| − | == Time dilation without relativity and without light - is it possible? Yes, it is. A revolution in physics. == | + | == Information and Relativistic Time Dilation? == |
| | | | |
| − | The precise equation for time dilation can be obtained without any notion of light or relativity. The answer sought is to the question: ''what causes time dilation''? The answer is a rare application of beauty and simplicity and delivers more than that. | + | The question is this: are laws of physics the results of predetermined relationships, or are they result of using information? |
| | | | |
| − | This has never been done before, and so I present a revolutionary approach to fundamental physics. It does not argue or disprove any existing physics ''per se'', and you could say that it doesn't introduce new physics either. Yet the idea is very simple and it produces mathematical results that unite Relativity, Quantum Theory and Gravity. | + | This seemingly has nothing to do with time dilation, mass increase and such. But it does. Read more about this important question: |
| | | | |
| − | This approach is based on information theory. It is unlike any attempts to use information theory before. This is not 'it from bit', or 'universe is a computer' etc. This is a fundamental application of information axioms to physics, i.e. it ''has to be so''.
| + | [http://www.msg2act.com/physics/ch/index.shtml] |
| | | | |
| − | An essay describing the thinking that led to this theory [http://msg2act.com/physics/EinsteinHeisenbergMarriage.pdf can be found here].
| + | It turns out, there is a connection between information processing and SR/GR time dilation. |
| | | | |
| − | Here is the short abstract/premise explaining the basic idea loosely:
| + | In a simplified way, the more information there is, the slower the rate of physical processes. |
| | | | |
| − | <blockquote>
| + | Antecedent to first concept of physics, main SR/GR results can be derived out of thin air, without postulates. |
| − | '''''Abstract''': Short proof of SR time dilation equation without concepts and postulates of Einstein's special relativity.''
| |
| − | <Br/>
| |
| − | '''''Premise''' : Any physical effect occurs only due to possession and use of information. To facilitate this idea, we will call''
| |
| − | ''fundamental entities that possess and use information 'computers' and the usage itself 'processing'. A computer has fixed''
| |
| − | ''processing throughput and memory storage enough to process its own information. A computer has memory in form of''
| |
| − | ''previous and current information content, corresponding to previous and current computation. Each computation combines''
| |
| − | ''previous and current content to produce new information. Computer's information exists in space around it and is available''
| |
| − | ''instantly to any computer. If there is more information than storage, then information is processed to fit (i.e. 'compressed').''
| |
| − | </blockquote>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Based on this, the famous equation involving sqrt(c^2-v^2) can be derived without any notion of the speed of light or relativity. How is this even possible? The proof is simple and is a one-page PDF document: [http://msg2act.com/physics/simpleSRDerivation.pdf one page proof of SR time dilation].
| |
| − | | |
| − | A full theory has been accepted for publishing in GED (Galilean Electrodynamics) and the [http://msg2act.com/physics/ComputivityOnline.pdf current version can be found here].
| |
| − | | |
| − | The theory presented derives Einstein's results from SR and GR (such as time dilation and mass increase). ''The theory finds a single cause for time dilation.'' Both SR and GR time dilation are derived without any notion of light, relativity or gravity.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The same informational approach derives also the principle of uncertainty, i.e. it unites what's known as relativity and quantum mechanics.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Newtonian gravity is found as a consequence of informational loss and is derived in the paper.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note that exact equations of time dilation (both SR/GR), SR mass increase, principle of uncertainty and Newtonian gravity are ''derived'' in as little as 8 pages. There are no postulates or principles to begin with. The reasoning is simple without mind-boggling precepts or results. ''There is no potential for paradoxes.'' All the aforementioned results are derived as limiting cases. In other words, I present more generic equations. Einsteins equations are a special case. As are those of Quantum mechanics, and Newtonian gravity.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I will also ''deduce'' what speed of light must be, and ''deduce'' the Einstein's first postulate (about the constancy of speed of light) as well as Einstein's principle of equivalence.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''Deducing postulates is a powerful proof that something more profound is afoot.''
| |
| − | | |
| − | The practical implications of this theory are staggering. While this theory conforms to all known experiments, it points to novel technologies. Namely, gravity generation and practical interstellar flight. [http://msg2act.com/physics/PrincipleOfFlight.pdf Read more on principles of Real-Time Interstellar Flight].
