Time Relativity - A Model For Relative Time

Authors: Michael Devine

We introduce a new relativistic model of the universe in which the time of an observer is precisely defined relative to all other observers. Within this redefinition of time, light is considered to propagate in a single instant, while still appearing to be traveling at an invariable constant speed c to any observer who fails to perceive time across distances. The intuitive correctness of the new model is presented, and it is shown to properly account for historical experiments related to light and measurements of c. Built from the ground up to match the predictions of special relativity, the new model of "Time Relativity" is shown to display the same relativistic effects. We prove this by deriving the Lorentz transformation as a direct consequence of the theory's hypothesis. We discuss the startling possible consequences of accepting the model as an accurate description of our reality. Finally, we present the beginnings of a time-relativistic explanation of quantum mechanical observations of light as seen in the double-slit experiment, suggesting a possible role for Time Relativity in leading to a unified theory.
