The observed fact is that measured time changes with gravity and speed. My explanation is that 'gravity slows down the clock, and not the time'. As mentioned earlier, I propose that G depends on speed. As G increases with speed, gravity increases and the clock slows down. So the effect of both the gravity and speed on measured time are the same.(So GR and Sr are not needed to explain the slowing of clock).

Again, if G increases with speed, then the increase in relative mass observed will be due to the increase in G (Here also SR is not needed). If bodies are made up of particles moving at speed 'c', then the speed limit will be 'c' for all bodies (SR is not needed to explain that).

Thus the so-called right predictions of SR/GR can be explained in an alternate way, and not only that, the alternate explanation removes the metaphysical concept of space-time.



Huh the atomic clocks we are talking about and in this case a quantum clock (http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2010/09/ordinary-relativity/)

They are not something that can be slowed down like a mechanical clock ... these are quantum oscillations.

So the oscillations are slowing down ... umm thats extremely difficult in the quantum world.

See the funny thing is GR and QM time are different we were talking about this in a different thread.

Read the paper http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/1102/1102.0016v2.pdf

Simple experiment ... now where do you want to go from here.

I believe in "Evil, Bad, Ungodly fantasy science and maths", so I am undoubtedly wrong to you.
