Using standard English words as they apply to       physics, the "time-rate" is the same in every locally inertial frame --       it never "changes".               [It is best to avoid such wishy-washy phrases as "time        rate". Talk instead about definite, unambiguous, and        directly measurable quantities such as clock tick rates.]              Einstein's first postulate, solidly confirmed experimentally, implies       that clocks always tick at their usual (standard) rate, regardless of       where they are located or how they might be moving (because the laws of       physics that govern their ticking are the same). Since "Time is what       clocks measure [Einstein and others]", this also applies to "time rate".              The rest of your article is useless because it fails to recognize this       very basic and fundamental aspect of relativity.              Tom Roberts              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
