#575631 — Einstein screwed up the definition of TIME

FromKen Seto <setoken47@gmail.com>
Date2022-02-03 09:01 -0800
SubjectEinstein screwed up the definition of TIME
Message-ID<643f8e19-bbd5-4fb4-9efd-830412a9a5f1n@googlegroups.com>
 
He said that: “time is what the clock shows”
This definition is screwed up.This definition implies that a unit of clock time such as  a clock second represent the same amount of time in different frames......unfortunately it does not.
In real life each clock accumulate clock seconds at different rates. That means that a clock second is not a set amount of time in different frames. So that means that Einstein’s definition is wrong. Instead, each  clock second in different frames represents a different amount of clock time and that’s why each observer observes clock time dilation for clocks moving wrt him..

What time does your watch show?




-- 
The Starmaker -- To question the unquestionable, ask the unaskable,
 to think the unthinkable, mention the unmentionable, say the unsayable,
and challenge
 the unchallengeable.

When Einstein looked at his clock to see what time the clock shows...


he only saw the time,
he couldn't see by looking
at the face of of clock whether it
was daytime or night time 
(he would have to look out the window to
see if it was 12:am or 12:00 pm.)


Also, he didn't know what day it was without looking
at a calender...

Ken, you have said thousands of stupid things over the past
decades, but this probably trumps (-pun intended-) them all:
   "He was wrong because he was right."
Congratulations.

Stupid, there is no clock time unit (including a clock second) that represents the same amount of absolute time in different frames.

Rate is an absolute... compare it to light speed...
It can appear different but still is an absolute.

if not mistaken, that's exactly the theory of Dirk vdM. He takes space as 
vt, a distance to the observed.

CORRECTION: Every fucking clock, since the dawn of civilization, marks time differently. It doesn't matter if it's a solar clock, a sand
clock, a pendulum clock, even any atomic clock (make your choice for hyperfine transitions for a given element).

Relativity needs AN ABSOLUTE, UNDISPUTED source that marks the flow of time. Not on Earth, nor ever.

Funny: relativity needs absolutism.

I suggest to adopt any cosmic source with proven accuracy and stability, and refer time to that source. Maybe 100 million ly away.
It will settle any controversy. 

And by the way, instead of ether, I suggest to adopt the cosmic background radiation as a reference. But ONLY after the imbeciles
decipher what the fuck CBR is.

CBR is a radiation, it is not a frame, ignoramus. On a different note, you need to use more caps.

What would be the point of having a definition that meant that we could 
not measure time?

We want a definition that fits our experience of the passage of time, 
and that can be used in calculations to predict how events will unfold.

Forgive Miss, i might be reading wrong into what you wrote..

but you last sentence reads: calculations to predict how events will unfold

I read it as "predict...events will unfold" as you have some "calculations"
to predict events unfolding in the future.


I was just wondering what kind of 'calculations' can be used to predict the future? Like horses in a race track.


But, nevermind Miss, maybe you mean something else. 


Women, who can understand them????

Useful things like predicting whether an aircraft will fly, or a bridge 
fall down.

The kinds of things you seem to want to predict are problematic due to a 
lack of information about initial conditions, and chaotic sensitivity to 
those conditions. This limits the predictive power.

Einstein assumed wrongly that a clock second is an absolute interval of absolute time.....it is not. There is no clock time unit (including a clock second) that represents the same amount of absolute time in different frames.

Einstein made no such assumption, and had no interest in hypothetical 
quantities that cannot be measured.

He was interested in the rates of physical processes. One such process 
is the one that governs the operation of clocks.
