncing a flash of light off a distant mirror and using its return to trigger another flash of light, meanwhile counting how many flashes have occurred along the way. It is easy to show that people on Earth watching a spaceship fly overhead with such a clock would see it ticking relatively slowly. This effect is called time dilation.''

Call it whatever you want to, but the results of that experiment (and others) demonstrate that different objects do indeed experience the flow of time at different rates depending on their relative velocities and positions in a gravity well. To argue anything else is to argue against observed reality.

Quite clearly you have not read it properly .  The conclusion about time dilation is it is a timing dilation.

Call it whatever you want to, but the results of that experiment (and others) demonstrate that different objects do indeed experience the flow of time at different rates depending on their relative velocities and positions in a gravity well. To argue anything else is to argue against observed reality.

How do you have a measurement of time without a clock?

ETA. Kryptid was not being defensive. He was pointing out why you were wrong.

Without time dilation there is nothing making the clocks speed up or slow down. If clocks speed up or slow down, then any time measuring device or process must speed up or slow down under the same circumstances, including the human brain. That's effectively the same as time dilating because you can't tell the difference. How can you possibly establish the difference between time actually dilating and time merely appearing to dilate? Those two things would appear identical to any measuring device.

It obviously isn't due to any changes in the internal structure of the clock, given that it's identical when it's sitting on the ground or when it's flying in an airplane. Even unstable subatomic particles take longer to decay when they are moving quickly. So whatever is causing processes to slow down at high speeds or in strong gravity wells affects all devices and processes equally. Also, the amount by which it slows down is in accordance with the amount that Einstein predicted mathematically that it would if time itself is indeed slowing down. Due to these facts, it is perfectly sensible to say that time is slowing down.

Firstly we can break the statement down into two segments because the statement says two things:

1)Time is a quantifiable measurement

2) directly proportional to change

Let us now  look at the light permeating through space, the space apparently not opposing the permeating light or having any affect on the light.  The observation of the light permeating through space by the human eye, being that of the invisible spectrum, no visible spectrum is observed.  The space seemingly empty and colourless  in appearance as if there is nothing there, but even a school boy knows the space contains  electromagnetic radiation of the invisible kind (invisible spectrum). 

It's about here that you go wrong.

No kind of argument, definitions or logical twists you could possibly come up with will refute observable facts. What is your explanation for why clocks and physical processes slow down under certain circumstances? Remember, you also have to be able to explain why these things slow down by the amount that relativity predicts that they will. It can't just be some lucky coincidence that Einstein got the numbers right.

Do you have any sources showing that motion alone affects the transition times of electron transfer between energy levels in a cesium atom? It's not just cesium atoms either. Unstable particles are also affected by time dilation even though they are orders of magnitude simpler than a clock. How can you account for them being affected the same way? I'm still waiting for you to explain how Einstein got "lucky" with his numerical predictions.

Two Dj's are situated at rest next to each other.  One of the Dj's starts a journey while the other Dj sits at rest.    Both Dj's play the same song, except the Dj at rest plays the song at 75 rpm while the Dj in motion plays the song at 45 rpm.

Both Dj's experiences the full song of only one of them and they experience much less of the song than the other one is playing.   Because the song was slowed down see, but this not effect their experience of one full song.

Because if my 1 song takes 100 cycles of rotation to complete, you and I have both experienced 100 cycles of rotation regardless of what your slowed down song is doing.

added- Because if my song ran at 18385263540 Hz,    that does not mean the speed of time as just doubled, it means my song is playing faster and it will rotate more cycles in less time. 

What is pathetic is scientists keep playing the same song and singing the same song without considering the lyrics or the speed of the song.

As has been pointed out before, it does.
However, the sky is miles thick whereas the air between your eyes and your feet s a few feet thick, so the amount of scattered light from the sky is thousands of times brighter- and it's still not very bright compared to direct , or even reflected, sunlight.

You have it backwards. The math was done beforehand (in 1905) to predict how much time should dilate under certain circumstances.

