Cool Time Experiment

This instructable is about a time experiment. Don't criticize me if you don't think this works because I'm just 13 and it just works when I do this experiment. The results are usually never the same because it's weird like that. I also theorized that time in relation to the position of the sun changes weather time for the testing watch slows down or speeds up.
 

Step 1: Materials

These are the things you will need for the time experiment.

2- stop watches calibrated the same with the strings on them
2- working and accurate hands
1- time to do this (like 2 mins)
1- open space

It's probably just the centrifugal force on the components on the watch that cause the time change.

.  The speed of your stopwatch* is such a small fraction of the speed of light that you will not be able to detect contraction with a manual stopwatch.


*Certainly less than the speed of sound or you would hear the sonic boom.

I think you're just losing/gaining time by not being able to start/stop the watches at exactly the same time. While that's the most likely case, it may also be that the stop watches you're using weren't meant to be operated while being spun in a circle and it effects their ability to accurately keep time.

We made this experiment at school maybe 6 years ago, using RC watch, so we could start/stop both at the same time. The result was that the spinning watch was going slower.

it may also be that the stop watches you're using weren't meant to be operated while being spun in a circle and it effects their ability to accurately keep time.
I would tend to say that this statement is true.

I never thought that spinning the watch would kind of ruin the time system, thanks for telling me.

[JakeTobak]

I don't know that it does, I'm just trying to think of possible explanations for your results.

Good work, techno guy. Make many experiments, perhaps some day your name will be on a par with the great scientists.

I don't think this will make me famous, but my theoretical reactor, the joule reactor, might make me famous.

Congratulations. The life is made from dreams; people that has not dreams, is not alive. Don't seek fame, it will not make you happy.

"Before 12:00 pm time outside the watch slows down, but after 12:00 pm time outside the watch speeds up". Nice concept to think about. You are working in the tracks of Stephen Hawking. Good going Techno Guy.

Thanks artworker

you being 13 has nothing to do with people criticizing you here. ( i really wish you young folk would quit trying that tactic, if you're old enough to post an ible here, you're old enough to do science correctly. if you're not doing science correctly, then you're going to get told as such)

this has nothing to do with relativity.
