Warping time with speed

(1/3) > >>

Scratch-:
I was going to talk about this in another forum but since you guys are just so cool  ;D I’m going to see what you think.

Time slows down for an object the faster it goes and time seems to speed up with the rest of the universe for that object. But how do you measure how quickly an object is moving? Speed is in reference to another object but time is not the same, you can tell which object is moving faster or slower in time. Since you can tell which object is moving faster or slower in time you can hypothesize that the object moving faster in time is moving slower in speed, and the object moving slower in time is moving faster in speed. Since we are moving around the sun and the sun moving around the galactic core it would be possible to further "Slow" an object down, effectively speeding up the time that the object experiences.

So what do you think of my idea?  8)

Corvettaholic:
Sounds kind of like Einstein's relativity theory, but I'm not terrible knowledgable on the whole thing. I'm gonna steal your idea for my next coffeehouse discussion with the guys.

Donaldson Tan:
You are trying to use time as the object of reference.. Speed is always measured relative to the observer. It makes no sense to guage speed by measuring the rate of time passing by..

Why not?

(Awww, don't steal my idea. *sniff*  :-\ :'( :P ;))

Mitch:
Exactly what Geodome said, you measure everything with velocity relative to an observer. It is bothersome and not useful to try to measure in time,
