You can't 'understand' why Nature works as she does.
A theory of physics is a mathematical model of an aspect of Nature.
It doesn't 'explain' anything.

The only test of a mathematical consistent theory
is if it can correctly predict what will be measured in experiments.
It takes but one wrong prediction to falsify a theory.

Relativity (SR/GR) does obviously not "explain" anything.
But SR/GR will correctly predict what the different observers
will measure in experiments.

If you think it is self-contradictory that different observers
have different measurements of the observed object's properties,
consider this:

The observer's state of motion can not affect the observed object.
But the observer's state of motion can affect the observer's
measurements of the observed object's properties.

This is nonsense.


Let "the moving object" be a clock.
The metric in flat spacetime can be written:

    dτ² = dt² - (dx² + dy² + dz²)/c²   (1)

where τ is what the clock shows, c is the speed of light
and t,x,y,z are the coordinates of an inertial frame of reference.

from (1) we have:
   (dτ/dt)² = (1 - ((dx/dt)²+(dy/dt)²+(dz/dt)²)/c²) = (1−v²/c²) (2)

where v = √((dx/dt)²+(dy/dt)²+(dz/dt)²) is the magnitude of
the moving object's velocity.

from (2) we have:
  dt/dτ = 1/√(1 − v²/c²) =  γ

Let the velocity of the clock be:
    v₁ = dx/dt   component along x-axis
    v₂ = dy/dt   component along y-axis
    v₃ = dz/dt   component along z-axis

The components of the four-velocity will be:
  U₀ = dt/dτ = γ                      component along the time axis
  U₁ = dx/dτ = (dx/dt)⋅(dt/dτ) = γ⋅v₁  component along the x-axis
  U₂ = dy/dτ = (dy/dt)⋅(dt/dτ) = γ⋅v₂  component along the y-axis
  U₃ = dx/dτ = (dz/dt)⋅(dt/dτ) = γ⋅v₃  component along the z-axis

If v = 0, the object is stationary and γ = 1.
U₀ = 1, U₁ = 0, U₂ = 0, U₃ = 0

So the "rate of the clock along the time axis" is 1.

That does _not_ mean that the clock is moving at the speed
of light along the  time axis (what a weird idea ).

It simply means that the clock is ticking at its normal
rate, one time unit per time unit.

The four "dimensions" are _not_ identical, the temporal "dimension"
is fundamentally different from the spatial "dimensions".


It can be shown that the magnitude of th four-velocity is invariant:

  U = - U₀² + U₁² + U₂² + U₃² = -1

well thanks, but this is kind of false too. As you impose macros scale 
math and logic along your model. An explanation might not imply that. 
Remember that the math and logic only governs macro scale, not quantum and 
not beyond speed of light domains. Making my

so much indeed.

And as a proof that's the only test -  a relativistic
idiot can insult and slander anyone who disagree.

Fortunately, The Shit of his insane guru is not a
consistent theory.

A lie, of course - anyone can check GPS.

I believe you are "misunderstanding" me.  It is possible to under-
stand why a theory works when you have experimental evidence for
the inputs to that theory.  For SR we have the principle of rela-
tivity, the constancy of the speed of light, etc.  Application of
those postulates (i.e., determined by measurements) allows us to
understand why time dilation happens.  We don't understand why
the principles exist -- at present.  We may someday, but those
will be based on some other measurements that we don't understand
why nature works that way.

Of course, but that one wrong prediction must be a GOOD prediction,
not one invented by an incompetent.  And if it turns out to BE a
good prediction, it will likely be based on different postulates.
Same with a good measurement.

No, it's not (but I disagree with it)

To play devil's advocate, what that lecturer said is EXACTLY what
the Minkowski diagram shows:  The stationary observer begins at
x = 0 and t = 0, but he doesn't STAY at t = 0.  He is moving at a
constant rate along the t-axis.  Usually, the t and x-axes have
the same scales (note: the speed of light is depicted at a 45 degree
angle).  Can you tell how fast he's moving along the t axis?

