JohnMnemonic Posted April 3, 2018 Author Posted April 3, 2018 Quote Why doesn't the velocity change? Because it would mean changing the energy stored in a body - which would have to be accelerated or slowed down Quote Scaling isn't a physical process. This is the "redefine the meter" scenario I mentioned above. Unit systems are arbitrary. Going from 1 foot to one meter would change other units as well, if the imperial system had independent values for e.g. time. Doesn't affect the physics at all. I'm not talking about changing the unit, but about changing the actual distance in physical space. If we make a 1m 10 times bigger, we will get 10m

Just take a sinusoid wave form and scale it down - it will turn at some point into a stright line... That's just another thing, which is simple, trivial and obvious...

JohnMnemonic Posted April 3, 2018 Author Posted April 3, 2018 (edited) Quote An object moving in a circle must have a = v^2/r I think, that object moving in a circle can have any possible velocity - it's a value, which can be changed, by acceleration...

Being on Mars doesn't change the elapsed time (other than specific relativistic effects that are not being considered here) One year on Mars is longer, than one year on Earth - due to longer orbital cycle Of course, it won't affect your lenght of life, as your size won't change a bit - so your perception of time will remain the same, as on Earth... But things, would be different, if we would change our size - then it would be possible to perceive 1 year on Mars, as 1 year on Earth, but then from your perspective, orbital cycle of Earth would get shorter...

We're not discussing gravity - but simple circular motion of accelerated body Quote I said "mathematical" (mention "sinusoidal" doesn't make it mathematics). Jeez, scaling down the wave form will reduce the wavelenght and amplitude into infinite small values - so it will appear to a non-scaled observer, as stright line. Do you really need math, to understand something such trivial and obvious? You can also scale a circle and at some point, it will become flat for a non-scaled observer I see no point of proving something such obvious Edited April 3, 2018 by JohnMnemonic

JohnMnemonic Posted April 4, 2018 Author Posted April 4, 2018 (edited) It turns out, that my concept isn't that radical, as you might think. First of all, there are some professional scientists, who were smart enough to notice, that time as a physical dimension doesn't make too much sense: https://phys.org/news/2011-04-scientists-spacetime-dimension.html "Scientists suggest spacetime has no time dimension" "(PhysOrg.com) -- The concept of time as a way to measure the duration of events is not only deeply intuitive, it also plays an important role in our mathematical descriptions of physical systems. For instance, we define an object’s speed as its displacement per a given time. But some researchers theorize that this Newtonian idea of time as an absolute quantity that flows on its own, along with the idea that time is the fourth dimension of spacetime, are incorrect. They propose to replace these concepts of time with a view that corresponds more accurately to the physical world: time as a measure of the numerical order of change." "They begin by explaining how we usually assume that time is an absolute physical quantity that plays the role of the independent variable (time, t, is often the x-axis on graphs that show the evolution of a physical system). But, as they note, we never really measure t. What we do measure is an object’s frequency, speed, etc. In other words, what experimentally exists are the motion of an object and the tick of a clock, and we compare the object’s motion to the tick of a clock to measure the object’s frequency, speed, etc. By itself, t has only a mathematical value, and no primary physical existence." "Finally, the researchers explain that this view of time does not look encouraging for time travelers." Exactly as I see it - I would simply add the fact, that flow of time is determined by the rate at which all processes take place within a given frame. But that's not all. It seems also, that I'm not the first one, who got the idea of scale being the actual 4'th dimension in physical and measurable space. https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Scale_dimension And that frames are relative to eachother in dimensional scale: https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Scale_dimension#Scale_relativity "Latter can be understood as a slowing of speed of time of similar processes. For example, the larger-sized objects, the longer it takes them one revolution around its axis of rotation, longer lasting other typical processes." So in the end, it turns out, that the only innovation, which I make, is to describe the time as frequency of events - what allows me to smoothly connect the flow time with the scale dimension. It looks, like a small detail, but such improvement makes it possible to visualise the flow of time and to operate on it in dimensional (physical) space. For example, we can use this model, to see, how the lenght contraction corresponds with time dilation, when frame is being accelerated to c - "compression" of lenght, affects the frequency rate, thus changes the flow of time. I can make a 3D presentation, if you want... Edited April 4, 2018 by JohnMnemonic

