Well, since hadrons, move at extremely high velocities and are still able to experience time, it doesn't confirm, but rather denies the lack of time flow at 100% of c

IIRC, there is no frame for a photon because you get zero's and infinities, which means it makes no sense and is not useful.

It shows that time dilation is a fact as detailed in Einstein's SR. What has this to do with any time flow for a photon? which is non existant.

hanx! I know, that lenght contraction can be observed only by a stationary observer :)

I seriously suggest you start by clearing up this misconception.

What you are referring to (perhaps) is what used to be called 'the laboratory frame', which was often considered stationary

Yes, a point I already made. It appears that we now have some dancing around the issue at hand re SR and as an extension, GR.

And as long as your self proclaimed knowledge and logic are clouded with afflictions and/or agendas, they will prove to be faulty.

What afflictions and/or agendas

Quote

...Time does not pass for a photon...

How do you know?

I can make a simple statement, which will prove, that this statement is wrong... Are you ready? Then listen: It is possible to track the timeline of events, experienced by a photon. To have a timeline, means to experience time - that's all... Do you want to argue?

Yes - it won't make sense, if we would use SR. But is it useless, to use photons as a frame of reference? I would argue...

"non existant" according to a theory, which can't even use those photons as a reference. It's pretty obvious, that it won't make sense, if we won't assume, that light experiences time, just like any other frame

A point of proceedure, John

You have to highlight that text in order to copy it.

If you stay your hand a bit longer to get the "quote this " up we will know whom you are responding to.

Sorry, I wanted to answer to one person in a single post, but I didn't manage...

SR is GR with a flat spacetime, which means without gravity. If you are getting zero's and infinities as your result then you know it's broken down and not valid.

No, GR is about mass/energy distribution and time-space curvatures...

SR is about relative motion and the speed of light.

If you disagree, try to explain gravity with SR - good luck

But does it mean, that there's absolutely no other way, to make it valid? I'm sure, that scientists should be able to make it work - even a complete amateur, like me was able to describe a possible perspective of a photon....

Problem is, that to do it, we would ave to modify a big part of SR...

Only in part.

 

In elementary mechanics, we start with kinematics, whcih is purely about equations of motion, irrepective of how those motions are caused.

In particular kinematics does not involve any forces.

To do this we move on to a more complete description, known as dynamics.

 

It is much the same in SR and GR

Forces are not involved in SR, but introduced in GR.

So yes, GR deals with gravity (in its own way)

 

Now I have answered you how about going back  afew posts and answering my comment on stationary observers?

I wanted to say, that it is impossible to observe any effect of relativity in my own frame if I'm moving with a constant velocity

That's why I asked you whether you believe in ghosts demons and the supernatural in general etc [which you raised] And the possible afflction being delusions of grandeur in thinking that you have discovered/reasoned and invalidated SR/GR which has been put to the tests many thousands of times and passed with flying colours.

Quote

How do you know?

Obviously as I already told you we cannot put ourselves in, or even talk about the frame of reference of a photon, but relativity, that theory that has been validated thousands of times, tells us that as we approach "c" [and as shown in experiments many times] time slows down and lengths shorten. Therefor at "c" time should not exist and the photon be able to traverse the universe in an instant.

No you can't and be my guest. And again if you are so inflicted with delusions of grandeur, then write up a paper for peer review.

You can argue till the cows come home, but you will never invalidate SR/GR simply because we use and apply them every day.

:D SR is the subset or special case of GR without gravity, so you appear to be deliberately constructing a paradox. Try again.

What is the punishment for talking and thinking (!!!) about photon as a frame of reference? It has to hurt, since you are so scared of doing it...

It won't be validated, until someone won't approach c.

And sice timeline of events, experienced by a photon can be observed and tracked your explanations don't have no value at all - as they are contradicted by objective reality

Are you sure? Have you looked at my topic in the lounge?

That's much better, and much closer to what I originally said to you.

But I also said that applies to anything else that is referenced to your frame ie within your frame.

But why only constant velocity.

The Lorenz transform has the (interesting) property that the L tranform of a L transform is again a L transform.

It is just my guess, but I would say, that it's because constant velocity is not associated with a kinetic force - so nothing works on a body which moves at a constant speed

Thanx! I would love to hear more - can you give me some link?

Why not simply answer the question, unless I really have got you.

None that I know of except of course being a totally invalid concept which will obviously get you know where.

Bullshit, Again check out particle accelerators and many other applications of the validity of SR/GR

Ahh yes the delusions of grandeur affliction again.  :rolleyes:

Now again try writing up a paper for professional peer review and then be willing to accept the criticism that even SR/GR had to go through before being validated.

Keep in mind, that I'm just a complete amateur, who treats physics as a hobby - but I'm still learning and trying to improve...

Truth is, that my agenda is so secret, that it still doesn't have a name - got any ideas?

So you say, that people won't even try to use photons as reference, cause they are afraid of being wrong?

Funny, I found 2 possible ways to do it. They might be of course wrong - but since no one can move at c, how do we learn the truth?

Of course - my opinion matters so much, that hundreds of thousands of professional scientists tremble, when they hear my voice, while my guesses shake the entire scientific community...

"Don't you know him? He's that famous nobody, who treats physics as a hobby and doesn't have any title any title or diploma" Yes - Nobel Prize is waiting....

Certainly...and I do my share of dreaming, particularly about where and why the BB banged. :P

But really, all jokes aside, the frequency of amateurs coming to this and other science forums, open to all and sundry and every Tom, Dick and Harry, sees these claimants of having trumped Einstein and relativity, being worth a dime a dozen.

It's coming up to midnight here.

I will see what I can look out tomorrow, but I am old fashioned so I tend to regard references as in books or papers.

Janus would probably have this stuff at his fingertips.

 

This is not a personal criticism, but your guess underlined above suggests you are not up to speed on classical mechanics.

You really can't hope to cope with relativity unless you can do that first, except in the most general terms which will leave much important stuff out.

In those circumstances you need to be a bit less ready to jump to unjustified conclusions. You should not have to guess at fundamentals.

I have already just told you that kinetics or kinematics has nothing to do with forces (although it deals with accelerations, boosts and so forth).

I want to combine my model of space, time and scale relativity with those parts, which are officially approved. To be honest, I still didn't get to GR - first I want to deal with SR. But the general idea of such unification is still just in my mind :)

You haven't presented a model.
