Is Time Slowing Down?



-  2087  -   Is Time Slowing Down?  This time slowing can be proven with the muon that reaches Earth’s surface from the upper atmosphere.  The whole problem revolves around trying to keep the speed of light constant regardless of its motion through space.  The speed of light must remain constant at 1 foot per nanosecond.

-----------------------------  2087  -  Is Time Slowing Down?
-
-  Time is what God created to make certain everything did not happen all at once.  The passage of time only travels in one direction from past to present to future.  We have measured time in intervals in many ways:  the number of drips of water, the number of grains of sand, the cycles of a swinging pendulum, the oscillations powered by a wound spring, the vibrations of a quartz crystal.  Always science was attempting to get greater accuracy by using smaller and smaller intervals of time in the count.
-
-  Today the time interval of a second is defined as the frequency of radiation of a cesium 133 atom.  The photons emitted by the electron jumping between two hyper-fine levels of the ground state of energy of the atom.  One second is the duration of   9,192,631,770 frequency cycles of these photons (of this laser light).
-
-  Now you would think that would be accurate enough for most people.  And, you would think it would be stable enough and not change over time.  Well we do not know if it changes over time, but, we do know that it changes over space.  The faster you move through space the slower the time intervals tick.  Time turns out to not be always the same with  the 9,192,6131,770 ticks of the cesium atom.
-
-  This time slowing can be proven with the muon that reaches Earth’s surface from the upper atmosphere.  The lifetime of a muon is 2.2 microseconds.  When it is created by a cosmic ray traveling at 99.8% the speed of light its time is slowed.  It should travel 660 meters in its lifetime, but it reaches Earth miles below because it is living 15 times longer, 33.8 microseconds.  Because of its high velocity time has slowed down for the lifetime of the muon to reach the surface of the Earth.
-
-  The whole problem revolves around trying to keep the speed of light constant regardless of its motion through space.  For the stationary observer the faster an object travels the slower its time.
-
-   You can conceptualize this by thinking about two mirrors separated and mounted on the floor and the ceiling of a railroad car.  A beam of light, a photon,  is bouncing up and down between the two mirrors.  Straight up and straight down in a straight line when the railroad car is stationary.  Now, the car is moving  and the observer is still stationary.  When the car goes by the observer sees the photon go up and down in the form of a triangle in space.  He sees a zigzag motion.  It appears to the observer that the photon is traveling a greater distance over the same time.  Traveling 10 feet in 10 nanoseconds going straight up and down it now appears that the photon is traveling 30 feet in 10 nanoseconds.  That is 3 times faster.  But, that is impossible.
-
-   The speed of light must remain constant at 1 foot per nanosecond.  Therefore, the time must slow down for the observer so the photon is taking longer to go diagonally up and diagonally down on the moving train.  To the observer the 30 feet takes 30 nanoseconds.  The velocity of light to all observers must be 1 foot per nanosecond regardless of their relative motion through space.
-
-  This time slowing is not just mathematical, it is real.  If the twin’s Ava and Noah were part of a space mission and Noah made the team and Ava did not.  Noah accelerated in a space ship with 3 other astronauts to the stars and back.  When Noah returned we was nine years older.  But, Ava was now an old lady, 89 years old.  Noah was traveling near the speed of light and time ran slower for him.   Ava stayed home and the time clicked at the normal faster rate here on Earth.
-
-  I know this is only a thought experiment because humans can not travel near the speed of light.  So, would this really happen? Yes.   We can observe it happening in the life of the muon.  Ever science test so far says time dilation is true.
-
-  Somehow Time is part of our Universe. Somehow Time is a fundamental part of space.  A four dimensional spacetime is out there.  All quantum mechanic effects have built in time elapses.  Time is a rate that is not constant in the x-y-z space and time directions.  Time will vary in order to keep the x-y-z space per time a constant ratio at 1 foot per nanosecond.
-
-  Photons have no rest, they always move at 299,792,458 meters per second.  Photons do not experience Time at all.  Somehow Time stands still for them, yet, they move so fast.  The Universe is so big it still takes the fast photons 13,700,000,000 years to reach across the Universe traveling at light speed.  But during that Time they did not experience any of it.  Amazing!  This stuff boggles the mind.
