If we consider time dilation to be absolute as an effect of acceleration and distance, rather than relative as an effect of velocity, then we have a mechanism to explain gravitational time dilation without curved space-time.

The Ptolemaic model can be used with an arbitrary number of epicycles if we want to consider the Earth as the center of the universe, for example, but then we found another way. ![]()
Does your theory even cover twisted space-time?
Newton’s theory predicted the deflection of light by mass, too, but Einstein’s theory predicted that it would be twice as much as Newton’s, and Einstein won. And Shapiro’s time delay? Well, he won that one, too. I used to have your back when you were dealing with, (what was his name?)…oh ya, Tach. Remember him? Not on this one, though, RJ, sorry. Good luck! |