Any argument you could have is invalid.  I do not have to answer such questions as how or why Einstein did whatever.    There is a very simple axiom i.e the truth   , that over rules any such subjective thoughts as time slows down.  For the very fact: The next moment of now is immediately ahead of you.

I don't need an argument. I have the experimental evidence on my side. If you're trying to say that the evidence is invalid, then the burden of proof is on you to explain how the evidence is deceiving us. You started off by telling us that moving a clock changes it's ability to measure time so that it only appears that time is moving more slowly. I asked you how and you never told me. Have you backed off from that claim?

I have explained the problem and the fix before.  It is very simple, it is a timing dilation, time does not slow down.

It's all about the relative timing of two atoms frequencies.

The atom in motion has a slower frequency relative to the atom at inertia rest.  There is a difference in timing.

A change in entropy of course , there is only a change in entropy that can change an output to increase or decrease in magnitude.

And what experimental evidence can you provide that demonstrates that entropy somehow changes the energy level shift in a cesium atom?

Do you have a Caesium atom at hand? Try warming it up and see if the frequency speeds up.   

P.s I am not saying your experimental results don't show a difference in frequency.

added- Pfff have I got do all the work for you.

 Since 1967, the International System of Units (SI) has defined the second as the duration of 9192631770 cycles of radiation corresponding to the transition between two energy levels of the caesium-133 atom. In 1997, the International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM) added that the preceding definition refers to a caesium atom at rest at a temperature of 0 K.[14]

So you're telling me that you don't know if it does or not, huh? That's not a very solid explanation. This is doubly true since the clock carried on the airplane would not have had some kind of special heating device put on it that the clock on the ground did not have.

that the preceding definition refers to a caesium atom at rest at a temperature of 0 K
That the preceding definition refers to a caesium atom at rest at a temperature of 0 K

Which suggests temperature causes a variation in the frequency.

Alright. Now:

(1) Show me that the temperature of the clock aboard the airplane was higher than the temperature of the clock on the ground.
(2) Show me, mathematically, that the amount by which the frequency of the cesium atom changed due to a temperature increase is in accordance with the recorded difference in time between the two clocks.

If you can't do those things, then your claim remains at the level of pure speculation.

And you can demonstrate that this caused the clock specifically not only to heat up, but to heat up by just the right amount to to give the illusion of Einstein's time dilation?

Of course unless I show specifics it is just speculation. However in reality I only have to show that a change in entropy of the Caesium, causes a change in frequency.  Now if I did this experiment while the Caesium is at inertia rest, it would show for a certainty that the frequency is a variate by change in entropy.  Proving me correct.

On the other hand if a scientist helped me with all the complicated ''stuff'' like the maths.   Then we would have a good venture

The frequency at ground state is only constant and stable because the entropy is being kept stable by keeping it at 0 k.

It wouldn't prove that a temperature-induced change in the frequency of an atom is responsible for the "illusion" of time dilation. In fact...

...there's another problem with your warm cesium atom explanation: the amount of time dilation recorded was different when the plane flew west than when it flew east. Relativistic time dilation can account for that (because the Earth's rotation contributes to the difference in velocity between the clock aboard the plane and the clock on the ground). How does a warm cesium atom know if the plane it is on is moving east or west?

The cesium was inside of a clock which was inside of an insulated, pressure-sealed airplane. The Sun isn't going to do anything to it.

The Sun emits fields.   

I am not sure, I can show there is no time dilation, I can provide enough using time Planck etc to show why there is no length contraction or time dilation.

However I do not really know what ''force'' affects the frequency. That is why I say generally a change in entropy.  That being the only possible thing that can cause a lesser output.

That's irrelevant because a subsequent experiment performed by a research group at the University of Maryland performed a similar time dilation experiment aboard aircraft and put their clocks inside of containers specifically designed to shield them against vibrations, magnetic fields and temperature variations. It too confirmed time dilation. So there goes your temperature theory. Gravitational time dilation has been demonstrated without using airplanes at all and only by putting clocks at different altitudes (such as on a mountain).

The song is playing slower because I am inputting less energy into the motor by turning the speed down.

Something is telling me because when an object is in motion it is gains less energy from the inertia body by the rules and laws of thermodynamics.

