The Time Dilation Audit

This organisations project is to audit the original logic and subsequent apparent confirmations of the time dilation concept within Special and General Relativity theory. The allocation of research funding, the under lying context of research and therefore the productivity of that research depends upon this fundamental perception of reality. The validity of time dilation is therefore a matter of extreme public interest, all be it that there is minimal actual public engagement. The current findings of this audit give cause for grave concern and the audit is calling upon the relevant scientific community to actually address this matter. The concerns to be addressed are two fold. Time dilation and curved space time concepts evolved entirely because, in the late 19th century it could not be established what formed the fixed point relative to which the speed of light traveled. Its speed some how appeared to be connected to the observer and ignored the speed of its source and any mediums that it was transmitting through. In 1905 Einstein suggested that the speed of light was the universal constant and, in which case, time and distances would have to warp to force this speed calculation fit all observations. At the time of writing, this audit finds that the speed of light (and all other forms of electro- magnetic radiation) is anchored to the back ground gravitational field through which it transmits. That explains all known observation types, ranging from signals from binary star systems down to how fiber optic gyroscopes detect earths rotation. Moving on to the subsequent reported confirmations of time dilation, the audit finds that no form of time keeping has been observed to change across a constant linear velocity difference, including for space probes. All earth based/centered observations are corrupted by the constant presence of one or more types of acceleration, which mathematically explain the observed shifts to those tests record of passing time.
