it really is simply that atomic decay occurs at different
frequencies while exposed to different environments.
because of course there isn't any relationship between Time, and the Rate of atomic decay? ...I'm just asking.
over the years atomic decay has been used to standardize time
as closely as possible and from what I have read the cesium atom
has been the favorite , but I have also read that other materials
and processes can be used to make similar clocks.
the fountain clocks are extremely accurate to zero gain or loss
of a single second in over a hundred million years.
thats all good but if your out in space flying around in a
diverse number of gravity fields and changing your vector to
get to a certain position then a clock that is so drastically affected by both gravity and velocity or basically any change
in motion or local environment wouldnt really be the best
choice I wouldnt think.
so yes there is a relationship between time and the rate of
atomic decay.
but as it appears different material has different rates
of decay.
so the only material that adheres to the chosen rate is
the chosen cesium material.
all else will follow its natural rate of decay and is not
bound by the rate that cesium decays.
so what that tells me is that the time standard that we use
is related to the rate of decay of the cesium material.
so would time dilate faster or slower for cesium material
than it would for any other material?
what do you think?
can you say that all materials that are subjected to the
same amounts of gravity and velocity and basically any
change in local environment will undergo the same exact
rate of decay as the cesium?
if the cesium rate of decay changes due to gravity and velocity
changes as you say it does wouldnt that say that all other materials that undergo a natural rate of decay would also undergo a change in rate of decay like the cesium?
if they will all undergo the same rate of decay then why
would they only use cesium as their favorite material.
I dont believe that all materials would undergo the same
rate of decay change as the cesium material.
could it be that what you think is time dilation is only
occurring in the cesium material?
if not then why not simply use any material if all materials
that are exposed to the changes in gravity and velocity
and basically any changes to their local environment
are affected by the same amount of time dilation...
