Understanding Space and Time

Note: These are some of my initial thoughts on space and time. I have since refined this into a more concise model that leaves out any talk of radioactive decay. In my final analysis, both space and time become properties related to the aether and its interaction with inertial matter. This is explained in full in my book on aether physics.

Space and time are relative terms. We always measure a distance relative to a ruler, and we always measure time relative to a clock.

There's no way around this. There simply does not exist any truly objective standard, and herein lies the clue to understanding the relative nature of space and time.

Since radioactive decay is the most precise way we have to measure time, we can use the Velcro model of the atomic nucleus to illustrate how time is related to the presence of photons.

Imagine a radioactive nucleus under normal conditions. This can be imagined as a large swollen balloon, full of neutrino pressure.

Mixed in among the neutrinos are zero-point photons with sufficient energy to do some work. They are the sledgehammers, so to speak. They bounce about inside the nucleus, ready to tear out a bit of it at any time, thereby producing a click of the clock.

If we now subject our nuclear clock to a repulsive magnetic force, the number of zero-point photons inside the nuclei increase. This is explained in the chapter on magnetic fields in the book on the Velcro model.

There is an increase in sledgehammers. The radioactivity of the nuclei increase, and we register this in our clock as a speeding up of time.

Note that time speeds up for the clock inside the repelling magnetic force, relative to ourselves who stay safely outside the magnetic field. Time has increased for the clock, but not for us.

It is important to note that this is not merely a trick to make radioactive stuff more radioactive. It is a mechanism for increasing action in general. All things inside a strong repelling magnetic field will display a speeding up of time. This includes mechanical clocks, animals and humans.

The reason for this is that any action requires the presence of photons. When there is an increase in photons, things happen quicker, relative to an external observer.

Conversely, if we put our clock in a strong attracting force, there will be fewer photons inside the nuclei. There are fewer sledgehammers, and demolition takes more time. Clicks of the clock become less frequent. Time slows down.

In an extreme case, where all photons have been sucked out of a region, there can be no action. The particles carrying the energy required for work have all exited, and time grinds to a halt.

Time is in other words dependent on the availability of photons. The more photons a region holds, the more action there is.

Similarly, space is also a relative term.

We can measure space with the size of atoms. However, the size of an atom depends on the availability of neutrinos. With more neutrinos inside the nuclei of atoms, the nuclei expand, and electrons bouncing off of them can bounce higher. Molecular bindings happen farther out.

Everything grows when there is an increase in neutrinos. A ruler, placed inside a strong repelling electric field becomes bigger.

Conversely, in a strong attracting electric field, the number of neutrinos decrease. The atomic nuclei shrink. The electrons bounce about closer to the nuclei, and molecular bindings become shorter. Everything shrinks, and we register that space has become smaller.

Relative to an outside observer, rulers expand and contract in response to changes in the electric field, and time speeds up and slow down in response to changes in the magnetic field.
