The Measurement of Time

TL;DR

This paper proposes a new definition of time measurement using high energy photons and fundamental length scales, aligning with special relativity's Lorentz transformations for macroscopic time.

Contribution

It introduces a novel approach to defining time measurement based on fundamental physical quantities, differing from traditional special relativity observer definitions.

Findings

Time measurement aligns with Lorentz transformations at macroscopic scales

A new observer definition is proposed that differs from traditional special relativity

The approach bridges fundamental physics and relativistic time measurement

Abstract

We present a definition of time measurement based on high energy photons and the fundamental length scale, and show that, for macroscopic time, it is in accord with the Lorentz transformation of special relativity. To do this we define observer in a different way than in special relativity.
