Hello.
I just read this http://www.haaretz.com/news/international/have-cern-scientists-managed-to-exceed-the-speed-of-light-1.386126" which says that scientists in CERN recorded neutrino particles traveling faster than the speed of light.
Now, I know how "scientifically literate" the media is...
Had a situation here.
Anyway, can please somebody explain to me what part of the question "What exactly causes time dilation" is a non physical one? That is, a question you're not supposed to direct to a physicist? What part of it is even remotely related to philosophy?
Absolutely. It gives one answer which raises the other. What causes the very effect of gravity? Is it the curves in spacetime, or is it caused by gravitons? And so on and on.
As you may see, all I was asking is what causes time dilation. What exactly makes time move at a different pace for...
the "why" I was talking about is quite physical. Why does the apple fall from a tree? Because it's attracted by Earth's gravity. It wasn't a philosophical kind of why but more like "what causes it"? What exactly happens when the two objects move at difference speeds that causes the time to run...
Hi.
It's known that for an object in a motion relative to another, time will slow down.
Now the question is why? Is it merely the mechanical effect that since the object is in motion, all its processes (which are practically motion of particles within the structure) now have to travel further...
