In
the same way that
space is nothingness, so is time. Distances in space
can only be measured using the
objects that occupy space. The passage
of time can only be measured by noting the events that happen to the
objects that occupy space. Time is the measure of something being
different from one moment to a succeeding moment.
Being
nothingness, time doesn't dilate. Objects can accelerate or decelerate.
Processes and
mechanisms can accelerate or decelerate. When objects and
processes and mechanisms are accelerating or decelerating, time is not
dilating. It is merely that the objects, processes, or mechanisms are
going faster or slower relative to other objects, processes or
mechanisms.
Since time doesn't dilate, there is no relativistic
Doppler colourshifting. Such effects are claimed to have been detected
but these detections are a misinterpretation of the data in the light
of the
current paradigm.
