Is Time Variable When Light is Constant?

In summary, the conversation discusses the importance of grounding in basic physics and the concept of relativity in understanding the movement of objects. The idea that light is constant does not necessarily mean that time is variable, and there is a suggestion that what is seen may not always be the true empirical evidence. The conversation ends with a comment about the importance of being clear-headed when discussing scientific theories.

Yeah okay I have read father Janus and heeded to his judgment. The grounding of basic physics is a must and if you are looking for fact then it's best you look at other posts.

Considering that a person is moving, faster than another; One an only deduce through empirical evidence that as far as the law of relativity is concerned.. these objects are merely moving apart from one another. That one shall turn and move towards the other again is supposed to denote a change in relative time perspective or time speed, according to relativity theory.

That light is constant, does not mean that time has to be variable. If time were variable would light have to be constant? Consider for a moment that what you see, is not what you see... and that what you are judging your suppositions on is not the empirical evidence you believe it to be. Wonder for a moment that the light that is so constant, tricks you, and the star that appears to move in a straight line across the heavens really moves in a convex trajectory towards and away from our all seeing eyes.

That is all for now...

quit smoking pot before you write on these forums, your not only disagreeing with Einstein, but with Newton too. Velocity is a vector of speed and direction.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this topic. While I understand the concept of relativity and how it affects our perception of time and space, I do not agree that time is variable when light is constant. Time is a fundamental aspect of the universe and is measured by the movement of objects and events. Light, on the other hand, is a form of energy that travels at a constant speed. The fact that light is constant does not necessarily mean that time is variable.

Furthermore, while it is important to consider different perspectives and theories, it is also important to base our understanding on empirical evidence and scientific principles. The idea that what we see may not be what we think it is can be applied to many things, but it does not change the fundamental laws of physics.

In conclusion, while it is always beneficial to question and explore different ideas, it is important to also consider scientific evidence and principles when discussing topics such as time and light. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this matter.
 

Related to Is Time Variable When Light is Constant?

1. What is relative perspective?

Relative perspective is a way of understanding and interpreting the world based on an individual's personal experiences, beliefs, and cultural background. It recognizes that everyone's view of reality is unique and shaped by their own subjective perception.

2. How does relative perspective differ from absolute perspective?

Unlike absolute perspective, which assumes that there is one objective truth or reality, relative perspective acknowledges that there can be multiple truths and realities based on individual perspectives. It allows for a more nuanced and diverse understanding of the world.

3. How does relative perspective impact scientific research?

Relative perspective plays a significant role in shaping scientific research. It influences the questions that scientists ask, the methods they use, and the ways in which they interpret and communicate their findings. It is important for scientists to be aware of their own biases and perspectives when conducting research.

4. Can relative perspective be applied to all areas of science?

Yes, relative perspective can be applied to all areas of science. It is especially relevant in fields such as psychology, sociology, and anthropology, where understanding human behavior and culture requires an appreciation for different perspectives and experiences.

5. How can we incorporate relative perspective into scientific discussions?

To incorporate relative perspective into scientific discussions, we must actively listen to and consider different viewpoints and perspectives. It is important to recognize that there may be multiple valid interpretations of data and to approach discussions with an open mind and a willingness to learn from others' perspectives.
