A relevant analogy is piezoelectric materials, which convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. The phase shift in oscillations plays a key role in this conversion, influencing timing and energy distribution.
This relationship is described by:
Δt′ = (x°/f)/360
where x∘ is the phase shift in degrees and f is the original oscillation frequency. In piezoelectric materials, mechanical force alters phase oscillations, affecting energy conversion timing.
Since electromagnetic oscillations (and mechanical oscillations) are sensitive to force-induced deformations, phase shifts manifest as time distortions. This provides a direct method for calculating time dilation from phase measurements, challenging conventional relativistic interpretations by providing a tangible, testable mechanism for time distortion.
