Does physics recognize the particle of light separately from the wave of light? [closed]
To frame this question, we need to assume that time freezes when traveling at the speed of light. This is theoretically congruent with Einstein's theory of relativity and the theory of time dilation, ...

Would infinite time elapse relative to an outside observer if an object was completely at rest?
Here's my reasoning... time dilation due to velocity: t'=t√(1-v^2) v expressed as a % of the speed of light. If you are moving through distance at the speed of light, to an observer at rest relative ...

Slowing of time under gravity
I am not calling this gravitational time dilation because that is a relativistic effect due to the equivalence principle. Now imagine two light clocks (a clock that ticks due to light) are placed ...

Confused about the concept of time and time dilation [duplicate]
I am having a hard time understanding what is time. If scientists define time as a multiple of caesium frequency, then time itself is dependent on motion, so what if I have a number of particles that ...

Is gravitational time dilation different from other forms of time dilation?
Is gravitational time dilation caused by gravity, or is it an effect of the inertial force caused by gravity?
Is gravitational time dilation fundamentally different from time dilation due to ...

Does a black hole have enough time to actually form a singularity?
I am trying to wrap my head around black holes, singularties and hawking radiation. Physics.se contains many intresting questions and answers, but from none I could so far read about the interaction ...

Does gravitational redshift imply gravitation time dilation?
The EEP is used to justify that if an observer on the ground shoots a beam of light towards a tower, then when the light reaches the tower, it will be red shifted. This is because of what happens in ...
