Light clock thought experiment revisited
1. material clock dimensions unchanging
2. distance between mirrors unchanging
3. time taken to travel that distance unchanging
4. The tick of the material clock, unseen, is not relative.
5. Emr actually traveling between mirrors is not what is seen.
6. For vision to occur the Emr must enter the eye, stimulate the retina, generating impulses sent to the brain.
7. Emr scattered from the beam is received and processed into a relative perception of the beam, a seen light beam.
8. The seen light beam is observer generated in a virtual space time product, not a part of the existential external environment.
9. Translation distance estimation depends upon observer's comparative state of motion
10. Taking account of translation gives a greater distance traveled by the seen light beam. Diagonal path.
11. To travel greater perceived distance at the same speed (of light) in the same time, calculated (pythagoras theorem) time must slow down.
12. Result = Different time for different observer relative motion. Non simultaneity of same events perceived differently.
13. (5) The perceived light beam is not the Emr traveling between the mirrors.
14. Perception does not affect the working of the material clock
15. There should be no enduring alteration registered by the material clock due to translation. Its timekeeping ought to be unaffected.
16. Clocks on planes experiments show there is an effect upon the material clock. That there is enduring alteration registered by the material clock when translated, indicates another cause rather than Special relativity.
17. Actual rather than just perceived slowing could be due to passing through more base content filling space (hypothesis) More at lower altitude (rather than just gravity) and more encountered with actual translation.
18. Experiments The effect of translation on atomic clocks could be investigated by using aircraft travelling at different velocities but same route and altitude for the same time as measured by standardized onboard clock used for all flights.
19. Effect of vibration and other disturbance could be investigated by comparison with a control clock subject to the same vibration and disturbance but not translated.
20. This differentiation of the existential from perceived phenomena (due to Emr signal receipt) is relevant to the paradoxes of Relativity.
