- How does objective universal time conflict with relativity?
In the thread is-the-small-world-uncertain-or-is-that-our-perception @mitchell porter said:
Can someone explain what "objective universal time" is and what it means for it to conflict with the "spirit of relativity"? Is this an aspect of interpretation where you could describe all events using "objective universal time" and it would be an equivalent description, but it would violate the language (spirit?) of relativity that we have decided to use?John Bell defined a more generally applicable approach in "Beables for Quantum Field Theory", but it conflicts with the spirit of relativity (in that it requires an objective universal time).
