Quote from: David Cooper on 28/04/2017 21:47:46I need to know which question number you had a problem with so that I can find out where this straw man argument was and whether it breaks the argument or if the argument needs to be modified to resolve whatever issue you have with it. I stopped at 4. I could not maintain the fictitious block of time. The subjective definition of time being something that you can travel through was ridicules. Everything is in the present as motion caused by energy which we label as time. Time is nothing more than distance of a cycle relative to distance traveled. c is the fixed frame of available energy. Clocks measure the available energy of a frame. Take the cycle of the electron. In SR velocity of the atom the electron goes through its cycle adding distance through space. The at rest space and the velocity space are two different distances through space so the clock slows by that extra distance. There is no such thing as a fixed dimension of time that is silly sci fi stuff.

QuoteTime is tied tightly to the sequence of events in chains of causation with past events dictating the ability of future ones to occur, so how can that be tied into your definition? We are always in the present as motion. The idea of future and past is a man made concept to differentiate what has happened and what is expected to happen. A cycle distance related to the available energy state of a frame remains in the present no matter what that energy state reads on a clock.QuoteCausation chains depend on befores and afters and must run through all in sequence. When running through those events in sequence, The present motion affects the new present motion that is physics What is the issue?

Quotethere are points during the processing when future events have not happened yet while past events have happened, and the time that clocks measure can vary on different paths from the same starting point to the same end point. The big issue here is whether those clocks are all running time at the same speed (with some reaching a destination Spacetime location before others, leading to event-meshing failure) The failure is the definition you are using for time. Event meshing is always in the present no matter what value you put on a clock that measures the energy state of a frame.

Quoteor if some of them are being forced to run slow (which allows events to mesh correctly but requires the time of a preferred frame of reference to govern the slowing of clocks for all other frames). You need to show me how your definition relates to any of that. Time is a measurement of available energy from c. It is not a dimension you can travel through. Motion creates our ability to live and for our brain to function which we describe as the present. It does not matter about which energy state you are in you are always in the present. If you could go the speed of light all the energy for the electron would be used for velocity and none for cycle so your biological clock for aging would stop. No reaction could proceed.

Its your mistaken understanding that creates them in the first place. There was never a problem. All energy measurements are in the present. A slow clock is in the present and a fast clock is in the present. Aging is a reaction based on your energy state.
We understand relativity differently. You say it is incorrect and I say it is completely correct. Not the subjective interpretations (especially about time) but the observations, math and postulates
If you were taught when you were young that witches and warlocks were real you would go through life possibly believing in them. If you were taught there is a God once again you might believe. If you believe time is a dimension then you might believe in time travel. Subjective interpretations abound. How can I argue with you if you say God creates time and he created it this way so there is time travel?
QuoteI can't work out from that which part of what I said you're taking issue with, and I don't know if those sentences are meant to be representations of what I've said or if they're what you're claiming. What I say is this: where different accounts contradict each other, only one can be valid (though all of them are potentially valid so long as they can't be disproved). If none of them were valid, it would be correct to say that all of them are equally invalid No because they are not equally invalid. They are invalid differently. Einstein had a deep understanding that may not be interpreted correctly. They can have equal validity because they are not valid.

QuoteBut with measured distances changing as you change frame, you're on shifting sands, which brings you up against all the points in my argument, and you aren't resolving any of them. I cannot resolve your subjective understanding. My subjective understanding is relativity being correct. Your creation of your relativity based on the subjective interpretations of others is the only thing in conflict.

