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.
 
I asked a question here, probably over 15 years ago on entanglement and I appreciated the thoughtful answers I received back then. The intervening years haven't made me any more knowledgeable in physics, so forgive my naïveté ! If a have a piece of paper in an area of high gravity, lets say near a black hole, and I draw a triangle on this paper and 'measure' the angles of the triangle, will they add to 180 degrees? How about if I'm looking at this paper outside of the (reasonable)...
Thread 'Relativity of simultaneity in actuality'
I’m attaching two figures from the book, Basic concepts in relativity and QT, by Resnick and Halliday. They are describing the relativity of simultaneity from a theoretical pov, which I understand. Basically, the lightning strikes at AA’ and BB’ can be deemed simultaneous either in frame S, in which case they will not be simultaneous in frame S’, and vice versa. Only in one of the frames are the two events simultaneous, but not in both, and this claim of simultaneity can be done by either of...
