The Reality of Relativity: Time and Space |
To the top |
The Nature of Time and Space, and dilatation of Time are described here on the basis of facts. The examples of the Reality of Relativity and dynamics of changing of Time and Space are presented here. Many facts varify that the Universal Time exists parallely with the Individual Time. Numerous experimental results indicate that increased input of calories, stress, different diseases, genetic disorders etc, shorten the individual lifespan of living beings. Progeria disease proves the reality of the accelerated individual ageing without impact of the Universal Time. Dynamics of flow of the Individual Time in different periods of lifespan, moment of the beginning of life and individual dinamics of ageing of people are explained.
Keywords: Relativity, Time, dilatation, acceleration, Space, ageing, lifespan.
Through many centuries, scientists have explained the variety of natural phenomena and laws which control these phenomena, but the explanation of the nature of Time and Space is still missing (1-5). J. Bell has suggested that the key of solution is in the different understanding of the nature of Time (1).
This manuscript describes interdisciplinary facts which varify the Reality of Relativity of Time and indicate the existence of the Individual Time paralelly with the Universal Time.
The expression "Time" is used to indicate the series of changes of any physical characteristic of the Matter. The changes can be observed through consequences: changes of the position, velocity, direction, electric charge, impulse, mass, … ! The consequences of changes create our notion of Time. Time (as well as color) is not characteristic of the physical world than only the psychological impression caused with physical causes!
The series of changes is irreversible because every new changes increases the series of the former changes for one more and it always occurs after the last changes. This is why Time in the Physical Reality has only one direction! If the changes are more frequent, Time runs faster.
The changes of the physical characteristics of the Matter occur on two levels:
1. The Universal Time
In all the nucleons of the entire universe, resulting in gravitation and strong nuclear forces. Autonomous, constantly repeating changes occur separately in each nucleon, in all nucleons since their creation, not depending on the events outside the nucleons. Therefore, these changes represent at the same time both: the Individual Time of the nucleon and the Universal Time - Time of the Universe. Because of the constant flow of the Universal Time, the Universe constantly changes. (Continuation in the Nature of Matter - in the preparation).
2. The Individual Time
Outside the nucleons, that is in individual units of an inanimate matter and in living beings, the changes occur in :
- atoms : absorption and emission of photons, radioactive decays, …
- molecules : chemical reactions, …
- cells, organs and organisms of living beings : metabolic processes, …
Individual changes of physical characteristics have different frequencies of occurrence (chemical reactions, radioactive decays, metabolic processes, …), they strictly occur individually although more units, either of the same or different kind, can be involved in these changes. This is why the units of an inanimate matter and living beings have their own Individual Time which is parallel to the Universal Time!
Dynamics of the metabolic processes inside living beings determines the dynamics of their Individual Time flow, which is observed through the changes affecting them, which are called "the ageing process". A young plant is always different from the old one, newborns from their parents, although the nucleons in their bodies are equally old. Newborn children are even today born as young as in Times of Noah or Abraham although the nucleons in their bodies are several thousand of Earth years older.
A number of research on animals and people have shown that reduced intake of calories has a favourable effect on health and extended lifespan, and vice versa (6-24). Fat people are more likely to become ill earlier from diseases which are associated with the ageing process and are more likely to die earlier (18-24). Persons exposed to stress tend to become ill more frequently and age quicker than persons with normal metabolism (25-29). Ultra-violet rays can cause skin cancer and changes on the skin which are typical for ageing processes (30-31). UV rays accelerate the Individual Time of the skin!
Progeria disease proves the reality of the accelerated individual ageing, the acceleration of flow of the Individual Time (32). The Universal Time does not influence on the Individual Time and vice versa!
Metabolism of animals who hibernate is much slower during the hibernation period than in summer months, so their Individual Time slows down during the hibernation. Tree rings show that metabolism is slower during the winter rest than in other seasons, so during the winter the Individual Time of trees also slows down.
In an inanimate matter, for example the crystal of a diamond, after its formation, the existing physical characteristics of the crystal will not change till the next event of change, which may occur after thousands of Earth years. During this time the crystal of a diamond does not change, its Individual Time is dilated, although the crystal takes part in the Universal Time with its nucleons.
These are only some of numerous examples of the reality of Time relativity in our Physical Reality.
A2. Technology of fast and efficient reduction of chlorine:
A2.1. The automatic activation of appliance in case of uncontrolled leaking of chlorine in warehouses and chloral stations. Without "ageing" of chemicals, this procedure is much faster and safer for people and the environment in comparison to the current procedure, absorption of chlorine in the solution for reduction of chlorine.
A2.2. In hyperchlorinated water for disinfection of water-pipes and tanks. A special characteristic of this solution is care for the environment because dechlorinated water can be let out directly into water currents. The technology has been applied several times in commercial practice without any harmful impact on the environment.