Not on a Minkowski diagram.  And your equations for four-velocity
have left out the "dimensions" of the dimensions: they aren't simply
v, they are v/c, so your dimensions are light-seconds/second, or
such.

> It can be shown that the magnitude of th four-velocity is invariant:

Yes, and to the stationary observer, the speed of the clock along U₀
is no longer 1, it's shared with the speed along the spatial dimensions.
To the clock, however, it's happily moving along its t' axis - at speed
c.

To reiterate, I don't go along with time being another spatial
dimension,
even though the Minkowski diagram AND the Lorentz transform treat it
EXACTLY that way.

BTW, it has been shown the four-vector notation is invalid for tachyons
due to a nasty little error in the four-momentum derivation which nearly
everyone has missed.

Another is that mass-energy can be localized in space but not in time,
else mass-energy is not conserved.

So I totally agree with you, Paul, that time is NOT a spatial dimension.
This means that using certain formalisms may bite you in the behind if
you're not careful.

what do you have with the human race, are you Chinese??

 Epstein and Prince Andrew accuser dies by suicide – family
Virginia Giuffre’s accusation of sexual abuse by the senior British royal 
was settled out of court in 2022 
https://www.rt.com/news/616342-virginia-giuffre-epstein-suicide/

So,… looks like the JEW Wet-Team finally got her. COVER STORY: «… 
Something, something, something,…. school bus accident,…. renal failure,… 
dead…» JD – US Marine: Jew Saying: «You May Get Money From Us,… But You 
Won’t Get To Spend It!…»

a young prostitute who partied and sexed it up with the rich and famous. 
she’s a ‘victim’ of poor parenting and proper guidance.

There’s too much secrecy surrounding her injuries and accidents and 
several stays at the hospital. She seemed to be extremely mentally 
unstable.

How ironic. Virginia moved to a penal colony that’s still owned by the 
British royal family with the king as the head of state.

Publish the entire list. Do not cherry pick, How many US Senators and 
Congress men and mayors are on that list ?

You really should limit yourself to speak
in your own name, Harrie. No surprise, however,
that such an arrogant idiot believes the humanity
is speaking through his mouth.

You should think in terms of complex numbers (in three dimensions plus 
time).

This is a 'rotatable' construct, which would allow an 'opposite world', 
where the local time there runs backwards for us.

This is a 'geometric algebra' based on complex quaternions (also called 
'complex-four-vectors').

Now we have always only one direction of time, which is imaginary in any 
given context, but three real axes of space. Those are 'orthogonal' to 
the imaginary axis of time (because they are real).

Now the trick is, that you can rotate the axis of time around and always 
get an 'orthogonal' space, but a different one for any axis of time.

Now we could imagine an axis of time, which points backwards (in our view).

This 'backwards time' had also an orthogonal space, which is filled with 
'orthogonal' matter, too, which is 'anti-matter' in our view.

That anti-world could pass right through everything we see, because it 
is invisible for us.

This concept is actually a little strange, but could explain all sorts 
of strange findings.

I have written kind of 'book' about this, hence you can  have a look:

There is an excellent book I like written by a famous scholar Martin
Nilsson called Primitive Time Reckoning. It would be a step up for them
if the relativists were to study it.  Even animals have a better
understanding of time than relativists.
"The corpse flower, also known as the Titan Arum, blooms irregularly,
typically every 7 to 10 years."

"In Los Angeles, California, the 2025 17-year cicada emergence is not
expected to occur. Brood XIV, a large group of 17-year cicadas, will
emerge in a dozen states in the Eastern United States, including states
like New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Los Angeles is not in the
Brood XIV range."

"In the Philippines, the periodic breeding of sea urchins, specifically
Tripneustes gratilla, is typically observed from June to November, with
a major peak in November."

Time is real because time = distance/ speed. e.g. 2 hours = 60 miles/ 30
mph.
