Gravity and Time.
Consider three clocks. Clocks 1 and 2 are mounted on a rotating disk, with clock 1 exactly at the centre, and clock 2 fixed on the rim, and clock 3 is sitting at rest with respect to the centre of the disk. Note that the disk exerts a force on clock 2 which forces it to follow a circular path; since, without this force, clock 2 would move in a straight line, it is clear that the force and the resultant acceleration are both directed towards the centre of the disk. Clocks 1 and 3 are not moving relative to one another (there is some rotation involved, but their relative position in space does not change with time); thus, as far as Special Relativity is concerned, they keep the same time. However, clock 2 is moving with respect to clock 3; thus clock 2 is running slow as seen by clock 3. Since clocks 1 and 3 keep the same time, this means that clock 2 runs slow compared to clock 1, even though clocks 1 and 2 have no relative translatory motion. (Note that, since clock 2 is not in an inertial frame, Special Relativity does not make any statement about its timekeeping - this is a new effect) . Finally, consider a clock situated on the disk somewhere between clocks 1 and 2; the acceleration of such a clock is less than that of clock 2, and since it is also moving more slowly than clock 2, it is running less slowly.

General Theory of Relativity
Click here to go to the UPSCALE home page. Click here to go to the Physics Virtual Bookshelf. Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity of 1905 concerns itself with observers who are in uniform relative motion. His General Theory of Relativity of 1916 considers observers in any state of relative motion including acceleration. It will turn out that this will also be a theory of gravitation. This document introduces the General Theory of Relativity.
Three "Easy" Pieces
Einstein used three different pieces to built the General Theory of Relativity, which we describe here.
Piece 1 - Geometry is Physics
Consider the figure to the right, which shows a distant star, the Sun, and the Earth. Clearly the figure is not drawn to scale. There is a straight dotted line connecting the star and the Earth. Imagine a light ray that leaves the star along the dotted line: it is headed directly for the Earth. However, we know that E = m c . And since the light that left the star has energy, we now know that it also has a mass. And all masses are attracted gravitationally by all other masses. So the light energy that left the star along the dotted line will be attracted gravitationally by the mass of the sun, which will cause its path to be deflected as shown. Thus that light ray from the star does not reach the Earth.

This is an alternate cosmology not based on general relativity.

Cosmology - The science or theory of the universe as an ordered whole, and of the general laws which govern it. Also, a particular account or system of the universe and its laws. - Oxford English Dictionary This site was developed to share a different cosmology with people who are interested. We are in a golden age of astronomy and cosmology. New observations and data about the universe are coming in at a fast rate. This is an exciting time for Astronomical science. Recently cosmologists have given us a new force in nature that acts like anti-gravity of which Einstein felt that this line of reasoning was the biggest blunder of his life. The underlying cause for this new updated cosmological constant is dark energy. Dark energy seems to act on the universe differently in different cosmic eras. To me the idea of dark energy indicates a weakness in big bang cosmology. It would be more desirable to have a simpler cosmology where the fundamental interactions do not vary as our universe evolves. The premise of this new cosmology is based on the idea that space itself is not the cause of our expanding universe, it is the expansion of time itself that is the cause. While on the surface this distinction might seem nonsensical or trivial to some readers, but I believe it can be tested through experiments* mentioned in the STR link above.

Abstract :
If Special Relativity is formulated within the framework of Aristotle space-time and if the relativistic boost invariance of any phenomenon which satisfies this symmetry is interpreted as an intrinsic property of this phenomenon rather than a very property of space-time itself, Special Relativity is compatible with possible causal links between space-like separated events, with a realistic interpretation of the wave function and with an interpretation of Alain Aspect experiment [1], [2] as an action at a distance.

Is the Special Theory of Relativity Wrong?
Author: Greg Alexander
Date: 17 Sept 2003
These days it would appear that the Special Theory of Relativity was beyond any form of doubt however I have a theoretical proof that would strongly suggest that the theory is fundamentally flawed. Indeed the proof is so straight forward it is a wonder so many supposedly acute minds have previously overlooked it. The proof runs as follows :
Q.E.D.
The origin of this scientific red herring lies with the famous (though some may perhaps argue infamous) Michelson-Morley experiment. It was conducted by the two Americans whom it was named after in 1887 in order to prove or disprove the existence of ‘aether’, the enigmatic substance thought to be contained in a vacuum upon which a light wave was able to move upon. The apparatus consisted of two beams of light meeting at right angles at an interferometer. If the Earth’s speed effected either of the velocities of the light beams then the interference pattern obtained would change. However it was found that the speed of the Earth about the Sun did not appear to effect the interference pattern in any way and it was upon this observation that Einstein based his Special Theory of Relativity.
However just the briefest look at the exact set-up of the apparatus used by Michelson and Morley clearly reveals that the experiment could never have worked anyway. Indeed the logic supporting it is so flawed it is a wonder that no-one appears to have ever noticed. The two light beams which meet at the interferometer first travel away from it and at equal distances are reflected back again to the same half-silvered glass it started from. However because each light beam exactly doubles back on itself each time, it is obvious what the light beam would have gained as a result of the Earth’s velocity in one direction, it would exactly lose on the way back again in the opposite direction, and vice versa. Indeed the experiment would never have proved or disproved the existence of the aether either.