And you used it to come up with nonsense. If time went infinitely fast, then all events would happen simultaneously because there would be literally no periods of time separating events from each other. Time goes by at a very finite pace.

You haven't been using "perfect" logic. Logic is a way of thinking that is informed by evidence gained from the world around us. The reason we consider a particular thing to be logical is because it is consistent with our experience of the world. Reality tells us how logic works, and sometimes you can do that the other way around (use logic to tell you how reality works). If reality and logic are at odds with each other, however, then reality is the obvious winner and it means that your logic needs to be corrected. Your proposed explanation doesn't fit the evidence so reality is saying that your logic is wrong.

Ok try this, at ground level gases and the ground is denser than up there.    The ground and the gases (denser fields)    sucks on the atom at a rate.

When the atom is in motion or  higher up, the ground and the gases are less dense so suck less. So the flow slows down. Entropy like i said

All of a sudden I can not see nor can I experience time passing me by.  I look at the world around me and that's why I know. 

I have perfect logic, I narrow it down to perfection. 

I.e Your next now ,  is a negligible (so small or unimportant as to be not worth considering) length away from now. 

The reason we consider a particular thing to be logical is because it is consistent with our experience of the world.

What is consistent when considering time is that it is not discrete , it is continuous.  In reality and the normal world times goes

01

In Einsteins head time goes

0...........1

Strangely enough in the real world version of time, there is no length to contract and nothing to dilate.

If any of the readers are still not convinced, here is a little experiment to do with a friend.


Method.

1) Sit on a chair facing your friend who is also sitting on a chair.

2) Decide which one of you will count slow and which one of you will count fast.

3) Both start to count after 3,2,1, go

Result .

One of you will finish counting first.

One of you will be waiting for the other one to finish .

Conclusion,

You both have just been measuring the amount of time you sat there by counting the time passing by. 

Did the person counting slow experience less time? Of course not .

For those who understand time dilation will understand and agree with what I have just shown.

"Sucks"? You're just pulling stuff out of thin air in an attempt to shoehorn the evidence into your bizarre, unsupported model. How is an atom moving supposed to make the gases or the ground around it less dense? You do also realize that movement slows down time, whereas higher altitude away from a source of gravity speeds it up, right? They have opposite effects.

Remember, all of the effects that you are invoking not only have to explain why it only looks like time dilation is happening, but also have to explain it numerically to the degree that it is observed. Yet you think that various different forces of nature (temperature, fields, etc.) all conspire to make it look like Einstein's mathematical predictions were spot-on when in fact they were not. That sounds like a supernatural level of conspiracy.

If there is any duration of time, no matter how small between two moments of "now", then time does not flow infinitely fast and your argument is dead. So is the duration from one moment to the next truly zero or some value larger than zero?

What is consistent when considering time is that it is not discrete , it is continuous.

By that reasoning, the ancients would have been justified in concluding that matter is not discrete but is continuous down to increasingly tiny levels because you can cut any visible portion of matter down into smaller and smaller pieces. When we discovered atoms, we showed that what appeared to be true to the human eye and intuition was wrong (notwithstanding that a few people did predict atoms a long time before they were discovered)

Whether time is quantized or continuous is still debated by the physics community. Either one works for time dilation.

Quote
Strangely enough in the real world version of time, there is no length to contract and nothing to dilate.

Length contraction is an inevitable result of the speed of light in a vacuum being a constant for all observers regardless of their motion relative to the beam of light. In order for a beam of light moving away from a moving observer and a beam moving towards the observer to have identical measured speeds, distances must contract in such a way that the measurements will be equal. Tell me how two such observers moving in different directions will agree on the speed of a particular beam of light without invoking length contraction?

You're comparing apples to oranges. Time dilation is not about comparing two processes which are intentionally set up to occur at different rates from each other in the same reference frame, it's about comparing two processes which are known to occur at the same rate in the same reference frame and then putting them into different reference frames to see if a difference arises.

I understand time dilation as it is understood by physicists and I disagree.

I can see quite clearly that the "I can't be wrong" syndrome is still very much present within you.
