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

[Doug Marett]

Hi Mr. Serret,

     I personally think there may be a problem with the relativistic theory
of time. This is because it leads to a number of paradoxes, for example:

1) an individual standing on the earth would have time progressing faster
at his head than his feet (due to gravitational time dilation). How can a
physical object be in two time frames? When blood flows in your body, does
it move from the past to the future and vise versa? Seems logically
preposterous.

2) If the same argument is applied to a mountain that has stood for
millions of years, gravitational time dilation says that the top of the
mountain should be in the future by now as compared to its base by several
minutes. If one walks to the top of the mountain, have you walked into the
future? If I look with a telescope to a clock at the base, the time tells
me I am still in my original "present". If the top and bottom of a mountain
share the same present, then what we observe with dilations in cesium
clocks can't be a real difference in time, but simply a difference in clock
readings.

3) If you look  at the results of the Hafele and Keating experiment,
whether a clock increases in time rate with motion or decreases depends on
the direction you are traveling around the earth, which directly
contradicts Einstein's predictions. In fact, the only way to reconcile the
contradiction was to resort to the theory of Builder (as Hafele and Keating
do) where absolute times and velocities are real.

4) If two observers at different altitudes use the rotation of the earth
with respect to a fixed point in space as a time base rather than cesium
clocks, they have no choice but to agree that they are counting the same
rate of time, in contradiction to their cesium clocks. If it is possible to
create a clock in this manner that is apparently immune to time dilation,
then what are we measuring with the cesium clocks? We need to be sure that
we are not being fooled into believing that time dilation is real just
because two clock readings don't agree.

Just throwing that out there,  as they say, nothing in science seems to die
from a contradiction : )
