    Fractal
In summary, if there exists an observer which is stationary and which observes the two particles moving uniformly, then the point S exists.

Fractal or ??

Let consider the well known Einstein Idea of local time disposed on Earth (attached to material points). Nobody can forbid me to consider this whole Earth (global realtive to earth) as a point again, with only one space-time coordinate (this way is easy of course, but the other seems less ?). Questions :

1) How do you make this transformation and it's inverse ?
2) Can this be seen as a kind of fractal universe ?

What transform? Inverse of what?
2) Can this be seen as a kind of fractal universe ?

Unfortunatly I simply do not understand what you are asking. Perhaps you need to rephrase your question.

Precision of the former post

Well i just try to say the following :

let consider the Earth in a let say theoretical atomistic approach : the Earth in this academic view is a (idealized for calculation) sphere composed of a continuum of point particles (density of matter). Following Einstein's relativity point of view, every point of this density has it's own space-time coordinate. In Galilean/Newtonian approach, the time is the same for every "point particle" there. Hence in the classical (Galilean) approach, when one simplifies the problems toward classical dynamics, it just considers the coordinate of the center of mass and the time is of course the time of any of the given set of point particle, since they all have the same local time.

However, with the venue of relativity, one is not allowed to take this simple way. Now, if there exist an oberver for which the clocks attached to every point particle has the same flow, then can we consider this special point for the "pointification" of the above Earth ?

For example, let consider 2 uniformly moving particles, then I think it is almost obvious that there exist a uniformly moving one, such that both clocks tick the same way...What is the condition of existence of such (a) point(S).

For 2 particles, the speed of the middle equivalent time point is given by :

v_c=c^2/v_2 pm c sqrt(c^2/v_2^2-1)

From this point, the two clocks are clicking at the same rate
(example for two...what about 3 ?)
 

1. What is a fractal universe and how is it related to Einstein's idea of local time on Earth?

A fractal universe is a concept that suggests the universe is made up of repeating patterns that are self-similar at different scales. This idea is related to Einstein's theory of local time on Earth because it suggests that time may not be constant throughout the universe, but rather can be influenced by gravitational forces and other factors.

2. How does Einstein's theory of relativity explain time dilation in a fractal universe?

Einstein's theory of relativity explains time dilation as a result of objects moving at different speeds or being in different gravitational fields. In a fractal universe, this means that time may appear to move at different rates in different parts of the universe due to the varying gravitational forces.

3. Is it possible for humans to experience different rates of time in a fractal universe?

While it is not currently possible for humans to travel to other parts of the universe and experience time dilation, it is theoretically possible in a fractal universe. However, the effects would likely be very small and imperceptible to humans.

4. Can studying the fractal universe help us better understand the concept of time?

Yes, studying the fractal universe and its patterns can give us a deeper understanding of the concept of time. It allows us to see how time is relative and can vary depending on different factors, rather than being a constant force.

5. Are there any practical applications for understanding the fractal universe and local time on Earth?

While there are no direct practical applications, understanding the fractal universe and local time on Earth can help us develop a better understanding of the universe and how it works. This knowledge can also lead to advancements in technology and our understanding of the world around us.
