[Physics] Arguments for or against the variable time (of Relativity)

[Hans van Leunen]

Dear Mr Serret,

 

First the notion of time itself must be cleared. Contemporary physics
applies two notions of time: coordinate time and proper time. Coordinate
time is our common notion of time, but that choice causes a spacetime
structure with a Minkowski signature. This selection must be separated from
the fact that nature does not allow speeds faster than the speed of
information transfer. That subject is treated by Lorentz transforms.     

So what is it that you want to discuss, the concept of time or the results
of Lorentz transforms?

The treatise of the concept of time goes to the foundation of reality. The
Lorentz transform is a pure mathematical concept.

 

It is possible to create a mathematical model of reality that can be
formulated in a few lines. The mathematical model applies a Euclidean
signature of the space-progression structure.

Progression corresponds to the proper time concept.

The model starts with its foundation, which is taken to be an orthomodular
lattice (the discoverers of this lattice called it "quantum logic"). 
The set of closed subspaces of a separable Hilbert space forms a realization
of this lattice. 

The elements of an orthonormal base of this Hilbert space represent the
atoms of the lattice. 

Hilbert spaces can only cope with division rings. These are number systems
of which every non-zero element owns a unique inverse. I choose the
quaternions as the number system. 

The rational quaternions can be used to enumerate the members of a selected
orthonormal base. A special reference operator can be defined that uses the
members of the selected orthonormal base as eigenvectors and the enumerators
as the corresponding eigenvalues. 

The next step involves the definition of a subspace that is spanned by the
eigenvectors that belong to eigenvalues that share the same real part. We
interpret this real part as progression and the imaginary part as spatial
location.

PROGRESSION IS A REAL NUMBER VALUED SCALAR THAT PLAYS THE ROLE OF PHYSICAL
TIME.

Now let the progression value increase. Consequently, the created subspace
scans as a vane over the Hilbert space and divides it in a historic part, a
static status quo (the vane), and a future part. 

All discrete objects in universe appear to be modules or modular systems.
Elementary modules exist that are not configured from other modules. 

In the model, the elementary modules are represented by one-dimensional
subspaces and a special operator provides them with a spatial location. That
operator uses a stochastic process to generate the location. 

Thus, the elementary module hops in a hopping path. After a while the
landing locations of the hops have formed a (coherent) location swarm. The
swarm owns a location density distribution. Both the hopping path and the
location swarm represent the elementary module. The location density
distribution corresponds to the squared modulus of the wave function of the
elementary module.

The modules are interpreted as observers. The observers travel with the
vane. With these ingredients, the model offers two different views. One is
the creator's view. The other view is the observer's view. 

The creator can view the model independent of the value of progression.
In the creator's view the observers follow a zigzag life path that at some
instants reflect against the vane, where observers can interpret the
incident as a pair creation or as a pair annihilation.

This simple model throws a different light on how the universe can be
structured. The model is more extensively treated in "The Hilbert Book Test
Model";

In order to comprehend the model, you must comprehend lattice theory,
Hilbert spaces and number systems.

 

Sincerely yours,

Hans van Leunen,

Would you be interested to discuss the arguments about the variable time of
Relativity ?
