I have decent understanding of GR/SR explanation of our universe's laws, however I feel that the theory basic concepts and imply complications which are making simple problems (like twin paradox) appear more complicated than they should.
I understand that there are alternate theories that do not generally conflict with relativity but are have different "rules" which make them easier to comprehend.
The theory would be fully compatible with observed measurements but have different rules, concepts, basis of thought/formulas preferably close to these:
- Preferred/Universal "frame" is is one of a body at "rest" where rest is defined to be at rest wrt CMB at this epoch. That frame has "universal clock rate" and defined speed of light.
- Universe is not expanding
- The clock rate of the universe is universally changing over time (compatible with experiments)
- Distances and space coordinates/positions are absolute and not curved
- Time is relative and its effect broken into two: into clock dilation and event propagation delay
- The clock is dilated and AND events delayed in gravitational fields. Clock dilation and event propagation speed are curved in gravitational fields.
- Moving objects have "absolute positions" in universal frame at any point in (universal) time's snapshots.
- Moving object's clock is slowed.
- Moving object's shape and "perception" is altered wrt that one at rest
My problem is that I don't like to read formula-heavy readings. Formulas are there for scientists and experiment confirmations. General public doesn't need those. So please be mindful of that when recommending :)
I apologize in advance if this is not the forum to post the request. Feel free to move my thread.
Thanks
