Heart of Alice

In the section Wonderland, we discussed why Gryphon observes time dilation on Alice’s clock. We saw that time dilation is a perception, and that the deformation of electromagnetic signals coming from a moving clock is what causes this effect to appear.

In this section, we will examine the same phenomenon this time by taking Alice’s frame of reference as the basis. Because in a similar way, Alice also observes a time dilation on Gryphon’s clock.

Animated Figure 1 – I am reusing here the final animation about Gryphon from the section Wonderland. That animation showed, in full detail, how time dilation arises in Gryphon’s frame of reference. Using the information provided by that animation, we will now understand how time dilation occurs for Alice.

Alice observes time dilation on Gryphon’s clock.

Gryphon and Alice are two frames of reference moving relative to each other. From the point of view of these two systems, it is not important which one is moving and which one is at rest. Each can regard itself as stationary and the other as moving. Since Gryphon observes time dilation, Alice must also observe time dilation on Gryphon’s clock.

If in the animation above we had shown Alice as stationary and Gryphon as moving, we would still have obtained exactly the same results.

General Rule:

At any given instant, whatever effect is produced for Gryphon, a similar effect must be produced for Alice at the same instant. Whatever Gryphon sees when he measures the tick–tock intervals of Alice’s clock, Alice must see the same when she measures the tick–tock intervals of Gryphon’s clock at that same moment. At whatever distance Gryphon sees Alice’s Ghost, Alice must see Gryphon’s Ghost at the same distance from herself.

These principles must also hold true in the animation we are going to construct. Instead of taking Alice to be stationary and creating the animation directly, we want to observe from the outside how time dilation occurs in the case where she is the one in motion.

Taking the general rule into account, we can think as follows: we already know how events develop for Gryphon. If we construct a SYMMETRY AXIS midway between Alice and Gryphon, we can obtain all the information we need about Alice from there.

Whatever happens to the left of the symmetry axis for Gryphon, at the same instant the corresponding thing happens to the right of the axis for Alice. In this way, Einstein’s Principle of Relativity is preserved:

Principle of Relativity: The same law of electrodynamics and optics will be valid for all frames of reference for which the equations of mechanics hold good.

In the new animation to be constructed according to this principle, the following rules must hold:

Whatever distance Gryphon is from the symmetry axis, Alice is at the same distance.
At whatever distance from the symmetry axis Gryphon sees Alice’s Ghost, Alice sees Gryphon’s Ghost at the same distance.
If a signal reaches Gryphon, at that same instant a signal reaches Alice.
Whatever Gryphon measures on Alice’s clock, Alice measures the same value on Gryphon’s clock.

The animation below has been prepared according to these rules.

Animated Figure 2 – Its width has been set to 1024 pixels so that all details can be seen.

The animation satisfies all of the rules stated above completely. Therefore, there is no need for any doubt regarding the results it shows. Using a symmetry axis increases the reliability of our analysis. In the animation, a symbolic ruler has also been mounted to Alice; in this way, the analysis of the incoming signals can be carried out more clearly.

The animation shows us a very important fact: The speed of the signals travelling towards Alice is “c” only and only with respect to Alice. That is, the signals move with speed “c” according to Alice’s ruler. According to Gryphon’s ruler, this speed is different. This is an extraordinary result, because in this way the working mechanism of electromagnetic interaction becomes visible.

HEART OF ALICE

In physics, it is assumed that electromagnetic waves travel in vacuum with a constant speed “c”. However, what we see here is the following: electromagnetic interaction occurs with speed “c” not with respect to the source frame that emits the wave, but with respect to the frame of the target object.

This can only be explained as follows: Every object has its own special space (FIELD). Electromagnetic waves move through these fields. Their speed is “c” within that field. In the animation, the rulers belonging to Alice and Gryphon represent these special spaces (FIELDS).

Conclusion: Electromagnetic interaction does not occur in empty space, but through the special fields of objects. These special spaces are called “FIELD” (ALAN) in the Alice Law. This definition is in full agreement with physical principles.

Main Principles of Electromagnetic Interaction:

Electromagnetic interaction occurs through fields (special spaces).
The speed of an electromagnetic wave is always “c” with respect to the field through which it propagates.
The effect always proceeds from one object towards the field of the other object. The field belonging to that object carries the effect to the object itself.

These three rules also introduce a mathematical extension to electromagnetic theory: (c+v)(c–v), that is, the c±v mathematics. This approach does not invalidate the existing theory, but it corrects its deficiencies for moving frames.

And the result: While investigating the question “What is time dilation and how does it occur?”, we have in fact revealed the fundamental working of electromagnetic interaction. From this, we have seen that there is a direct connection between electromagnetic theory and the theory of relativity.

The Alice Law has clarified this connection: The theory of relativity is an extension of electromagnetic theory — but up to now it had been defined with an incomplete and incorrect mathematics. With the Alice Law, these errors have been corrected.

Conclusion: The Alice Law is not an alternative version of the theory of relativity; it is the theory that replaces it and redefines its truths. Make an effort to understand it. The Alice Law is the future of physics.
