Convenience in Relativity.
Einstein like Mach believed that the concave surface in a bucket of spinning water was because of the relative motion of the cosmos. By relativity all observers are equally valid so the point of view that the universe is spinning when you spin a small wheel is equally valid to say that the wheel is spinning though not as convenient.
By relativity the relative motion of the two masses is all the counts. The problem is about changing force on the small wheel and this would presumably cause huge torsion forces on the universe as well as huge centrifugal force and motion faster than light relative to the wheel if both are equally valid.
Here convenience becomes of huge import because it's usually more convenient to say that by having more mass the universe has a more valid frame of reference relative to the wheel, or certainly we could say this is true as far as the concept of rest is important.
About relativity since the cause of the Lorentz contraction is not mechanical and only a given by the speed of light, there is no way to distinguish motion from non-motion.
There is no low energy Higgs' field with relativity and so the Lorentz contraction has no cause. (Einstein said if the low energy field is found relativity will be disproven.. but as I say on my other posts I believe Einstein was wrong because the dark energy and dark matter Fields May both cause centrifugal and centrifugal force and inertia but also change phase to be faster than light as well as not interact much with the high energy fields like the classical electromagnetic field lines, because the dark matter and dark energy waves which are pure and low energy might go in the lines between the electric electromagnetic field lines making them coherent and so they stay unified and don't break or bunch up. By this relativity is not disproven but rather it's extended or at least certainly I believe that the relativity of acceleration and forces of this type are not viable.
Many of most people didn't believe in relativity at first and I think this was not a coincidence.. because while special relativity is good as far as it goes and explains a lot of things, I believe it's incomplete because there are all kinds of events around us that don't seem to match up to relativity and as I say on my other posts there seemed to be about 40 and more of these as I write more of them here often I had found.)
By relativity about rotation we can also say the water in the bucket can't know if it's spinning or not and cause the distinction of the surface of the water as the bucket rotates if it's not active we comparing itself to the field around it.
The "inconvenience of convenience" about relativity reminds me of gravity and in philosophy how the employer is not the same as the employee in business.
The employer favors convergence down to a point like gravity. Think about a commercial where the boss has set it up to converge on the point where someone pays for this, a customer, not a dummy we hope!.. this about gravity is non-relativistic where all points of view are equivalent..
The equality of the laborers is more about a sort of consideration where with near distance it seems all the observers are more equivalent. Gravity seems important and the boss has the advantage of the economy of scale or more convenience to do business.
In some of his books Bertrand Russell had a chapter called "What's Seen and What is Felt". For special relativity no star or mass in the cosmos in general can be said to be at rest more than any other or in motion more than the other as the motion is without friction and at high speed. Light and sight are what are so important to special relativity and not contact forces.
But when we have the speed of light being constant because light is a particle uninfluenced from emission to absorption as Einstein held, this means nothing would ever wear out or run down because in special relativity light has no interaction or contact force as it moves.
Yet by friction in the frame of the Earth all kinds of things are running down and wearing out all the time.
Much of this is because gravity is converging things downward and then they reradiate back out.
As an author I once wrote a story I named "Flatland". Flatland is like being in youth because the resources were seemingly unlimited in a way without much gravity or weight involved and so the geometry is linear like in special relativity and because of this most observers are equal..
As we grow older however it's apparent that resources are limited and this is literally because the world is round "like the boss" well who says so..
This means that resources and the possibility that all observers are not equivalent becomes obvious..
We might ask why we go to work day after day because the boss has more convenience and we "say we think it has something to do with rent!"
While relativity tells us that all observers are equivalent and this is indeed based on energy conservation and the first law of thermodynamics, it doesn't tell us about the second law and this is about how convenience becomes involved with the physics.
Einstein was saying in some of his later writing that he believed time didn't even exist, and by the great success of special relativity of course by the in and out waves of energy conservation exactly balancing.. if the boss is equal to the employees and all the observers are the same we would also say that by energy conservation there is such balance that all events can be reversed with no problem..
As an engineer and inventor I once asked..
If we had a blast to seek out the explosion of something like a volcano, could we actually just totally stop it from erupting by "using it's own force against it" by using something like a nuclear blast that implodes..
What can we say about Einstein's idea that time can be reversed?
I started to think what we might need to reverse an explosion..
At first I thought of a nuclear blast imploding inward.. But then I started to look at Einstein's idea about this and just as a thought experiment I realized it would need something more complex, and for this I started to think of ideas like setting up an MRI as the blast went outward to polarize the atoms so then sending in electrons with a second beam might then convert more of the radioactive protons in the neuclei to neutrons.
These no longer attract the nucleus by the strong force and radiate out as neutrons and decay in 12 minutes to protons and electrons which become like useful hydrogen to convert more of the radiation outward from the blast for useful energy and and then doing something like then sweeping them up with another high energy beam like a laser, and this ended up turning to need four or five super high energy beams..
While this thought experiment might seem useful to do something like stop nuclear blasts by this roundabout method, this by no means means it's reversing the time. By this thought experiment it became quite apparent to me that Einstein was wrong about time not existing..
My sister's fiance was saying he was working in demolition and that they had implosives for buildings like white powder that made them implode.. so I looked this up on the web and this is a sort of demolition myth because like with cooling you need a working fluid to move inward and I even believed that we might be able to use a large machine that implodes a lot of air inward rapidly with a motor to actually achieve this. (It also needs somewhere for the imploding air to go and I thought of using an exhaust pipe for this type of use.) Even so reversing the flow of an explosion can be really a complex event and I think it relates directly to the evidence that shows that it's much easier to convert mass to energy than energy to mass.
Mass and energy are conserved but they aren't converted and I would hold that if relativity was complete it would be easy to convert them easily in a time symmetrical way.
