Time Delusional
When physicists use extracurricular reasoning and yet not know it.
In physics, the idea is widely embraced that time can dilate. It means that time can pass at different rates for different observers. In other words, time adjusts itself.
It is easy to show how that is a fallacy, but it is much harder for those who accept it as real to acknowledge that. That’s a bit then like five-year olds being told about Santa, and then sticking with the truth as they already know it.

- Starting point (for us, but also for Newton and Einstein): The Behavior of Matter Moving through Space.
- What is interesting: An anomaly is seen among the behavior of matter moving through space.

Einstein showed us a framework, Spacetime, and this captures the anomaly.
The Problem: Einstein does not declare his answer in the subject-matter language itself. He steps away from that language, something he acknowledged first himself, and then later decided he would not declare this stepping away from the subject-matter language as important anymore.
In my words, Einstein showed us an abstraction. The good part is that by itself it is correct/fitting. But the problem remains because he does not provide an…
