Variable Space-Time

Variable space-time is not compatible with the idea that relativity is the natural result of the most fundamental constituents of mass moving at the invariable speed of light. The Lorentz equations only work with either the conventional idea that space and time are variable or this natural relativity idea. If one idea is reality, the other idea can not possibly be.

As any massive object moves relative to other objects it experiences distortion in the other objects. This experience follows the transformations set down by Lorentz. These transformations are a set of equations that describe distortions in the other objects. These Equations agree with observations made by scientists over the last hundred years or so. Time is one of the things distorted, leading to the idea of variable space and time.

It is important to note that an observer on one object experiences distortions in other objects moving relative to the observer's object. Observers on either object do not observe distortions in their own objects. This is because the observers as well as any tools they might use are distorted just exactly the same as their objects.

If the most fundamental constituents of mass did move at the invariable speed of light, any moving object would actually be distorted. Since the constituents of mass can never exceed the speed of light, the mass must distort in order to remain intact. It is not immediately obvious that the experience of time by the mass object must also be distorted but a little thought shows this to be so.

Time is measured by counting the vibrations caused by electrons moving around certain atoms. The distance traveled by an electron to complete an orbit is greater when the orbited object is moving. Since the distance is greater actual time passes more slowly. Relative time measured on the moving object is normal, however, because the time standard itself is moving more slowly.

John A. Wheeler, in his article, "Beyond The End Of Time," wrote, "Some principle uniquely right and uniquely simple must, when one knows it, be also so obvious that it is clear that the universe is built, and must be built, in such and such a way and that it could not possibly be otherwise."

The photonic construct of mass is such a principle. Any normally educated intelligent person should immediately see that this is true. Nature could not possibly be otherwise.
