SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the relationship between gravity and time, positing that gravity can be viewed as a compression of space towards its center, which affects relativistic speeds. The contributor asserts that time is an outcome of perception rather than a force, emphasizing that time is experienced through comparative events rather than causality. Additionally, the discussion highlights the notion that the space within an atom is greater than the space outside it, suggesting that mass contains significant gravitational potential.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of general relativity principles
  • Familiarity with the concept of relativistic speeds
  • Basic knowledge of atomic structure and quantum mechanics
  • Awareness of virtual particle theory
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of general relativity on time perception
  • Explore the concept of relativistic effects in gravitational fields
  • Study the relationship between mass and gravitational potential energy
  • Investigate virtual particle flux and its impact on particle interactions
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, students of theoretical physics, and anyone interested in the interplay between gravity and time in the context of relativity and quantum mechanics.

[SOLVED] time and time again

IN the interests of discussion, the following is not a theory but an observation guided by selected principles espoused by others over time.

If one thinks of gravity as space that shrinks towards it's centre then one can see that relativistic speeds increase as one gets closer to this centre (hence attraction). One cubic metre of space near our moon is larger than one cubic metre of space on the planets surface. So therefore to travel one metre in volumetric space on the moon is relativistically slower than that on earth.( a sense of wieghtlessness in like a sense of slow time)

I feel that to differentiate between forces is our main problem and I also believe that time is only an outcome not a force. Because time can only be perceived and felt by a perceptive being as an event of happening using comparative methods, rather than an event of causality.


An interesting observation of logic is that the space inside our theoretical atom is greater than what is outside it. As gravity?space compresses the space involved becomes greater so an object of mass contains an enourmous amount of space/gravity and could be regarded as an energistic potential.

Have fun

I too think that time is an effect, not a cause. I think it is caused by any particle's interations with the virtual particle flux that is everywhere.
