    Theory Time
Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around a new theory proposing that time is influenced by velocity rather than being a standalone dimension. It suggests that time could theoretically stop at the speed of light or at a hypothetical minimum speed near the center of the universe. Participants debate the validity of this theory, referencing time dilation and the need for experiments with spacecraft traveling near light speed to test these claims. They also discuss the implications of existing experiments, such as muon decay, and the challenges in measuring time dilation accurately across various speeds. The conversation highlights the complexities of understanding time in relation to velocity and the universe's structure.

we are having this discussion because it is a theory
"...still a theory..." implies that there is another condition above and beyond a theory that Relativity could become. This demonstrates a lack of understanding (its quite a common misconception, actually) of the http://phyun5.ucr.edu/~wudka/Physics7/Notes_www/node5.html , apparently an important reason why you continue to pursue ether "theory."

for the last time...

I am not pursuing aether theory,
I don't give a rat's ass about aether theory

I clearly stated that I am only interested in pursuing absolute truth
using the sceintific method to arrive at the truth

which means putting all theories to the test

no matter how highly you or I regard Relativity Theory

it IS a theory

Latitude - since the Earth rotates and it is flattened at the poles, there are both SR and GR effects at work with changing lattitude.

...and altitude too.

But the dilation from the speed of rotation is exactly canceled by the change in the gravitational redshift due to the flattening. Atomic clocks on the geoid are not adjusted for their latitude.
