Final Considerations on Force, Deformation, and Time Distortion

 

All clocks—mechanical, electronic, or atomic—are composed of materials that undergo deformation under external forces. These deformations alter oscillator frequencies, leading to shifts in oscillation cycles.

 

When an external force deforms the oscillator material, the frequency changes, creating a phase shift expressed as:

 

Δt′ = (x°/f)/360

 

This empirical relationship provides a direct link between force-induced deformations and time distortions, making the effect verifiable through phase measurements. This interpretation challenges traditional relativistic notions by presenting time dilation as a tangible material response rather than an abstract spacetime transformation.