So your objection to the argument is that when it focuses on model 1 it is discussing model 1 rather than model zero, model 2 (or some other model)? Do you imagine that I'm impressed by model 1's block in which "past", "present" and "future" are all eternal components of a giant crystal in which items are stretched through it from the "past" end to the "future" end like strands of spaghetti? It is a model that many Einsteinists believe in, so I've had to explore and discuss it, and you are supposed to approach it on that basis rather than claiming my discussion of it is wrong on the basis that you don't believe in the particular model that's being discussed at that point.There are multiple models that attempt to match up to the actual universe and each one needs to be judged individually. To ignore model 1 and not discuss it would leave something for Einsteinists to cling to and claim that they have a model that works, so it is essential to take it on and show up its failings. You don't have to believe in model 1 to agree that my assessment of it is correct; that such a model can only work if it allows events to change over the course of Newtonian time at individual Spacetime locations where Einsteinists believe such change shouldn't happen, but I have shown that if such change isn't allowed to happen they simply can't generate the block in the only manner they can be allowed to, which means they would have to switch to another model entirely. Generating it with all clocks ticking at full speed leads to event-meshing failure and they can't eliminate those failures unless they're prepared to allow for changing events at individual Spacetime locations.Model zero (which isn't illustrated with the interactive diagram, but could be generated by all three modes of the diagram if they were to leave a persisting block of solidified events in their wake) is a static Spacetime block which has never been generated and which simply exists by magic eternally, all fully formed without past events causally generating future ones. Model 1 attempts to improve on model zero by generating the block in cause-and-effect order so that the causation becomes actual. It is fully possible to imagine there being no block involved with model 1 though, in which case all you have is an unrolling of events with the past ones not persisting, although that version of model 1 must immediately be ruled out because of the event-meshing failures, which is why model 1 only makes sense if it forms a persisting block behind it. Model 2 allows the clocks on some paths to run slower than clocks on other paths, but it does so in a way that generates contradictions. Model 3 also allows clocks to run at different relative rates on different paths, but eliminates the contradictions by having a preferred frame. All of those are Spacetime models. If you have devised another Spacetime model which can somehow avoid event-meshing failure AND avoid having a preferred frame AND avoid generating contradictions, then you need to describe that magical model and show that it is somehow viable, but no one has ever produced such a model (because it is impossible to do so).
The present is generated out of previous states of the universe but doesn't depend on subsequent states. In generating the events in a universe, you have to start at the earliest events and run through to from there to the later ones. From any point in Spacetime, you can't generate events backwards in time, and if you generate them too soon on some paths compared with other paths you get event-meshing failures where things can't interact with other items at locations where they should both be but where they cannot both arrive there together if the unfolding of events isn't coordinated correctly. The point is that events must run through in sequence, and that is impossible without a kind of time that runs.
I'm using different definitions of time with different models, as I'm required to. With model zero, the only kind of time in the model is the "time dimension", but that is a kind of time that doesn't run, and the result is that the model describes a universe which cannot be generated. In model 1, I have taken model zero and made a single change to it by allowing it to run its time. When that happens, the result is event-meshing failure. If a rocket arrives at a reunion point with its planet and the planet isn't there, that's a failure of events to mesh. If the planet arrives there and the rocket is there too, events mesh correctly, but they can't both fail to mesh and mesh correctly without producing a contradiction. What they can do though is allow for meshing failure earlier on within a Newtonian time that's additional to the model and then allow for correct meshing at that same Spacetime location later on in Newtonian time. This means that you have to understand not only that there are several distinct models, but that there are different versions of some of the models too, and you have to keep them all in separate compartments in your head instead of mixing them up with each other. You are not reading about a single model, but a series of different, incompatible models and each model brings with it its own definition(s) of time.
If your model is a Spacetime model and you don't allow things to move along the time dimension, it sounds as if you are tying your own beliefs to model zero, and that means you can't generate a universe because you've banned the running of events. With Spacetime models and running time, it is not possible for objects not to move along through the time dimension. If your model is not a Spacetime model, what are you doing objecting to the discussion of Spacetime models on the basis that they are Spacetime models with objects moving through a time dimension as well as through space dimensions?
What mistaken understanding? I'm going through a tour of different models and showing where they break. You appear to have a model of your own which is incomplete and doesn't appear to attempt to address any of the issues at all - all you have is a definition of time which denies it the ability to run, but you aren't prepared to explore the consequences.
You are simply refusing to discuss the points where it breaks down, so you don't have an understanding of relativity but a mere belief in something which you aren't prepared to push to the limits. How does your model generate later events from earlier ones without running time? If you allow it to run in order to make that generation possible, how do you coordinate events on different paths? Have you explored any of that at all or do you just not bother and take it on trust that it all works fine? I don't see any rigour in your approach at all - you just assert that a model (which one? - you can't even describe it) works and you refuse to look at the details at the points where it breaks.
Who is it here that suffers from such a condition? I never believed in Santa, the Tooth Fairy, God, or any other magical being of any kind for which there was no evidence, despite being told that they were real. I was told by experts in physics that time is a dimension, but I questioned that too. I have never been someone who just believes things which other people say unless they can show good evidence that backs their position, and even if they have good evidence of something, I still don't believe it completely if there's any possibility of it not being true. Sometimes it's possible to apply a 100% or 0% rating to the truth of something, but even then that has to be done with "if our system of logic holds" tagged onto it. I don't depend on any fairy defining time for me, but I look at the evidence and I see the process by which events are caused by earlier events in such a way that imposes a direction in which those events are generated and which imposes befores and afters on them with an unfolding of those events under time - remove time from it and there is no separation between those events and all the causation is rendered apparent and not real. The lack of running time destroys all causality.
Okay, you've dragged me down this diversion and you're actually right that some things can be invalid to a greater degree than others, but if they're all invalid, they're all invalid and can be discarded.
Where? When a model generates contradictions, it's plain wrong. This is most relevant to model 2 where different accounts say that "clock A is running faster than clock B" and "clock B is running faster than clock A" - it is impossible for both of those to be true.
It is also relevant though when someone depends on mixing two incompatible models to create a hybrid where they use one model to enable one thing to match up with reality and another model to enable another thing to match up with reality, but where neither model can account for both things and the two models cannot be turned into a single viable model because each drags baggage along that does not match up with reality.
All you are able to do is assert that it's incorrect while refusing to analyse it with any rigour. You just wave at the whole thing and say "it works fine", but you aren't engaging with any of the issues. It's like trying to argue with the wind.
There is no event meshing failure.
That is not an adequate defence - it's just assertion and evasion.
You're just giving me guff with absolutely no substance. It's impossible to discuss anything with someone who simply won't engage with the issues.
If I was to add those sentences to my page, everyone reading it would stop and think to themselves, "what the heck is he trying to say here and what the heck does it have to do with the price of fish?" Give me clarity, focus and relevance please, and cut out the evasion.

