This is a blog that takes the name of my magnum opus on scientific philosophy called "The Scientific Worldview." Reviewers have called it “revolutionary,” “exhilarating,” “magnificent,” “fascinating,” and even “a breathtaking synthesis of all understanding.” There is very little math in it, no religion, no politics, no psycho-babble, and no BS. It provides the first outline of the philosophical perspective that will develop during the last half of the Industrial-Social Revolution.

[FAQ] Why can't people post comments on my blog?
The Blogger / Google login status, and the ability to post comments, is sensitive to both cookie and script filters. Your readers may need to enable (stop filtering) "third party cookies", in their browser and on their computer. The effects of the newly unavoidable CAPTCHA, and the Google "One account" login, requires third party cookies, even more than before.

Third party cookies filtering, in a browser setting, is the most common solution, overall - but your readers may have to search for other filter(s) that affect their use of Blogger / Google.
Any filters are subject to update, by the creator. If the problem started a few days ago, your readers may have to look on their computers, and find out what product or accessory was updated, a few days ago.

Having trouble following GC here.
ReplyDeleteThe observer effect is only a factor when physically measuring a physical system, not when "thinking" about it.
But, yes GPS shows us that both gravity and motion,(two related things, anyway)do affect physical mechanisms such as time clocks which include atomic oscillations. They do slow compared to the Earth station.
Is GC saying they do not slow?
Bligh:

Ron almost invented GPS, so he should know. Of course, the internal motions of clocks are influenced by their environments. One example is the hour glass, which takes more than an hour at high altitudes because it depends on gravity. In out space, the hour glass would hardly work at all. None of this has to do with relativity or "time dilation," which is only used when c is assumed to be constant, which it is not.
Maybe you are referring to the "gravitational redshift," which occurs when the velocity of light increases as it leaves its source.
Hi Glenn, I read the article 'Zeno effect' verified: Atoms won't move while you watch. So, my question is: is an atom an atom than? It seems like the situation that a coach has stopped which can be verified but the passengers, behind the blind windows, can't be seen and are moving around? I know that small entities are used in physics, I read '(....).000000001 degree above absolute zero.' Another question arises: what does that mean, being nearby absolute zero? I once studiead the Carnot cycle to get some idea what temperature is and the explanantion why absolute zero was introduced. But, still, I do not know what temperature is. I then read in the cited article: Temperature is a measure of a particle’s motion. Hence,
ReplyDeleteI can use the field of thermometry to measure the speed of my car or when I walk? How then, do I known that p.e. 45 degrees above corresponds in a unique way to some velocity?
