i mean all transformations. Maybe think of it in terms of the vibrating strings of string theory finally settling down and not vibrating anymore, resulting maybe in a universe with only one stagnant form of energy

could it be, that the transformation of energy throughout the universe from one form to another is slowing down?; Similar to a wave pool gradually becoming still?

So does that mean that the time dilation isn't affecting time, but is just affecting the oscillation of the matter's particles? Thus causing quicker decay but not defining "time" as a pliable medium?

if his internal organs are working to keep him alive, that's motion. So then his organs should be experiencing time. Maybe his frozen outer body would not experience a normal aging process but i think his internal organs would. Its normal to not experience time while sleeping and the body is...

That makes sense, but I'm still not so sure how that explains the absence of leaning. The dilation is effecting the rate of the electrons motion as you described, but what about the motion of the clock in general in regards to its projected path? Am I correct with assuming the solution lies in...

Why not? I think they do lean. But I know that they never appear to lean. The future of the object should be towards the projected path of motion. Motion in the atoms causing aging, motion in the clock ticking, and last but not least, the motion of its projected path. Therefore it should...

lets take the tall object and put it upright in the back of a pickup truck and drive it in one direction for a long time----are you saying the when the truck reaches the end of the road, more time will have gone by for the top of the object than the bottom, even though the top and the bottom...

ok now let's say that there is a very tall pole, mountain, or skyscraper. A clock at the bottom and a clock at the top. Let's say that after so many years the clock at the bottom has run slower than the clock at the top. Ok, now due to the constant movement/rotation/ of the Earth, does this...

Does any of this have an effect on the aging process of tall objects like the tops of traffic lights or the tops of buildings? I mean, if time is going faster near the edge of the atmosphere than at ground level, does that mean objects far up are aging faster than objects on the surface?

So "redshifted (lower frequency)" means the light shifted to a lower frequency as a result of moving away from the Earth and towards the observer? And if it was moving towards the Earth from the observer, it would be received on Earth as a blue-shifted light frequency? Is this due to Earth's...

Regarding... The way I've understood it is that light, if you imagine it in the form of waves, compresses and expands to accommodate the structure of space-time as gravitational fields shape it. Looking down at Earth from space, an observer would witness activities on Earth taking longer than...

Ok, I'm uneducated in physics and all I know is what I've learned from the internet and a single book "universe in a nutshell" by hawking. I am hoping someone here can shed some light on my apparent misunderstanding of time dilation. As far as I know time dilation is an effect of light...

yes, within every divisibly measurable amount of "time", there is a relative past and future. To say that we are in the "present" is stating that we are at the end of a series of infinitly divisible amount of time, which is a self-contradiction. If time has no end or beginning, then there is...

what does 8^0 mean? what does is equal? and where do you get 9-9/9^1/2 doesnt 9-9=0, then 0/9^1/2=0?

it has an infinite divisible magnitude
