Is it possible for the to be a universal clock that someone outside of the universe could time events with, and view the different ways that time travels in the universe?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
There is nobody "outside the universe", so the answer is no.
 
Well I mean if there were. There's nobody near a black hole, but we could still imagine if there were somebody how time would flow relative to something else. If God is outside the universe, is it possible for there to be a universal clock?

This question assumes a false premise, and therefore doesn't have an answer.
 
How do you mean?
 
It is against the forum rules to mix religion and science. Thread closed.

Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'

1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...

Thread '1-Way Speed of Light'

Does the speed of light change in a gravitational field depending on whether the direction of travel is parallel to the field, or perpendicular to the field? And is it the same in both directions at each orientation? This question could be answered experimentally to some degree of accuracy. Experiment design: Place two identical clocks A and B on the circumference of a wheel at opposite ends of the diameter of length L. The wheel is positioned upright, i.e., perpendicular to the ground...
