Chapter 2
LORENTZ-INVARIANT UNIVERSAL TIME

The circular arc swept out by the angular displacement of a clock indicator (or its equivalent representation) measuring time is shown to be a Lorentz invariant, representing „universal“ time. The concepts of time dilation and transverse Doppler effect are accordingly not physically observable. Length contraction, also experimentally unconfirmed, and kinematic temporal phase, both consequences of the Lorentz transformations, are also physically unobservable. The unobservability of these „effects,“ due to Lorentz-invariant „universal“ time, renders the Lorentz transformations kinematically trivial and untenable.

There are several experiments that purport to confirm time dilation as a „kinematic“ consequence of uniform translatory motion. The experimental evidence for time dilation, when examined critically, will be shown, in Chapter 6, to be inconclusive. There are certain heretofore unnoticed theoretical aspects imposed as consequences of the Lorentz transformations that imply that time dilation is not a physically observable phenomenon.

The Lorentz transformations, expressed in full, are

x‘ = ?(x – vt),  y‘ = y,  z‘ = z,  and  t‘ = ?(t – vx/c²).

where  ? = 1/[1 – v²/c²]^½

The well-known mathematical deduction of time dilation from the Lorentz transformation for time is expressed as

?t = ??t_o     (1)

This is interpreted to represent the relationship of the time interval  ?t  that transpires on relatively stationary synchronous clocks to the corresponding „proper“ time interval öf₀ that transpires on another stationary clock in a System that is in relative uniform rectilinear motion. The physical Interpretation of the time dilation expression (1) as the „slowing down“ of time on a moving clock ha s been regarded as experimentally observable, were it only possible to move one clock relative to others that are stationary with a sufficiently high uniform translatory speed, so that a significantly detectable observation would be feasible.

It is therefore of utmost importance to make explicit certain physical characteristics of clocks whereby the asserted physical manifestation of time dilation might or might not be observable.

A clock is a device or meter for the measurement or the „telling“ of time. It is a device that involves a condition of (preferably uniform) motion producing the successive repetition of the same relative spatial Situation, and a means of counting the successive situations of rotational. vibrational or oscillatory motion that are referred to as periods or cycles. The „telling“ of time is accomplished by noting – to available technological accuracy – the integer number of periods and the fraction of a period as a phase angle through which a clock indicator has moved.

The phase angle ?_o (or its equivalent representation) through which the indicator of a stationary clock has been uniformly moved by the internal mechanism of the clock is directly proportional, by conventional definition, to the linear uniform passage of time. The factor of proportionality is the periodic behavior of a standard clock mechanism expressed as the effective constant angular speed ?_o of the periodic motion of the clock.
