It's (it is) about Time

Time: Cycles, Not a Dimension

Time is a concept, not a dimension—rooted in history before it got tangled in 4D spacetime. It’s about cycles matter runs through in space: day (Earth’s spin), year (Earth’s orbit), lifetime (life’s arc), even cesium’s 9,192,631,770 Hz per second (a day’s sliver). We track these because they’re reliable ratios—day to year, life to days—not because they’re fused. Stop Earth’s spin, and aging doesn’t halt—cycles aren’t chained.

Ok let's talk about time.
First let's address things that we can agree on.
Time was not always considered as a dimension. It was a concept.
Ok.
So why did people bothered to develop such concept.
Fundamental units of time are day and year.

Day is one cycle of earth rotation around it's axis.
Year is one cycle of earth rotation around the sun.
Why do we bother with noticing this cycles, because there is one more cycle than we are deeply connected and concerned about, that all religions touch on and some scientific beliefs. Life time. Or one cycle of life.
Cessium standard is 9192631770 Hz per second. One second is a fraction of a day.

We live around (not really) 100 years. Your days are counted people say.
So time is definitely about the cycles than mather goes through in space and their reliable ratio to each other, yet they are not connected dependent on each other. Stoping earth rotation around it's axis would not stop proces that is responsible for aging in our bodies.
You would not believe it, if someone would suggest that.
Yet, when it is suggested that you would age differently if you would travel at speed close to speed of light people believe it without questioning.

Time: Dimension or Just Cycles?
This model’s got guts—it doesn’t flinch. It’s after quantum physics and relativity, no apologies, and it’s got experiments to back the swagger. Let’s hit time first. Is it a dimension, like Einstein’s 4D spacetime, or just a concept—cycles matter ticks through? Your call: time’s not a dimension. It’s day (Earth’s spin), year (orbit), cesium oscillations—measurable loops, ratios of motion in 3D space. No mystical fourth axis. Bold? Sure. Testable? Absolutely.

Hafele-Keating Experiment: Time Dilation or Clock Quirks?
You know this one—1971, atomic clocks on planes, flying east and west, compared to one on the ground. Relativity says time dilates: fast movers tick slower, gravity shifts the pace. Clocks disagreed by nanoseconds, and they shouted “Einstein’s right!” But hold up—does it prove time bends, or is it just the clocks feeling the ride?

Here’s the snag: each clock’s cesium atoms faced different forces. Flying east? Centrifugal force piles on, stretching things out. West? It bucks against gravity, squeezing back. Ground? Steady as she goes. Could those forces—centrifugal and gravitational—tweak cesium’s oscillation frequency? If they nudge the vibe, the “time shift” might just be measurement error, not spacetime flexing. Fair question, right?

The Test
Let’s settle it. Repeat Hafele-Keating, but juice it up: grab multiple clock types—cesium, quartz, mechanical, whatever’s precise enough. Different guts, different sensitivities. Fly them east, west, park one on the ground, same as before. If time’s a dimension bending under speed and gravity, every clock—cesium or not—should show the same shift, tick for tick. Relativity wins, 4D holds.

But if your hunch is right—if it’s just forces messing with the mechanism—each clock reacts its own way. Cesium might drift one direction, mechanical another, quartz barely budges. Same trip, same conditions, wild mismatches. Time’s not dilating; the tools are just wobbling under pressure. Four dimensions? Toast.

Why It Matters
This isn’t nitpicking—it’s a wrecking ball. If clocks diverge, relativity’s time-as-dimension takes a hit, and your cycles-only view stands tall. Simple setup, brutal stakes. Reality picks the winner.

I have used grok for fact c
hecking and fine tuning of this post.
 
It’s day (Earth’s spin), year (orbit), cesium oscillations—measurable loops, ratios of motion in 3D space. No mystical fourth axis. Bold? Sure. Testable? Absolutely.
So, time doesn't exist on the Moon? Because Earth's rotation is immaterial there, right?

Did the astronauts not experience time there? They didn't age?

What about on Pluto? A. Centauri?

No time if Earth is too far away?

If time doesn't exist as a dimension, how do you explain relativistic time dilation?

I am currently typing this on a device that would not work if relativistic time dilation weren't a real phenomenon. The satellites that send our signals around the Earth are programming to account exactly for Einsteinian relativity. If they did not account for it, their clocks would get out of sync very quickly.

Does your idea account for this observed effect?

Me:
It is your claim not mine.
I have no idea how you have arrived to such conclusions.

Time is a concept that can be used to refer to anything, that it is relevant to.

Different cycles are used to qualify this concept.

I see you like time being a dimension. I do not share that believe with you.
Sorry.

You said time is rotations of Earth's day. How does that work on the Moon?

