The Theory that Time is Relative is about to be experimentally proved in Public.
The Organisation wants Public participation in ‘making the experiments Dramatic and visually stimulating’
Please click the link and contribute your ideas.
I request every one including youngsters, especially them to come out with idea.
For easy reading on the subject please read my blog Time-a Non-linear Theory( filed under Astro Physics)
Time passes at different rates in different gravitational potentials and at different speeds. In other words, time will pass quicker in space than it does down here on the Earth’s surface, but a clock on a speeding rocket will appear to run slower when compared with a stationary clock.
Time Dilation Should Be Sensational
Experiments since the Hafele-Keating flights in 1971 — when four Cesium atomic clocks were flown on regularly scheduled commercial jet flights around the world — have confirmed that time dilates depending on how fast and how high you’re flying.
But rather than to simply prove that the phenomena of Special and General Relativity are real properties of space and time, Kentucky Space wants to make a love connection between the public and space, between the physics behind our Universe and our experience-loving selves.
For Time Probe, Kentucky Space, in cooperation with its strategic partnerNanoRacks LLC, proposes to integrate an atomic clock with our CubeLab modules. It will secure the Rubidium clocks, build the experimental interfacing and data handling systems, integrate the payload, and meet all the flight requirements to get an orbiting atomic clock on station, working in tandem with its NanoRacks’ host and beating its little heart out.
BACKGROUND: What are CubeLabs and NanoRacks?
We will keep an identically prepared clock at the Space Science Center at Morehead State University. A predicted time of the clock in orbit (reading the space station’s clock while in orbit would be strictly forbidden) will be displayed side-by-side for comparison.
Now think countdown timer in Lost‘s Swan Station. By hosting both clock displays on the Internet, something wonderful will slowly happen.
Beginning at about the thousandth decimal place on right of the display, the predicted time of the clock aboard the ISS will slowly fall behind the clock on Earth. Accelerated relative to the clock on the ground, and yet experiencing less gravity, the ISS clock will start to slow down relative to the clock on the ground.
Although a final decision hasn’t been made about the length of time the ISS clock should remain in space, there is no reason that the orbiting clock couldn’t stay aloft for an extended period before it returns to Earth for a final check and the actual time difference confirmed.
How would you make time dilation sensational? Does time dilation have acolor? Does it beat to the flourishes of Grandmaster Flash or Bach? Can it be touched or embedded in ambient, smart objects that respond to our presence?
Would a Rolex watch care to pit their timekeeping skills against Mother Nature?
If you think outside the atmosphere and want to help us bring Time Probe to the public ahead of schedule, or just want to inquire about how you can identify it, please make contact with us.