Einstein was a Spinozan and by this he believed that if you had a bunch of particles and you controlled all the particles you could reverse time and control the whole system with no problem no matter what.. so Einstein believed in determinism.
Many types of events are not easily reversible or controllable as if they were only particles. A bit of reduction here of Einstein's idea because of his other idea.. the one I think that was wiser, was his quote
"it's impossible to imagine a fundamental particle that can both emit and absorb a wave"..
so waves are ultimately going to be more fundamental and they're more complex, and Einstein by saying this apparently wasn't a Spinozan. He wrote over 200 books and when he finished each he revised his memory!
If the in and out waves were strictly balanced by energy conservation and the volcano could just be reversed by nuclear implosion, like the equivalent rotation of the universe or a small wheel I would say this would be a lot more convenient but also not much probable.
But if we say that the spinning bucket is comparing itself by its rotation to the constant Higgs' field even while time is not so reversible by this at any rate, we still have a way to distinguish motion from non-motion and also the mechanical cause of the Lorentz contraction by mechanical compression with the field as a mass accelerates forward and this is lacking in special relativity.
An experiment I propose is that instead of the universe rotating by small changes in the wheel instead we find ways to try to change the constant Higgs' field..
I think we might be able to do this by some kind of electromagnetic influence since like gravity and the Higgs' these three fields are long range so I think these might have the best way that we could change the influence of the field. We might need a high energy source to change it but then we would also change it by way of the electromagnetic field from this source.
My belief is that we could set the bucket or its equivalent wheel spinning and measure the centrifugal force and by changes in the Higgs field itself externally we might have a lot more chance of changing this than we have of changing the entire universe just by spinning the wheel..that is to say the wheel is spinning relative to the field and its immediate vicinity and by no means is the entire Cosmos spinning, and if we can change the field around the bucket and change the bucket then by changing centrifugal force we may see that relativity is not complete.
We see that the round wheel is comparing itself to the more constant Higgs field. The recent finding that pi is non-random and has non-periodicity of the repetition of say the number six is only 20% likely to repeat with the next loop.
This might be because the constant Higgs field is a lattice and it has edges so the round wheel has less resistance moving with the side of the box but when it reaches the edges they're jagged and at this point the measure of Pi is not random because it's not as stable.
This may be one reason why the lattice confinement calculations of the strong force have been successful because it's measuring the lattice at higher energy. (By changing the size of the units of the lattice the strong force changes phase from the strong force to electromagnetism at just the right energy as it radiates out in space just like the change of phase of a crystal that melts.)
With higher energy the boxes of the field are larger in the spacing and this might imply that at short radius like nuclear radii centrifugal force may not be the same strength as with more distance.
If we succeed in changing centrifugal force by this method of changing the Higgs field a prediction of this idea would be that we can change it by different amounts for different sizes of the wheels because the flat field stays the same while the size of the wheel changes.
Electrons in atomic orbitals don't have centrifugal force so it seems not impossible we could change it. On the larger scale because the spinning wheel has much larger size relative to the small size of the lattice which stays the same, it seems that gravity and centrifugal force both may be changed and the non-randomness of Pi might therefore be why the galaxies are rotating much faster than they should be without exploding outward and as a solid body, something relativity doesn't allow.
Mach and Einstein believed that since both the motion of the wheel or the cosmos are equivalent that somehow the spinning bucket of water is connected to the distant mass of the universe and so if we could somehow remove the mass and energy of the rest of the universe, the bucket of water would be constant with acceleration.
But the problem of the huge torsion force on the universe by the small wheel could be easily solved if we can prove that the wheel is only interacting with the field beside it.
I've had some chats with AI about this as you see on my other post about the electromagnetic motor made of the asteroid and spinning around the moon for lots of energy, I was asking AI about anything else I would need for this kind of plan and the AI says "I ask great questions!" No problem!
So I started to ask about my ideas about relativity and the AI is saying that while my perceptions were quite perceptive and insightful it comes up with this and repeats this more often..
"Low and high energy light bend exactly the same in a gravitational lens as by distant light sources".
..even so this tends to be something I wanted to improve about relativity.
First I noted about how in relativity you have the two masses falling at the same rate in the gravitational field and so Einstein is saying that it's equivalent to say that the Earth's field is rushing up to meet it at 32 ft per second.
My objection was that we would be at the speed of light and with infinite mass by way of special relativity in less than a year (this cause by special relativity is well proven and there's no problem with this, and the low energy field itself doesn't disprove relativity).
It seems arbitrary that we lift the masses to the same height because if you use force to determine what the change is and use the same force on the different masses they rise to different heights and fall at different rates just as otherwise the Earth around the Moon should fall at the same rate by relativity because they're both equally privileged.
So here is where I thought I had found my answer and that is that different masses really do fall at different rates.
And of course I say Right.. the high and low energy light do indeed bend by the same amount (because both have zero rest mass) and yet the masses within that frame can accelerate at any rate we want.
Relativists have argued because the speed of light is constant in the gravitational field and it all gets back to the speed of light by way of energy conservation, this idea of convenience having any import is actually trivial.. supposedly the constant acceleration of the light is about space and time itself and this cannot be changed. But I would ask the same question why is it that this works for light with zero rest bass but not for bodies with rest mass?
So the constant bending of light is one idea which I hold is the general frame by energy conservation of the physics where the waves balance as by relativity and yet even so the local change by way of convenience seems to be a way we can add on to relativity by more physics because relativity seems incomplete if the wheel spins more definitely than the cosmos.
The essential truth would seem to be that relativity describes the first law well and works well for it but not the second law and if you ask any employer or employee convenience also is not to be ignored.
