The physics of time speed 1. Abstract: This homepage is dedicated to the elaboration & presentation of a theory of everything (TOE) based on two main concepts. The first one presents the speed of time as the basis for everything that exist. The second present a clear partition between our reality and the real universe we are trying to understand, in other words, the position of humankind in the universe. This second concept is extremely powerful in its consequences on everything we know, or think we know. Both concepts come from common knowledge, and among other things, the theory of relativity. Both are fairly heretic views. Finally I would like to be forgiven for throwing so many ideas in so few words; the development will come, and with your help, we may expect an incredible harvest in science, philosophy etc. 2. Modus operandi: Various concepts and ideas will be presented briefly without going into much details (!) at first. Each concept\section will bear a number to which one can refer in e-mails to me. Ideas within a section will also have a letter. Later expansion on each subject will bear the same integer and letter followed by a decimal number. All figures will be assigned the section number and a numeric decimal.One final suggestion; read all through at first, then come back on what bugs you as you may understand later in the text. For now, the address for e-mail is bt191@freenet.carleton.ca Other ways: Marcel-M. LeBel home: 613 744-4657 work: 613 993-8645 3. Introduction: The concept of time speed came up after trying for 25 years to understand gravitation. Understanding gravitation in so simple terms as with the concept of time speed (January 98), forced me to go back on the basis of science itself,the observer and his reality. In the following series of texts\sections , I will try to present in the clearest and simplest possible way, those two concepts mentionned above, and apply them at explaining various physical phenomena. First, I will present evidence of the speed of time, as well as reasons for it to have been overlooked for so long. Secondly, I will explain the partition between our reality and the real universe, and in doing so, set a definitive causal relationship between what we experience and what is. From there I will apply the concept of time speed to specific problems of modern physics. In most cases, I will try to provide an illustration, for most of the process aims at giving an intuitive visual representation matching what is actually known of these phenomena with the help of these two concepts. 4. The existence of time speed In a gravitational field, it has been theorized and proven by the theory of relativity that time slows down. Therefore, if you place a series of clocks vertically in the gravitational field above the earth, they will beat slower, if close to the surface, and beat faster away from earth(4.a). From that, one can infer that there is a time speed gradient in a gravitational field.(4.b) >>>>>>>>>>>> fig 4.1 earth gravitational field and time speed gradient 5. Gravitation at work From there it is easy to understand how gravitation works. If a particle position cloud of probability is placed in a time speed gradient, the probability will always be greater of finding it where time runs slower (5.a); the center of mass will follow this "force" causing the object to fall(5.b). 6. Our reality Here I will show that time and space as we know them mean nothing to the universe.(6.a) Let's start with time, the duration, the static measure. We stop time on paper, in equation, on stop watches, in a millions of ways; yet, the reality is that NOBODY ever stopped time. This time never stops, not for any measures, for nobody(6.b). But the flow of time is very real and measurable. The concept of time as a lenght has no meaning to the universe, and has only meaning for us(6.a). Now, space as a lenght. The fastest speed in the universe is said to be that of light. This means that we can't connect simultaneously two distinct points in space, even by a simple line. What do we do when we measure the distance between two points ? We do just that. We just assume simultaneity because of our position as "observers"(6.c). But if we were to be actors, like everything else in the universe, and take the place of one of the two points, we would see and understand right away that the other point is in fact away in time(6.d)! The concept of distance has no meaning to the universe, only to us, the conscious observers. Distance is typically a concept of observer, a third party. How do we think, see and calculate with the static measures of time and space ? Our brain does the integration to convert this dynamic universe into a metric reality(6.e) which is easy in macroscopic terms, but in the quantum world, we need equations to do it for us. Newton's mathematics of integration have humanized mathematics and comprehension by making accomplices the notions of time and space with the notions of time flow and motion, a link between our perception and concepts of a real dynamic universe.(6.f) This has led to the actual mathematical impass of the observer; a link he doesn't know about, exist throughout all his scientific knowledge, between his reality and the real universe he tries to understand(6.g). This shows that the real universe has no place for the observer and his perception of static dimensions; and, this is our reality(6.h) ! Most of what we know is about our experience of the universe, not about the universe itself(6.i). The real complexity is in our experience of the universe, as the universe itself is very simple. In other words, modern physics, our experience of the universe, may fit in a 500 pages book, but the real universe may take only 20 pages to describe(6.j)! The realisation of this, is the real conclusion of the theory of relativity; the theory of relativity only described the limits of our reality. "Relative" is just another word for "subjective"(6.k). This conclusion has for consequence a limit on our knowledge as well. Most of what we measure is not the universe. Most of what we expect has to have measures(6.l). All the laws of physics are description of "how" things happen, short of saying "why" they do happen(6.m). This is because of the metric approach of science that can only ask "how" and never "why", because any "why" answer would not be open to metric refutation, and time speed is such a dimensionless, much overlooked concept.