The General Relativity group is led by Professor Graham Hall and there are normally several visiting relativists during the session. Dr John Pulham supports the research in the areas of computer algebra and differential geometry. This group has had a sequence of outstandingly able research students and several postdoctoral fellows in recent years. At present three PhD students are part of the group. A Scottish Universities Summer School in General Relativity was organised by this research group in 1995. One (possibly two) postdoctoral fellows are expected in 2002. Professor Graham Hall , in an invited address to the 13th International Conference on General Relativity and Gravitation in Argentina in June 1992, detailed a research programme for a systematic study of ``symmetry'' in general relativity. This was extended in several invited plenary talks in Europe and North America since then and details will be in Hall's forthcoming book. The essential meaning of symmetry here lies in the existence of families of local diffeomorphisms defined for each point of a space-time, generally arising from a vector field, and preserving some geometric or physical structure. The prototype is metric symmetry, but the study extends to homotheties, affine collineations, conformal and projective symmetries and Ricci, matter and curvature collineations. The most important new tools used are the systematic application of holonomy groups and fixed point theory.

1.0 Introduction
[More about relativity] Einstein's Special theory of Relativity is fundamental to physics and yet there seems to be a lack of work that addresses the question "What kind of universe would behave like that?".
This article addresses that question and begins to work toward expanding our interpretation of relativity by pursuing a basic model in which relativistic phenomena can be seen to occur as a natural consequence of the model instead of appearing as paradoxical corrections applied to a classical wold. 1.1 Rationale
Special Relativity provides a powerful set of mathematical relationships but translating its effects into everyday thought is problematic It turns out that the classical world view of objects existing in three dimensional space changing and moving within a universal time is an approximation that is fundamentally at odds with the underlying structure of reality described by Special and General Relativity. A primary reason is that the classical style models do not provide way to apprehend phenomena that propagate at the speed of light (i.e. Photons and fields)

Relativity Tutorial
Galilean Relativity
Relativity can be described using space-time diagrams . Contrary to popular opinion, Einstein did not invent relativity. Galileo preceded him. Aristotle had proposed that moving objects (on the Earth) had a natural tendency to slow down and stop. This is shown in the space-time diagram below.
Note the curved worldline above. This shows a variable velocity, or an acceleration . Galileo objected to Aristotle's hypothesis, and asked what happened to an object moving on a moving ship.
Now it is still moving in its final state. Galileo proposed that it is only relative velocities that matter. Thus a space-time diagram can be transformed by painting it on the side of a deck of cards, and then skewing the deck to one side but keeping the edges along a straight line:
Straight worldlines (unaccelerated particles) remain straight in this process. Thus Newton's First Law is preserved, and non-accelerated worldlines are special. This Galilean transformation does not affect the time. Thus two observers moving with respect to each other can still agree on the time, and thus the distance between two objects, which is the difference in their positions measured at equal times, can be defined. This allowed Newton to describe an inverse square law for gravity. But Galilean transformations do not preserve velocity. Thus the statement "The speed limit is 70 mph" does not make sense but don't try this in court. According to relativity, this must be re-expressed as "The magnitude of the relative velocity between your car and the pavement must be less than 70 mph". Relative velocities are OK.

How does the cosmological constant fit into general relativity?
Observations demonstrate that the Universe is homogenous and isotropic on the largest scales. This means that the there is no unique center or direction in the universe. In general relativity the shape of space-time is described by a "metric" equation. The general form of the metric equation that satisfies the conditions of homogeneity and isotropy in the universe is the Robertson-Walker metric:
The function f(x) describes the spatial geometry of the universe, it is parameterized by the curvature constant k:
For k < the spatial geometry of the universe is "open", for k = the universe is "flat", and for k > the universe is "closed".
The coordinates x , and in the metric equation are "comoving" coordinates. A comoving coordinate system is one which expands with the universe. Therefore, the comoving distant between two point remains constant during the universe's evolution. The physical distance between two points does however change as the universe expands. It is the cosmic scale factor a which relates the comoving coordinates to physical distances, through the relation:

  • Introduction
E=mc² does not define the theory of Relativity. Nor does this page define everything. We started our work on this page in the naive idea that we could pick a few topics and study them, cut-and-dry. Talk about a rude awakening! IT'S ALL RELATED . To understand this, you have to know that , and to know that , you must have studied these . And so it goes. The image of this page has, therefore, changed a lot from our origional concept. We still have some main topics that we'll cover in depth, but there will be much more left untouched than what we can do. Our homepage would have to be called a 'homenovel' if we put it all in. So we ask that you explore this page with an open mind, and if we don't specifically cover your interests, keep searching. It's all fascinating, and well worth the search.
