REXITIVITY

Tar, i was also like you once and all these big words made no sense. Here is the reason time is variable. Light hits you at the exact speed whether you are going towards it or away. Technically light is supernatural...making time change around it. Thus if were going at near the speed of light on the Enterprise, a Clingon could shoot a laser from behind and still hit you at light speed. Einstein thought that crazy because every other form of matter (like a bullet), would impact the Enterpise at different speeds based on Enterprises direction. He finally considered time must be the variable...for it was the only thing left to vary, if light did not. Again...light is this crazy supernatural force in the universe that always stays constant, or invarient...which was what he originally wanted to call Relativity. Thus every moving object in the universe has its own relative time based on its speed. The faster you go, the longer time must get so that light passes by you at 186000 miles per second. It is not the 186000 that changes, it is the length of the second. if you were going 93000 miles per second your clock would still see light go by at 186000 per second...it is just that your second is twice as long as the second on earth. So a twin could blast off very fast. His clock could read 1 year...but when he got back to earth ,his brother would have experienced 2 . I have written a book that explains it better...www.rexitivity.com...sorry you have to buy it for 9 bucks...but it answers so many things, you will be dumbfounded. Ps when they try to tell you gravity lengthens time, they(and Einstein) are incorrect. Gravity shrinks both time and space...because it can bend light and shorten its wavelength. Again, light is the supernatural force that controls time.

Just a question...to my understanding heat is only expressed when compression occurs. Have you considered if time and space could be compressing? Consider what happens to Energy in Einstein's formula when time compresses? It is not hard math, and you will find extraordinary amounts of energy are released. I too have written a book, but about time; and find the answers you seek are easily explained by introducing the variablility of time. Time and space were much bigger in the past, and compression has created a heated spinning universe...could it be?

I am a timeologist, and wonder if you have the basic concept of why time changes and how much. The only thing that determines your time, is light; and your speed in relationship to it. Light is the invarable, time is the variable. Thus if you are going very very fast, your local time would be much different than earth time...1 day would equal 1000 years on earth at 1/2 mile below the speed of light. The planet of the apes premise of astronauts returning centuries later is possible. The astronaut could experience a couple of days by his watch, and the earth 2000. Thus your question about relative time all hinges around relative speed. The one post that imagined what time would do if you could exceed the speed of light was accurate. Time would stop for the universe...because it is all relative to light. Your space would become huge and the universe would appear to shrink, like the view from a plane as it takes off. You could cross it and enter back with no time off the clock...is that too fantastic to believe? The big question is: can we exceed the speed of light? There is evidence we can...and that Mass would not increase as einstein said. I suspect I will get someone's guffaw with that...rightly so...but what if it was mathmatically provable?