(6.n) Any "why" found by intuition in the real universe runs the risk, once translated back into our reality's terms, of reverting back to another "how"(6.o). Intuition is in this respect, the way around the Copenhagen interpretation(6.p). Our reality is still, altough very complex, only a partial vision of the universe, or a special interpretation of it. We have to conclude that our reality is a subset of this real universe(6.q). This place a very precise causal relationship between what we experience, and what is happening in the real universe; the cause "Why" is in the real universe and the result "how" is our experience in our reality(6.r). A primitive transformation that can help understand our dimensions in the real dynamic universe is to divide by TIME, to give them a dynamic properpty e.g. E/S energy/second = power(6.s). >>>>>>>>>>>>fig 6.1 our reality, a subset of the real universe 7. Gravitation revisited. It was said earlier that gravitation caused the clocks to slow down. But, because our reality is a subset of the real universe, and because a time speed gradient is not something common to our reality(7.a), we have to conclude that time speed is in fact the cause, and "gravitation" is the result or, our experience of it. In other words, in the real universe, there is a time speed gradient around a mass that we experience as gravitation in our reality(7.b). fig 7.1 time speed and gravitation in subset 8. "Energy" from the concept of time speed Two masses at different heights in a gravitational field have different potential energy. We can infer that this potential energy reflects the different time speed prevailing at each of the locations of the two masses(8.a). Therefore we can represent what we call "energy" as a difference in time speed(8.b). As we will see later, "energy" is a static concept only proper to our reality(8.c). 9. The electromagnetic wave (EMW) The EMW is often referred to as pure energy. Let's try to represent the EMW as a wave of time speed variation. As in the gravitational field, we will need a difference in time speed, and it will move from higher time speed toward lower time speed(9.a). You fill the usual sine wave by higher time speed in the hump at the back(to the left), and lower time speed in the depression in the front(to the right). The absciss his the line of local time speed, that of the observer.It moves by itself in one direction as high time speed follows lower time speed. This sequence of low time speed and high time speed IS momentum(9.b). If you overlay the usual textbook representation of a radio wave, you see that the magnetic vector is where time speed varies(9.c), and the electric field is where variation of time speed changes direction(9.d). There would be an electrical coupling between the front end and back end of this electromagnetic-time speed wave(9.e). Contrary to our reality, here the electric field is closed (loop) and the magnetic vector is open (monopole)(9.f).In this I specify that the EMW is a perfect example of behavior in the real universe, as it is part of it(9.g). Actually the term "photon" is a concept or representation typical of our understanding in our reality. The nature of EMW is that of a wave. Mixing concepts of our reality and concepts of the real universe is common. Some well known equations are litterally upside down, because we have our reality on one side and the real universe on the other(9.h). The EMW can have four different "spins"( 4 x spin number 1); along a single line the EMW can have two choices of direction and two choices of polarization. Because polarization is an integral part of momentum and position, and therefore subject to the uncertainty principle, it cannot be used in experiment where values other than two angles of polarization at 90 degres are expected or measured(see Bell's causality/locality violation experiment). fig 9.1 sine wave time speed EMW fig 9.2 same with E & B 10. "Energy" of the EMW One thing that always seem to me to contradict intuition is the saying that a radio waves kilometers long has less energy than a light EMW a few angstroms long. With the concept of a dynamic real universe, and the knowledge of our integrating perception, it is easy to understand the real difference between the radio wave and the light wave; one takes much longer to deliver it's "energy" or momentum than the other(10.a). The real difference is in the RATE OF DELIVERY of this momentum(10b). It is actually believed here that all EMW have the exact same momentum ("energy"), but spreaded over a different time line (the wavelenght)(10.c). We may understand the EMW as a rate of delivery of momentum , and a receiver as a rate of receiving this momentum; both interact in what we call an oscillator(10.d). This is the best expression of how we see and interpret things in our reality, and how different they are from events in a dynamic real universe(10.e). As energy is a static concept, I can't accept it in the real universe(10.f); I will replace it by momentum(10.g). We will then describe all photons as having the same momentum, but spreaded over a different time line (wavelenght) (10.h), each representing a different rate of delivery of it's unit momentum "h" (10.i). 11. De Broglie wave We can also interpret the De Broglie associated wave with a time speed wave that accompany a particle in motion(11.a). It is understood that to get the relativity effect, the particle has to "ride" this wave, sitting in the front lower time speed part of the wave(11.b). This way, it's clock does beat slower, and the the difference in time speed between it and the observer causes the relativity predicted increase in mass(11.c) or, the slowing down of it's lifetime as in the decay of the muon. