Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / What happens when time slows down at light speed?
« on: 23/01/2014 10:56:22 »
Hello all im new here but life long chronic contemplater of the nature of things, I have researched a little bit of a lot of things, and reashearched a few things a lot. Enough with the intro, its lovely to be here and to have an opportunitie to connect with other curious beings.
Whats on my mind tonight is time and energy.
Time I see and have come to understand it as a non fundamental tool thats been created to measure events in the unfolding of the universe. I have held feelings for a long time now that it has no place in any part of the fundamental componets that are this, life. An afirmation of this thought came recently while contemplating time travel. Most poeople will agree while moving at speeds near that of light time passes slower and stops at the speed of light. I do not belive this to be a good way to describe the phenomenon. First I dont think time has any place in this matter. This is what has come to be a better more accurate description for my mind.
What happens is not a slowing of time, but a slowing of the particles and there processes of interaction with other involved particles, so not that 20 years of time did not pass on you while travelling near light speed, you were still gone 20 earth years what you did was move at such a high speed that the normal metamophasis of the particles that we see on earth was slowed or frozen at light speed. You were still gone 20 earth years only for you it seemed perhaps an instant but that state is just a slowed down or frozen state. All particles are "frozen" at light speed or slowed as they near it. I dont see any place for time. Aside from a tool of measure ment. Although you might not have aged physically you may feel like only a moment has passed what is really happening is a slowing of phisical processes due to a relative high speed. Your still 20 earth years older although for you in a state of suspended or slowed animation it feels like you traveled forward in time. Realisticly you just created circumstances that slowed or froze you in a state due to your speed relative to light. So what do you all think on that one? Still to move at light speed or near it and slow your experience of the unfolding of your own body the feel as if no time has passed is amazing. I just feel the word time has no place besides as a made up concept that allows us to document the unfolding of things. Times for history, but in a reality thats composed of timeless energy why intergrate it in science?
On to energy.
Its generaly accepted that particles of energy have volume measured by there wave length. I have been starting to really see this as a slight misunderstanding. At this point im coming to belive that energy only appears to have volume but in actuality it has no volume. A partical of energy has mass and a wave length but exits In no more than 2 demensions and there for has no actual volume. Its wavelength may vibrate in 3 or more dimensions of space producing a zero volume particle that can appear to occupie a said volume but in reality the particle is only making itself appear so. This to me is far more likely and makes it much easier to comprehend things like black holes and the first moments of our universe.
Well its late now but im really interested if these ideas cary any potential in reality. So every one please share your thoughts and knowledge. I do apologize for my lay man ish way of expressing things but I try to break all things down in the simplest way possible. I feel the true nature of things is a most simple foundation so simple we cant see it even if its truth has always been right under our nose. The details however are infinite and beautiful but only intricate expressions of a most simple set of blocks.
I used to think the universe was full of paradoxes but now all I see are things that appear to contradict each other but these false paradoxes disolve with better understanding. The universe has no contradictions but is full of things that appear to contradict at a glance.
