Is Time The Same Everywhere?
The other day I wrote an article about time. I mentioned how the earth and its mass bend space and time. This is not my opinion, it is based on the work of Albert Einstein. This could account for different anomalies that NASA has encountered around the earth when they launch their rockets. I have mentioned this before, there seems to be a slight acceleration which cannot be accounted for when a rocket is launched into space. What seems to us to be acceleration could be a speed up in time. Perhaps there is an area near the planet where time is moving slightly faster? There are a few different things about time which I haven’t heard spoken about very much. It could turn out that time itself is not as stable as one thinks, but the reason we don’t know about this is we haven’t been exposed to life very far away from the earth.
Could it be time itself is different on the moon than it is on earth? One has to wonder since the mass of the moon is far less than the mass of the earth if the warping of space and time is much less, or is the distance of the moon to the earth so close that the earth dominates space-time. Perhaps none of this is true and it is the sun’s huge mass that is the gatekeeper for space-time, at least up to a certain distance in our solar system. Time is so mysterious, if we think about it long enough we start to realize time may not be the same for all of us. A recent experiment claimed that the older someone gets the faster time actually moves. The scientists are not talking about huge differences here, because if they were and it was true that time moved fast for old people, younger people would notice it. It is comparative to saying time is moving faster inside your car when you’re traveling than when you are outside walking. While this is true the difference is minute.
If we colonize Mars will things be different in time for those who lived there? If we look at their lifespan from the perspective of earth will they live an average of more years or less years and will it be due to the fact the mass of Mars is less than the mass of the earth, therefore producing less bending of time and space? We are learning more things about time in a shorter period than we ever knew before. Could it be that every planet of a different size has time moving at a different rate or that every solar system with a different size star has this happening? It is an intriguing question isn’t is? We know the faster we go the more time will slow down for us. That is why we hear the story so many times about an astronaut traveling at the speed of light to a planet 10 light years away and then returning home only to find there was no one left he knew, because they all died of old age since time was traveling much faster for them.
In a way a sort of slowing down of mortality might be accomplished by just moving to a different planet. The problem with this idea is even though you might live a lot longer you probably wouldn’t notice it since time would seem to be traveling normally for you even though for others back on earth it was moving a lot faster. We all know by now we are being observed. Our skies are full of UFOs and many investigators feel this is due to the fact we may be part of some experiment conducted by aliens. It makes one wonder if perhaps the experiment has something to do with time. Could it be that time is different on the earth than almost anywhere else and this is the thing that interests the aliens so much? It might be that time is composed of many different factors, mass may warp space and time and other things may affect that warp, things we know nothing about yet. It could be as simple as particles coming from the sun. Our sun is said to be very average, it is classified as a yellow dwarf star. There are some stars in this universe which are so big if they were put next to our star it would be like the point of a pin next to a basketball. Because our star is so average, there is probably nothing special about it.
This brings up the question again, is there something special about the time stream on this planet and could we be affected? Is there something we are doing which is changing time, but we don’t notice it because we’re caught up in time? Could nuclear weapons have something to do with this, or the huge magnets used in some of the atom smashes we use for experiments? We know that the magnets at the Large Hadron Collider are incredibly more powerful than the magnetic field of the earth itself, this is not the only Atom smasher in use on the planet. Could magnetic waves be affecting our time stream?
Experiments with time are becoming very popular and recently scientists claim to have sent a photon back into the past. One has to wonder if once we get off this planet we will find that time is completely different in some other places and we never realized it. There could be places in this universe where beings live out entire lives in the blink of an eye without realizing it and on the other hand there could be beings that live for millions of years, but the amount of time seems the same to them as the amount of time we live does to us. It could be we may land on a planet someday and see organisms which look like statues, because they are moving so slow we can’t detect their movement.
If we could find out what affects time, we could then create devices to control time. But even if we could extend time it still might feel the same to us to live in that time. If this is true, what good would it be? Once we get out into space, a lot further than we have now, there may be many time puzzles we encounter. Natural ones may exist all around us and it could turn out that black holes alter time due to the tremendous mass. One of the only things holding us back right now is the speed at which we would be able to travel. Until we can travel perhaps thousands of times the speed of light, we may never be able to solve this riddle since we may not be able to cover different regions of space which could be so warped that even time itself would be unrecognizable.
