all speed are relative to the observer, but if we have 2 planets with inteligent beings and for one of them all the objects in the universe seem to move just a bit slower than the other planet, wouldn't it then be less matter and energy in thge universe for those biengs? and with finite amount of matter and galaxies it must exist somewhere where its like that.

(note this is some fast thoughts that flow through my brain, i didnt think it trough so muchy but i want to hear what u guys say)

one of them all the objects in the universe seem to move just a bit slower than the other planet,

This is hard to imagine unless everything in the universe was moving in the same direction. However why should this difference in observed mass be a problem?
 


The concept of relativistic energy and matter is a fundamental principle in the field of physics. It states that all physical laws and measurements are relative to the observer's frame of reference. This means that the perception of speed, time, and distance can vary for different observers depending on their relative motion.

In regards to your question about two planets with intelligent beings and their perception of the universe, it is important to understand that the amount of matter and energy in the universe remains constant. It is the perception of these objects that may differ due to the relative speeds of the observers.

For the beings on the planet where everything appears to move slower, they would not necessarily have less matter and energy in their universe. It is just their perception that is different. From their perspective, objects may appear to have lower speeds and less energy, but in reality, the amount of matter and energy remains the same.

Additionally, the concept of a finite amount of matter and galaxies in the universe is still a topic of ongoing research and debate in the scientific community. While it is currently believed that the universe is expanding and contains a finite amount of matter, there are also theories that suggest the possibility of a multiverse or infinite universe.

In conclusion, the concept of relativistic energy and matter highlights the importance of considering the observer's frame of reference in understanding the physical world. And while the perception of matter and energy may vary for different observers, the fundamental principles of the universe, including the conservation of matter and energy, remain constant.
 
In this video I can see a person walking around lines of curvature on a sphere with an arrow strapped to his waist. His task is to keep the arrow pointed in the same direction How does he do this ? Does he use a reference point like the stars? (that only move very slowly) If that is how he keeps the arrow pointing in the same direction, is that equivalent to saying that he orients the arrow wrt the 3d space that the sphere is embedded in? So ,although one refers to intrinsic curvature...
ASSUMPTIONS 1. Two identical clocks A and B in the same inertial frame are stationary relative to each other a fixed distance L apart. Time passes at the same rate for both. 2. Both clocks are able to send/receive light signals and to write/read the send/receive times into signals. 3. The speed of light is anisotropic. METHOD 1. At time t[A1] and time t[B1], clock A sends a light signal to clock B. The clock B time is unknown to A. 2. Clock B receives the signal from A at time t[B2] and...
So, to calculate a proper time of a worldline in SR using an inertial frame is quite easy. But I struggled a bit using a "rotating frame metric" and now I'm not sure whether I'll do it right. Couls someone point me in the right direction? "What have you tried?" Well, trying to help truly absolute layppl with some variation of a "Circular Twin Paradox" not using an inertial frame of reference for whatevere reason. I thought it would be a bit of a challenge so I made a derivation or...
