Does the Lorentz theory state that as one travels near lightspeed there exists a proportional contraction of time, which can be calculated in relation to the proximity to the finite measure? In other words, does time slow down at a specified rate based on travel speed?Wormhole has become a familiar vehicle. I think without a “Stargate” concept, wormholes are a bit incomprehensible.
What did you make of the Father on the beach sequence?
Follow Ups:
There was an experiment in 1971 testing the time dilation theory in which (very accurate) atomic clocks were flown around the world to see if time "slowed down" on the clocks in the aircraft relative to identical ones on Earth. They found out the clocks aboard the aircraft when it finally landed were about 50ns behind the stationary clocks on Earth.
Fascinating... But, I assume the results are considered meaningless relative to the small increment in time at applicable speeds.Since this is the films asylum, when the speed of light is reached has anyone theorized the potential for standardized “Altered States”?
Interesting parallel between contact and altered states, now that you mention it...
Lorentz "transformations" are equations showing how relative velocity of two "reference frames" - one moving, the other stationary affect time, mass and dimension (length) when measurements of those quantities are compared. No "large" effects show up until speed of the moving frame is very close to speed of light, relative to stationary frame. At slower speeds, the equations are still valid, differences just too small to measure.Father on beach sequence was a bit dramatic but not bad, made sense considering the rest of the movie, like young Arroway contacting the beach in Florida on ham radio at beginning of movie.