How do you determine how fast time passes on the Moon, if time is about rotations of Earth?

I see you like time being a dimension.
I'm not talking about beliefs.

I asked about relativistic time dilation. We have a theory that predicts what we observe. Does your idea predict relativistic time dilation?

I do not share that believe with you.
That's fine. You need merely explain your idea and how it explains phenomena we do observe.
 
You: "Does your idea account for this observed effect?"
Me:
Yes you have to take into account measurement error due to difference in forces affecting cesium oscillation frequency.

What measurement error? What forces?

If it were an error, why would we get the exact same results every time? That eliminates error.

Muons entering Earth's atmosphere at relativistic velocities live longer because of relativistic time dilation. Why would a Cesium clock have anything to do with that?
 
It looks like you purposely try to misinterpreted what I have said.


Time is a concept, not a dimension....
It’s about cycles matter runs through in space.

If you have trouble understanding that then I do not think I will be able to help
you.
 
You :

What measurement error? What forces?



Me:

It is explained.
centrifugal plus gravitational force ( opposite vector forces).

Ok. I have a feeling that you are bit to emotional about it.
Read it carefully. think it through and comeback with question that will reflect that.

Again I looks like you have no understanding of what I am suggesting.

If difference in forces acting on cessium is affecting its oscillation frequency as I am suggesting then measurement deviation (measurement error) will be consistent.

Perhaps you could do a better job of explaining your idea so readers dont have to guess.

What cycles other than Earth cycles?

Perhaps the trouble is not with me. I've asked you about how your idea explains relativistic time dilation. Do you have an answer to that?

That certainly true. Perhaps you could work on your idea until it's a little more robust than a suggestion.


If difference in forces acting on cessium is affecting its oscillation frequency as I am suggesting then measurement deviation (measurement error) will be consistent.
Again: what forces?
Again: what would that have ro so with time dilation as experienced by high speed muons entering the atmosphere?

If you don't have answers, that's OK. You can take as much time as you need to think through your idea a little more and get back to us.
 
You:

Me:
I think I explained it sufficiently.

Me:

Self-explanatory.
Any cycle that meets your criteria as to be used to measure time for you.
Meaning how many of this cycles you will observe to observe completion of one cycle that is of yours interest.

You:
Perhaps the trouble is not with me. I've asked you about how your idea explains relativistic time dilation. Do you have an answer to that?

Me:
I think I already did.

I would be interested in your prediction to proposed experiment. Probably you believe that all clocks regardless of mechanisms would show exactly same deviation.

Obviously I would bet against that.
 
I think we can agree to disagree. I don't find your question reasonable. I won't attempt to explain why yeti is x feet tall. Because I do not believe in yeti.
Beside I think if you would read carefully enough you would find answer to questions you have asked in my initial post.

So lets agree to disagree.

Not quite.

This is a discussion forum, and you have posted in the Alternative Theories subforum.

If this is just some musings of yours and not something you wish to discuss, let alone defend, then it doesn't belong here. I'll request it be moved to a more appropriate forum, such as Free Thoughts.

That way, you won't have to have it looked at too closely, and you won't be obliged to answer questions.

Дэйв, Гжегож имеет в виду, что из-за изменения гравитации и давления изменяется частота испускания атомов в самих часах. Тут если вникнуть поглубже, никакого 4-го измерения вообще нет как такового. Просто нужно найти основание Вселенной, если можно так выразится, относительно которого происходят все процессы. Некий абсолют. Но посколько всё движется, нет ничего статичного, то это выглядит немного проблемно.
 
Here’s the snag: each clock’s cesium atoms faced different forces. Flying east? Centrifugal force piles on, stretching things out. West? It bucks against gravity, squeezing back.
I will just address a couple of points. Firstly Einstein's theories have been tested and proven to be correct in all but a few extreme cases such as the Big Bang and black holes.
Time is malleable according to the amount of mass and energy in a given situation.
This been tested in many different ways not just atomic clocks.
Second, where Einstein's equations do not work is when attempts are made to quantise space time the same way Energy, angular momentum etc is in Quantum Mechanics.
Lastly, what time is exactly is an unanswered question in physics, is it actual thing? Or is it an emergent property like temperature? The jury is out.
Calling time "cycles" does not get you anywhere, if anything time is more like a line.
Have you ever time going back to itself? Has the earth ever spun the wrong way? Have you ever aged younger? Has the the universe ever contracted?
I would Google "Entropy," and also the "arrow of time."
The more curious question is, why time seems to go in one direction when the physics indicates no direction should be favourable.

Даже если вы уже миллион раз возвращались в прошлое, вы этого не поймёте. Время - это игра сознания.
