    Graduate Does time dilation measure atomic vibrations rather than time itself?

    I didn't read this anywhere, really, but let me think about what you said. I may just be missing a basic concept somewhere.

    Graduate Does time dilation measure atomic vibrations rather than time itself?

    Yes, but the electron movement is also affected by pressure. The resonance frequency would change under different conditions. This difference is what we are measuring when we do all the time dilation experiments. Correct?

    Graduate Does time dilation measure atomic vibrations rather than time itself?

    We measure time based off of atomic vibrations, so time dilation from gravity and velocity are nothing more than pressure applied to the atoms, slowing their vibrations. This isn't an accurate measure of what we consider time, but more of a measure of the reaction of atomic vibrations under...