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> fig 11.1 moving particle in it's De Broglie wave 12. The electron Electron-positron pair annihilation produces two gamma rays of .51Mev. Where do those gamma rays come from ? From the electron. The electron will now be presented as a curled up gamma ray(12.a). Imagine this gamma ray curled up in two, with it's nodes on the axis of motion(12.b). As such, it is two lumps of time speed, a lower and a higher time speed lump in opposite positions with respect to the axis of motion(12.c).First thing you notice is that IT HAS to spin because a higher time speed always runs after a lower time speed(12.d)(Actually it was presented earlier as the definition of momentum). If you look at the position of the magnetic vectors, you see that, by the rule of right hand, this structure, along with the possibility of inverting the nodes positions, can lead to four types of "electrons". Two positive with counterspins, and two negative with counterspins(12.e). To change the charge of the "electron", you either change the spin direction or change the position of the nodes(12.f). The De broglie wave has an electrical coupling between the front and back end of the wave(12.g) like the EM wave(9.3). When the electron is in movement, this coupling (+) goes from the back end of it's momentum wave to the electron (-) in the front end(12.h); this leaves one extra negative line sticking out at the back end(12.i) which gives the electron an asymetry that is revealed, as we know, in a perpendicular magnetic field were it causes the electron to turn on one side(12.j). Actually it is this extra negative line that stears the high time speed back end of the wave(12.k) and changes the direction of the momentum. This would work also for particles with a positive charge. This description is not final as electric and magnetic fields even as true concepts, actually represent more complex aspects of the speed of time(variation and changes of direction). >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> fig 12.1 one curled up gamma ray >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> fig 12.2 four different electrons >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> fig 12.3 electron in momentum wave 13. Electron-positron pair annihilation From discussions of the previous sections, we can come up with a plausible scenario for pair annihilation. When electron and positron meet, many processes happen. First their environement. The two De Broglie associated waves cancel each other as two momentum of opposite direction(13.a). Their different speed of approach will become one and the same as the opposite electric charges attraction will even their difference(13.b), permitting an exact associated waves cancellation(13.c). Then, The two curled up gamma rays will mix in one short lived entity(13.d), just to emerge as opposite going linear gamma rays(13.e). We may expect some sort of delay in this short life of mixing in the event where the two particles meet with same spins as seen face to face, because they both have angular momentum in the same direction(13.f) This going from angular (our material reality) to linear (real universe) with 2Pi is conveniently placed in most quantum equations(13.g) >>>>> fig 13.1 two particles meeting with De Broglie waves >>>>> fig 13.2 mixing state >>>>> fig 13.3 two gamma emerge 14. Muon creation and decay This scenario uses the curled up gamma "electron" and the associated De Broglie wave as presented above. First, the muon creation; charges will be left out as it would apply equally to negative or positive muons(14.a). In this scenario, the electron acquires very rapidly a speed near that of light as in a collision; the De Broglie wavelenght is now the same as that of the curled up gamma ray (the electron) which find itself squeezed in, in it's lower time speed front end of the wave(14.b). There, the momentum of the De Broglie wave is caught in the spin of the electron and the two different time speed lumps are now spinning around the electron, in opposite positions with respect to the axis of spin, and motion(14.c). This electron coated with this extra momentum is the muon. The extra mass (207Me) is the relativity effect of the extra momentum/time speed around the electron(14.d). Muon decay. 1.5 X 10^6 second after, the muon decays, and the two extra lumps of time speed, one low and one high speed, are ejected in opposite directions(14.e). Because these lumps are one, just high time speed and the other, just low time speed, they do not cross the local time speed base line, and therefore they do not/cannot interact with anything(14.f). These are the two different neutrinos produced in muon decay(14.g). At this time I have no idea if the decay time relates to the partial exhaustion of the two extra time speed lumps(14.h) i.e. I don't "know" if the two neutrinos carry each half of the total momentum from the original De Broglie wave(14.i). >>>>>> fig 14.1 electron squeezed in De broglie wave >>>>> fig 14.2 the muon >>>>> fig 14.3 muon decay ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Development/comments section 9.g.1 equation upside down One such equation is that representing the lifetime of an unstable particle from the uncertainty principle(9.g.1.a). h/2Pi read: unit angular momentum T = ----- ---------------------- = T = mean Half lifetime E energy Strangely, to give meaning to this in the real universe I would look for an equation like the following; after inverting the equation and then by dividing by "second" on one side of the equation(9.1.g.b) : E/S read: power 1 ------ = ------------- = --- = Frequency of h/2pi*S unit angular energy T resonance This is more meaningfull because time as a lenght has no dimension in the real universe; T * S^-1 = 1 (9.1.g.c) . Note how 2Pi is used to adapt h to a concept of the real universe. (7.b.1) Gravitation Everything being made of EM waves, the difference between the real universe and our material reality appears to be only the transformation between linear momentum and angular momentum of the time speed wave concept. So, in essence, the time speed gradient of gravitation appears under the angular momentum version of the universe. 98-03-27
