Part 7. Time.

Reconsidering the basics of the physic.

Part 7. Time.

In the previous video, we barely touched such an extraordinary thing as time is. Let’s start, or rather continue our analysis. Since the theory of relativity insists that the speed of light is a constant, and we can measure the distances good enough, the time is the only variable we left to manipulate. As a result, the theory of relativity unambiguously says that the time passes with a different rate in different conditions.
However, as we’ve determined it on the basis of Albert Michelson experiment “Measurement of the velocity of light in a partial vacuum”, the speed of light is not a constant, but a variable value, what indeed depends on the conditions of its medium, on the conditions of the space-time, on the total strength of gravity other words. Therefore, Is the time dilation phenomenon shows that the time by itself passes differently in different conditions? Or it does indicate that only our clock ticks with the different rate, in direct dependence on those different conditions themselves?
