Motion Out of Time: Single Speed Hypothesis
Temesgen Degu
This study delves into the concept of velocity within the context of the physical interpretation of acceleration and deceleration for objects in motion through space.A thought experiment involving a marble and a photon is utilized to propose the hypothesis that all objects in space, inherently, do not take time to move from a specific source to a destination.Through a series of methodically structured thought experiments, this hypothesis and the accompanying conclusions are explored and validated.Newton's first law of motion serves as the basis for these scenarios, enabling logical conclusions to be drawn.Based on the arguments presented, this hypothesis is used to provide a novel interpretation of quantum mechanics.The methodology emphasizes logical reasoning over detailed mathematical formulations, offering a more accessible presentation.Consider two entities: a photon and a marble.Both the photon and the marble are set to travel 100 meters in a straight line within the same dimension and in a vacuum.Since a photon travels at the speed of light, it takes approximately 0.0000003336 seconds for the photon to cover the distance.In contrast, assuming the marble is initially traveling at a speed of 40 meters per second in this thought experiment, it takes 2.5 seconds for the marble to complete the 100 meters.This raises a question: The photon covered the distance in 0.0000003336 seconds, while the marble took 2.5 seconds.In other words, the marble took approximately 2.4999996664 additional seconds to complete the distance compared to the photon.What accounts for this extra time taken by the marble?Consider the following analogy: Mrs. Bob has two sons, Eric and Smith, with Eric being the elder child in the household.Mrs. Bob typically sends Eric to buy groceries from a supermarket located a few blocks away from her house.Eric always takes about 20 minutes to purchase the groceries and return.One day, when Eric was unavailable, Mrs. Bob sent her younger son, Smith, instead.Smith left the house with a list of groceries, just as Eric would.However, unlike Eric, Smith returned after 45 minutes.Mrs. Bob noticed this significant difference in timing between the two and asked Smith the question: "Why did you take so long?Eric would return in 20 minutes."If Smith were to respond, he might say: "I couldn't find some of the items, so I had to go to another supermarket, which is farther away," "There was a long line at the checkout," "It took me a while to locate some items in the supermarket," "The supermarket was closed, so I had to wait for 15 minutes until it opened," "I ran into a friend on the way and we chatted for a while," and so forth.Smith could provide multiple reasons to account for his delay.However, all
