Welcoem to posts!!
in the future - u will be able to do some more stuff here,,,!! like pat catgirl- i mean um yeah... for now u can only see others's posts :c
I believe the ultimate nature of Time is...

What do you believe to be the ultimate nature of length contraction?
58 - 88
The time has come. Length Contraction -- thy nature shall be known.
Ten months ago, after presenting our "sound-clock" model of time dilation on YouTube, we shortly thereafter became convinced of the necessity of the physical reality of length contraction. Indeed, just as time dilation had a compelling, simple, wave-dynamic interpretation, we reasoned, might not length contraction also have one?
Seven months ago, after presenting "The Loophole" video and demonstrating that the relativity of simultaneity was merely a result of clock synchronization convention, we realized that the contraction of space itself was also descriptive convention -- leaving only the contraction of physical objects themselves to be accounted for.
Four months ago, in presenting "Matrix Theory" we determined that, although one could never be certain how much of the observed contraction of a physical object was real and how much was coordinative, it was unquestionably motion with respect to the medium of propagation of light -- the "luminiferous ether" -- that caused length contraction, just as it caused time dilation. But while the physical cause of time dilation could be understood as a consequence of the source-independent velocity of light, how could length contraction be understood? What could possibly cause all objects, regardless of their physical constitution and make-up, to contract in the same way and same manner when subject to motion with respect to the medium of light propagation?
Then something happened which, to us, seems to be becoming a more and more regular occurrence as we progress through higher-level physics: we stumbled across some highly abstract, highly esoteric mathematics lacking in any solid physical interpretation. But these mathematics were different -- these mathematics did not invoke relative space or time in any fashion whatsoever and, when one used them, out popped something that looked extraordinarily like length contraction. Immediately we recognized the task ahead of us, and set about trying to understand and interpret the math in the most logical, concrete, and straightforward physical manner possible. And when we did this, the beginnings of something even more extraordinary than just the explanation for length contraction began to emerge.
Next Saturday, we are very excited to present and share this journey of discovery with you. The future is beginning to seem full of promise.

At the behest of various subscribers, we have opened a Dialect discord! Not being terribly knowledgeable about discord, our server is rather minimalistic at the moment, but for those of you who are interested in having more involved discussions about the various philosophical and physics-related topics on this channel, or who are simply interested in meeting like-minded individuals, feel free to hop on and start stirring up some trouble! And please feel free to provide feedback as to what you'd like to see on there. The link is below:

Also, new video drops tomorrow!

In case you missed it, @lukasrafajpps put out another really great video dissecting and discussing our sound-clock analogy! His video includes some very valid objections to our model, such as addressing the differences which arise from having a longitudinal orientation of the sound-clock, as well as discussing the impact of time dilation upon elementary and atomic particles. An absolute must-watch!
Also, tomorrow we drop our next video! At almost 26 minutes in length, it's our biggest, boldest, most cinematic, most dogma-defying video yet! So get ready to follow the white rabbit...

IT'S COMING. 2.3.2024
185 - 27
Our channel recommendation today is @lukasrafajpps , a Ph.D. student and theoretical physicist who brings clarity of insight and thoughtful explanatory nuance to a variety of topics in physics, and who, like us, can be quite critical-minded. His recent reaction video to "The Loophole" provides several clarifying details regarding the one-way speed of light and -- even more fun -- dives into the math of anisotropic light behavior!

Alright subscribers, it's time to test your knowledge in the foundations of relativity! Which of the following statements about the behavior of light is NOT correct?
612 - 137
This is it - the big one! Tomorrow we debut a video wherein we exploit an alternative interpretation of Relativity in order to begin building a completely different, physically meaningful picture of the theory.
Tomorrow's video will cover the topics of time dilation and the twin paradox -- part two (likely coming in October) will complete the picture with explanations of length contraction and (most importantly) the relativity of simultaneity. Regardless whether you find this alternative interpretation more or less compelling than the current one, we guarantee you will undoubtedly come away with a deeper insight into the theory, and our reality. So don't miss out!

Summer is officially here! And with it, a slew of our most important videos yet. Indeed, after spending a great of time with the big GR, we're making this summer all about its special friend, the little -- and as Einstein put it, "narrower" -- R. Indeed, the more we have been attempting to fit this theory into a universally coherent framework, the more we have begun to question everything we were taught about it...
Slated for debut tomorrow: a video examining the axiomatic consistency of special relativity and the implications of absolute acceleration. Then after that we'll be taking a thorough look at the concept of time dilation -- and we mean, like REAL thorough. So grab a Piña Colada or two... because we guarantee you won't want to miss these!