Quote But, you are right, it is not a very original idea. And yet, you treated it from the beginning, as a total pseudo-scientific heresy... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_relativity "Fractal space-time[edit] If Einstein showed that space-time was curved, Nottale shows that it is not only curved, but also fractal. Nottale has proven a key theorem which shows that a space which is continuous and non-differentiable is necessarily fractal.[17] It means that such a space depends on scale. Importantly, the theory does not merely describe fractal objects in a given space. Instead, it is space itself which is fractal. To understand what a fractal space means requires to study not just fractal curves, but also fractal surfaces, fractal volumes, etc. Mathematically, a fractal space-time is defined as a nondifferentiable generalization of Riemannian geometry.[18][19] Such a fractal space-time geometry is the natural choice to develop this new principle of relativity, in the same way that curved geometries were needed to develop Einstein's theory of general relativity.[20] In the same way that general relativistic effects are not felt in a typical human life, the most radical effects of the fractality of spacetime appear only at the extreme limits of scales: micro scales or at cosmological scales. This approach therefore proposes to bridge not only the quantum and the classical, but also the classical and the cosmological, with fractal to non-fractal transitions (see Fig. 1). More plots of this transition can be seen in the literature.[21][22]" "DISCRETE SCALE RELATIVITY" https://arxiv.org/ftp/physics/papers/0701/0701132.pdf Maybe my idea is not that original, but I'm just an amateur and this paper was published in 2007, so I'm not too far behind the modern science. It's funny however, that no one here, besides me, didn't even consider such idea, as science. All, what you can do now, my dear scientists, is to pretend, that you knew about it all along and that I was talking here about obvious things... Well, I said in the beginning, that my concept is something absolutely obvious... Edited April 4, 2018 by JohnMnemonic

[math]y = \sqrt x [/math] is a function, which is indeed not differentiable at x=0 because it is not defined for x<0 It is functions, not spaces that are differentiable or not. Stating that a space is or is not differentiable has no meaning, which is why I asked what you mean by such a statement.

JohnMnemonic Posted April 4, 2018 Author Posted April 4, 2018 (edited) Quote Peer review weeds out the obviously wrong. It doesn't mean a hypothetical model is correct. It doesn't mean also, that it is incorrect. Each concept, which became mainstream at some point, was in the beginninig just an alternative theory. If there wouldn't be no alternative science, there wouldn't be no innovation. Scientists should consider all possible explanations, as long, as they are not incorrect from scientific point of view (contradicted by observation for example). As long, as a model remains theoretical, it can be replaced with a different theory. In the end, everything what matters, is how a theory can be adapted to science which is already settled and confirmed in laboratories... Concept, which I wanted to present in this thread, defines only the dimensional space and the flow of time. To use it in practice, model would need to describe, how dimensional scale is related to energy/mass distribution in space. It is for me obvious, that in order to keep all the proportions in scaled frame, object has to maintain it's density and the level of energy, which is "stored" in matter. In theoretical empty (or non-material) space, mechanism of non-material clock has no mass or density, but those properties have to be taken into account, when we want to describe observable reality. We can't scale a human observer, without reducing his (her) mass - we can't for example fit 4 liters of blood in a smurf. Also the velocity of moving object has to remain proportional to it's size - until now, this model discussed scenarios, which didn't include the difference of energy/velocity in scale, but in real life it has to. Decrease of the object's mass, has to be proportional to the loss of kinetic energy (motion/momentum). If we scale a frame, where an object is moving through a given distance, we need to keep the proportion, between the distance and the velocity - otherwise, observer will be able to notice, that after the frame was scaled, he passes the same distance at different time (and in theory, observer shouldn't be able to notice any difference in proportionally scaled frame). But this is generally, much more complex subject and requires much more detailed explanation. For now, I just wanted to define the dimensional environment, in which we can place physical matter, with all it's properties and forces, which are connected with it...
