    Relativistic time dilation

    Good points — and you're absolutely right that modern clocks can measure these effects with remarkable precision. One small but important clarification: in both General Relativity and the framework I’m working on (Unified Temporal Gradient Theory), it’s not the local gravitational acceleration...

    Relativistic time dilation

    Thanks — I really appreciate your interest. I haven’t generated a graph yet, but the comparison is straightforward using the field equation I shared. The UTG prediction inside the mass tracks cumulative mass (not escape velocity), and aligns with GRT at the surface. As for the full theory —...

    Relativistic time dilation

    As a side note — this is part of a full formal framework I’ve been developing (Unified Temporal Gradient Theory), which is currently under peer review. It addresses this and several other open questions in gravitational and quantum physics. If you’d like, I can share the current version.

    Relativistic time dilation

    Great questions — I’ll clarify: 1️⃣ Surface time dilation: Yes, the UTG equation produces the exact same result as GRT at the surface of the mass — matching the Schwarzschild solution: T_surface = sqrt(1 - 2GM / (R c²)) This is fully consistent; UTG is constructed to match established GRT...

    Relativistic time dilation

    Here’s the core idea: in the UTG framework, the temporal field T(r) inside a mass is computed based on the cumulative mass enclosed at each radius. I can show you the equation — it makes very clear why time dilation continues increasing toward the center, independently of force. For a uniform...

    Relativistic time dilation

    Very sharp observations — I’ve come to similar conclusions. The equivalence with escape velocity at the surface is not accidental; it reflects the local gradient of time flow. Treating time itself as an active field (rather than invoking "flowing space") resolves this neatly. As for the...

    Relativistic time dilation

    I've been exploring an alternative way of looking at time dilation that treats it as a physical field effect, not just a coordinate artifact. The idea is that time flows as a real field in the universe, with a characteristic speed (like the speed of light in vacuum). When an object gains kinetic...
