Here's a link to a report on the study I mentioned. It was by David Hochberg and Thomas Kephart.

This is something that has really been bugging me lately. There was a study from over twenty years ago that proposed that electromagnetic radiation might have been able to pass from one end of the universe to another in the early universe, furnishing an explanation for the homogeneity of the...
But here's the thing, though: Theoretically, one could always shorten the distance between the mirrors, making more tick-tocks occur. This would mean that, even within one tick-tock, time would still elapse. Am I getting this wrong?
Correct me if I am wrong, but my basic understanding of how the Chronology Protection Conjecture (CPC) would work is that, as virtual particles created from the quantum fields of the vacuum would traverse a wormhole and arrive in the past, they would then travel back into the wormhole alongside...
That's not the issue I have, though. I totally get it that each will perceive the other's clock as running slower. My issue is that I feel that someone's clock running slower would result in more, rather than less, time passing for them, but, in reality, somehow, it is the reverse.
For example...
I am confused about time dilation. I understand that a common pedagogical device used is a light clock, in which a pulse of light flashes back and forth between two objects. I understand that when an observer in a vehicle carrying such a contraption is moving, to an external observer, as the...
