- 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.

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.
