Do you really think you're smarter than Einstein who said that time dilation is a fact?

  • By using the formula for gravitational time dilation I get that there is no significant diffrent bewteen time on earth than between galaxies :S

  • i saw the message you left. you didnt even almost do it right. wait to see the video im going to have on it.

  • You are of course right about the time dilation, but you are wrong about it's effects. Yes, gravity slows time, but this effect is noticeable (in human senses) only in very strong gravity fields, like near black holes.

    If there were such time dilation that would cause Earth being 6000 years old while rest of the universe being 13,7 billion years old, it would be easily observable. We don't see anything like that. Time runs roughly at same rate everywhere.

  • it can be noticed between time in mountains and time at sea level. thats only a couple thousand feet. how far away do you have to go to get out of the earth's atmosphere? 62 miles?

  • Actually Earth's atmosphere continues up to 200-300 km, that 62 miles (or 100 km) is artificial limit. You missed my point, we humans do not notice the sligth time difference between sea level and mountain top, you need an atom clock to "see" the difference, we are talking about femtoseconds.

  • ya, but you're talking about on earth where the differences are only thousands of feet. im going to make a video, hopefully soon showing the numbers. but in outer space outside of being caught in any gravitational fields, time goes extremely fast. just wait for my new video on it.

  • So you have the equations for gravitational time dilation. Excellent. Now - and this is the important part of using science - check your claims by calculating their consequences. I did. For 13.5 BY to have gone by in space while 6000 years went by here, the earth would have to be about 718 million times heaver than we know it to be. It would be on the cusp of being a black hole.  You MUST calculate consequences. People would weigh dozens of tons on earth.

  • Special theory of relativity was designed to explain why c is constant through all frames of reference. The whole reason why time varies with velocity is because it was a way of explaining the nature of the speed of light being constant at any reference point. No one is taking you seriously except creationists who are scientificly inept

  • You seem relatively confused (pun intended) about special and general theory of relativity, and cosmology.

  • 1: (for his argument)

    Carbon dating and half lives have nothing to do with his argument! He says that 4.5m years here is 6k years in space..

    2: (against)

    You assume that there is nothing between us and the star that is 13.5 billion years away that effects the amount of time it takes for the light to travel here..

    3: (against)

    You say light can travel 2.2m times faster in low gravity.. How did you come up with this particular number? I've seen nothing in the theory to support this number..

  • @mrtaxel Dating methods of any kind are extremely reliable!! Half lives don't change at all and there are many objects that are over 6000 years old!

  • Umm... you know that in the previous video, you equated rate of time with gravitational force/ constant, whatever that was? Improve your mathematics and physics sir, before you make silly suggestions. Limits is not the only thing calculus has to offer- in order to know relativity, learn differential geometry.

  • Also, dendochronology, which is used to calibrate carbon dating goes back like 11000 years.

  • "Potassium-argon and Carbon 14 dating are very unreliable. This has been proven time and time again."

    Wrong.

  • Potassium-argon and Carbon 14 dating are very unreliable. This has been proven time and time again. Prove to me that one object on this earth is over 6,000 years old.
