THE ORIGIN OF RELATIVITY
At the close of 1900s it was obvious that light travels in a constant speed , so it suggested to some physicist that bodies contract at the direction of motion and clock slows down.
But no body realized that the time was relative .Then how Einstein became convinced that the time was relative ? he was no prominant scientist . Did he travel in the speed of light ? did he had astral body ? To understand this puzzle we look at mythologies , in mythologies the phenomena of relative time is very common .Following are some examples :
in Hindu mythology, the Mahabharata mentions the story of the King Revaita, who travels to heaven to meet the creator Brahma and is shocked to learn that many ages have passed when he returns to Earth. Another one of the earliest known stories to involve traveling forwards in time to a distant future was the Japanese tale of "Urashima Tarō",[4] first described in the Nihongi (720). It was about a young fisherman named Urashima Taro who visits an undersea palace and stays there for three days. After returning home to his village, he finds himself three hundred years in the future, where he is long forgotten, his house in ruins, and his family long dead. Another very old example of this type of story can be found in the Talmud with the story of Honi HaM'agel who went to sleep for 70 years and woke up to a world where his grandchildren were grandparents and where all his friends and family were deceased. More recently, Washington Irving's famous 1819 story "Rip Van Winkle" deals with a similar concept, telling the tale of a man named Rip Van Winkle who takes a nap at a mountain and wakes up twenty years in the future, where he has been forgotten, his wife deceased, and his daughter grown up.
In Sufism relative time is also found , Sufis in their trance used to visit the celestial orbs ( some times other worlds ) and talk to God face to face ( as in Dante's divine comedy)during late night prayers and on returnig to physical plane they used to find that the time was dilated. Hindu yogis also said tjhey used to go to the Astral plane during doing yoga.
Now Einstein was a reader of Vedanta and a medicant , a dervish , in this way he was a Sufi .So he used to had sufi like extravaganza . While he used to meditate he could see that he is going to the celstial orbs ( or astral plane ) meeting the astral beings and when returning to earth he would find that the time is dilated.
Origin of time dilation theory --- from the sufi like exprience he knew that time was relative , so when he looked at the Lorentz transformations he realized that they meant relative time
origin of Quantum theory --------- he had astral(light) body which could travel to the astral plane and meet the astral(light) beings , from his experience of meeting astral beings he understood nature of light & quanta.