The defined time by all your examples are fictitious. Who in their right mind would believe such crap.
The subjective beliefs you assign to Einstein to me feels like a straw man argument. Yes things run through a sequence dictated by physics of motion. You believe real scientists believe in time travel? Time is not a dimension it is merely motion that is dictated by physics. Time=Motion=Energy c.
Subjective understanding by individuals is no different from the past beliefs being incorrect. If you believe time is a dimension we can travel through and manipulate I suspect you are incorrect.
This in no way proves relativity is incorrect.
Your interpretation of relativity is incorrect.
You discuss the meshing of time.
Does that mean you believe time is a dimension?
Once again I believe in space time. Time=energy=motion. Space time is interchangeable with space energy and space motion E=mc*c. c being of space and not mass. c moving the electrons of mass and mass causing a disturbance on c creating a wave on the spectrum.
The consequences is time meshing being a straw man argument based on subjective interpretation of a defined space time as a dimension in and of itself.
That is a silly interpretation. I agree with you those are extremely unlikely in your examples. But do you believe time is a mesh able dimension?
Relativity does not break. Your interpretation of relativity breaks because you may believe time is a dimension. Any argument that believes time is a dimension is subject to fail. Time meshing is not a thing. There is only energy meshing. E= available energy c - kinetic energy for SR. Dilation has an equivalency in expansion of energy diluting the energy c available per volume of space slowing clocks by GR.
Once again time is not a dimension such as an arrow of time. This confuses relativity with subjective nonsense.
Of course with this model it fails to describe events properly. Energy of space time c causes motion that follows physics we observe as relativity. There is no meshing of a time dimension. Cycles of energy recorded by clocks is not a dimension.
We can discard subjective ideas but not observations. Relativity is about observations. If you relate subjective ideas to prove relativity is incorrect you are being unfair to relativity. Subjective ideas that have contradictions do fail. Math is a good tool but even math that follows a theory can be incorrect.

The correct form of relativity has no baggage and is a beautiful mathematical explanation of reality. The subjective interpretation of time as a dimension is unreal not relativity.
If someone came to me and said God created everything what rigor could I use to logically disprove the assertion?
Your block issues with time are the same thing.
They can say we go through a worm hole changing the very meaning of Euclidean time. Who is arguing with the wind? Its just like the BB based on 13.6 billion years because that is all we can observe. BH's prove the timing is incorrect for the age of the universe. To suggest our limit of view is the limit of the universe is ridicules.
If you describe what God does and I say there is no God is that an evasion? To me time meshing is equivalent to a belief in God. How do I prove there is no God? Relativity does not need time meshing because there is no real dimension of time. You either understand that or you do not. Science is not magic. A time dimension for meshing is magic.
The issue is relativity as a belief or non belief based on subjective interpretations. Time as a dimension is one such subjective interpretation. Relativity is incompatible with time as a dimension of meshing.
Time=Motion=Energy c. Energy c causes motion we measure in cycles of distance and label as time measurement. So we are measuring one distance by a second distance as a cycle. If you consider that as an evasion sorry, I do not have faith that there is a God either.

If a rocket arrives at a Spacetime location where it's supposed to meet a planet but the planet isn't there, but when the planet arrives at that same Spacetime loaction the rocket does meet it there, that's a failure of events to mesh correctly - the rocket cannot both meet the planet and not meet it at that Spacetime location unless events at that Spacetime location can change over Newtonian time.

