Illusion of Time: Twin Paradox, Time Dilation, Gravity, Time Travel


Let’s come to the other very interesting phenomenon of Time Dilation. Time runs different for different people! It seems different for different observers, however most of the time we forget that time is just the distance travelled in space.  Let’s delve into it more:

2-star ship, 1 in motion and 1 in rest.  Both the ships fire a laser beam to the target. The moving ship fire a laser light when it passes through the stationary ship. According to Einstein, the speed of the laser light doesn’t depend on the motion of the ship, so we see both the beams travel side by side at the same speed. The laser beam from the stationary ship would travel more distance and therefore it takes more time to reach the target. Distance from a source to target for a moving ship is very less.

To make the speed same for both the ship, we need to change in distance and time. Speed is the just the distance measure in a time.

Speed==Distance/Time

For a moving ship the distance covered is 3 km and time taken is 1 sec for a light beam and for a stationary ship, the distance covered is 6 km and time taken is almost double the moving ship. For a stationary ship 2 sec are passed to hit the same target. 2 sec are taken by a stationary ship to hit the target which was hit in 1 sec by the moving ship.

Moving clock appears to run slow!


Twin Paradox

Imagine, on Earth there two twins. There is a space rocket travelling with the speed V, which is nearer to the speed of light. One twin sits on the space rocket and travel all along for the period of 5 years with the velocity V. He travelled a total distance of 3 light years in 5 years. He then takes a return journey to his twin brother, on the earth. He takes another 5 years to return to the earth with the speed V. They reunited after 10 years.

The twin on the earth doesn’t move in space; he only travel in time and that is 10 years on earth.  The other twin on space craft travel to the space and then return back to the earth. The total distance he covered was 3 light years in 10 years period. The moving twin covered the more distance in the same time period. Thus, it appears his clock moves slow and he gains ageing late. Though, the time spent is the same for both of them. One gains many accomplishments, knowledge and wisdom in less age while the others take whole years of life and don’t reach near to him. Some surely do time travel in life!

In ancient scriptures, I Human years== 1 Divine day (day & night) and 360 divine days ==1 Divine years.  When humans complete 1 years, Devas complete 1 day. That’s why they appears to us immortal!

When you are detached from this 3-dimensional world, you reached to the higher dimension, out of this space-time. You have the clarity of life and its events which helps you to join the dots of past, present and future. According to scriptures, there are 7 Lokas existed between Earth and the Sun and ultimate aim of every soul is to reach the Sun. Sun is the Atma, the energy of the source of creation. This is the first energy or vibration that occurred in eternal ocean of time. Incapable in deciphering, this was the timeless state of nothingness.  Brahman, Hirayangarbha or Mahakala is that ecstatic, eternal and blissful energy state which is all pervading.

Ancient scriptures say about the elementary particle composition of this “Universe”. “Sun and the rest of the universe are woven in string. What is that string that is Vayu.” Vayu that take the shape of every object in the universe. Vayu is not simple English air; in Vedic Sanskrit Vayu means which is all pervading. The whole universe is woven in a string. At elementary level, particles are associated with each other. These are the different combinations of energies which forms matter particles of this universe. There are 73% of energies are unmanifested, incapable to decipher in the present scenario. Needs enormous amount of temperature and pressure to create disturbance at energy level. 

Principals of nature remain constant everywhere. Nature changes other variants to make its laws constant. One Major principle of nature is first you see the cause and then see the effect. It applies on whole cosmos.


Let’s take an example for better understanding. If there are 2 stars A and B. A is 10 lightyears farther from an observer and B is 3 lightyears. If some event occurred at A and after a year another event occurred at B, which event we would see first? Event B would reach us before because it’s only a 3 lightyears father. Event A is still travelling and it’s still 6 years to see that event.


What happen if one event caused another event to happen? Can you see later event before you see the former?
The answer is No.  The event of A causes the event on B to happen.  Light from A comes direct to us. Event B doesn’t happen until the information for the causes arrived from A. The light cannot travel from A to B and then reaches to us.  So, you cannot see the effect happened on B before the cause reaches to it from A.




Take a journey to an ultimate quest of life: Time
