From: Hayek on 27 Jul 2010 12:32 FTL or Mutual Time Dilation ? Which belongs to fact and which belongs to fiction ? The players : Ann - the stay at home twin - clock points at 2025 Betty's time is 2023. Betty - the traveling twin - clock points at 2023 Ann's time is 2021 Enter mutual time dilation and ftl : Ann sends ftl message to Betty, message arrives in 2003. Betty retransmits message to Ann, message arrives in 2001. Causality destroyed. This is under the assumption that for Ann, Betty is still in 2003 and that for Betty, Ann is still in 2001. There is another, much more simple explanation : they are still both in the same now, let us take the Earth's time as a reference, 2005, but Betty's molecules have just moved slower (imnsho because of higher inertia), just as she would have as being in some cryogenic system. In this context : Ann ftl-calls Betty and realizes that her speech is gamma times slower, Betty notices that Ann speech is gamma times faster. Ftl works just fine, only the phone bills are too high. What is the greater science fiction, ftl or mutual time dilation, the latter giving rise to time travel and causality breaches ? Ftl does not breach causality, MTD (mutual time dilation) does. MTD = Science Fiction. Uwe Hayek. -- We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion : the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history. -- Ayn Rand I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. -- Thomas Jefferson. Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. -- Winston Churchill.

Your gibberish generator is still full on. FTL cannot be verified. Therefore your "causality problem", isn't a problem. David A. Smith

Then neither can MTD. > Therefore your "causality problem", isn't a problem. I say the problem arises from MTD, not from FTL, if ever possible.

Eg. Quantum preferred frame: Does it really exist? EPL (Europhysics Letters) Volume 88, Number 1 http://iopscience.iop.org/0295-5075/88/1/10005;jsessionid=52ED179FF302CE9C141ECF9B9EA55927.c1 Abstract: The idea of the preferred frame as a remedy for difficulties of the relativistic quantum mechanics in description of the non-local quantum phenomena was undertaken by physicists such as J. S. Bell and D. Bohm. The possibility of the existence of a preferred frame was also seriously treated by P. A. M. Dirac. In this paper, we propose an Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen�type experiment for testing the possible existence of quantum preferred frame. Our analysis suggests that to verify whether a preferred frame of reference in the quantum world exists, it is enough to perform an EPR-type experiment with a pair of observers staying in the same inertial frame and with use of the massive EPR pair of spin�one-half or spin-one particles.

The preferred frame is the state of the matter, which is the state of the matter and the state of the dark matter; the state of which is determined by the connections between the matter and the dark matter which is the state of displacement. |