You don't appear to have a model other than in your imagination, and that appears to be why you can't describe it or show how your definition of time has any role in relativity.
You are correct communication is not my strongest suit. Yes I do have a model in mind that follows the observations of relativity postulates. Our sticking points seem less than I first imagined.
Time as a dimension was not really defined because time as a dimension would be an unknown.
The dimension of time for me is a dimension of size.
Aether particles in a grid structure (stationary in space) spinning 2d sheets in a complimentary manner at c. Each 2d is offset by ~45 degrees (flexibility on the angle because axils cannot be equal).
Motion through space reduces the cycle time of the electron moving through the Aether spin particles and slows a clock. That is quantum mechanics the Aether spin particles. Motion always being in the present through out the universe. That is my basis for relativity being correct.
It appears that you're accidentally defending a theory that isn't yours in the course of defending your own theory which may not have the same dogma attached to it, so what I want to see is how your model handles relativity and whether it does match up well enough with SR's dogma to justify defending that as well.
Without time as a dimension, SR is out of the game -
you have moved to something radically different that hopefully matches up to reality, so let's explore it and see exactly what you've got. Where should we start? Well, if there is no time dimension, we are left with three space dimensions, and if we measure the speed of light passing us in opposite directions, we get the same speed for both.
If we then start moving in one of those directions and again measure the speed of light passing us in the same two directions, we get the same speed again for both. However, the only way to measure the speed of light is to do it on a round trip, which means we're incapable of pinning down its actual speed in either direction - it can be moving at different speeds relative to us in different directions,
and without adding a time dimension, it must be doing just that. In model zero, there is no speed of light at all because nothing ever moves. In models 1, 2 and 3, light covers all distances in zero time while covering zero distance, so its speed is always infinite relative to the speed of anything else (or more accurately, it's zero - it really can't have a speed if it isn't covering any distance). It's only once you get away from Spacetime models that light can have a speed. I now want to understand what it does in your model.
You said there is no time dimension, so how do you now have a time dimension that's a dimension of size?
This is already puzzling, because I'd expect 3D for 3D space. You haven't explained the spin axis of a 2D sheet, and you haven't spelt out how two of these sheets are arranged relative to each other beyond a 45 degree figure, which might mean that by the time you get to the ninth sheet it will be in the same place and alignment as the first. Do you have a thread where you describe your model clearly and concisely, setting out how it handles things like the Twins "Paradox"?
That suggests that you have some clocks running slower than others,
in which case I want to see exactly how you're handling this.
If clock A is running slower than clock B, does your model also allow that to assert that clock B is running slower than clock A if you use a different frame as the base for your calculations, and if so, are both of those contradictory accounts supposedly true or do you have a preferred frame of reference? That is what you need to explore with your model.
Quote from: David Cooper on 01/05/2017 18:29:12It appears that you're accidentally defending a theory that isn't yours in the course of defending your own theory which may not have the same dogma attached to it, so what I want to see is how your model handles relativity and whether it does match up well enough with SR's dogma to justify defending that as well. I like to think I am reverse engineering relativity observations by their cause not just postulates. What I created will in no way be accepted by ordained relativists. I follow relativity mechanically using a mechanical model.QuoteWithout time as a dimension, SR is out of the game - far from it.
Quote you have moved to something radically different that hopefully matches up to reality, so let's explore it and see exactly what you've got. Where should we start? Well, if there is no time dimension, we are left with three space dimensions, and if we measure the speed of light passing us in opposite directions, we get the same speed for both. Only in the two way speed of light measurement. Atomic clocks can measure the one way speed of light and there is a difference with vector velocity. That is part of relativity

QuoteI now want to understand what it does in your model. Same as relativity following the postulates. Time=energy

QuoteYou said there is no time dimension, so how do you now have a time dimension that's a dimension of size?Aether Particles spin and Mass dilates the Aether particles so energy density decreases in the presents of mass. The measuring stick increases in size to measure a different mile than less dilated mass. You always measure the same speed of light in bot GR dilation and SR visual increase in length. The hypotenuse of SR and the dilation of GR has equivalence in Euclidean space.
The twin paradox is just reaction rate is slowed by velocity through space. You have to add space distance to cycle distance for the proton. The electron cycles less with velocity because of the ratio of total energy c vs. kinetic energy of vector speed as the ratio of ability to react differently at the different speeds.

That is what you need to explore with your model.They are not contradictory because it is only the observation of measurement. When you understand relativity mechanically you understand why its not a contradictory observation. I can explain the observations when you give me the circumstances.
