A flaw in Einstein’s logic

Proposition: The Inescapability of Absolute Temporal Reference in Relativistic Frameworks

Abstract:
While Einsteinian relativity asserts the non-existence of an absolute time and posits that all temporal coordinates are frame-dependent, the coherence of the theory — and the very possibility of inter-observer communication — tacitly relies on an unacknowledged, universal temporal scaffold. This contradiction implies the necessity of an absolute time reference not as a measurable quantity within any one frame, but as an ontological precondition for the exchange and interpretation of information across frames.

Core Argument:

  1. Premise A — Relativity denies simultaneity:
    According to special and general relativity, no two observers in different frames share a common “now”; each has their own proper time, shaped by velocity and gravitational context.
  2. Premise B — Communication requires mutual coherence:
    All scientific observation, theory-testing, and intersubjective agreement presupposes that information from one frame can be meaningfully interpreted by another — e.g., via signals, measurements, or clock synchronizations.
  3. Premise C — Interpretation depends on shared reference:
    For information to be exchanged and interpreted across frames, there must be a common structure allowing events to be correlated. Without this, all communication would be disjointed or meaningless.
  4. Conclusion — Therefore, relativity presupposes a hidden absolute:
    Even while denying it outright, relativity requires an implicit absolute temporal dimension — not as a measurable local quantity, but as a background coherence enabling relativistic effects to be compared and understood.

Implication:
This contradiction suggests that absolute time is not refuted by relativity, but veiled by it. .

I am a university college lecturer and a published author who takes great delight in speculating about the nature of reality through the use of logic and imagination, i.e. thought experiments. I find it very difficult to accept some of the more lurid concepts in modern physics, e.g. the dysfunctional particle zoo at the heart of the Standard Model of the atom. Similarly, I remain unimpressed by the current definitions of dark energy and dark matter, neither of which have been identified. Furthermore, I also believe that the notion of a 'strong' and 'weak' nuclear force are entirely misleading. Personally, I consider all of the above elusive particles and mysterious forces to be more aligned to science fiction than science fact. Therefore, I have created this website in order to offer a more rational, simplified and connected vision of our universe. All of my theories are logically consistent, and all questions about the nature of the universe are resolved - apart from the biggest question of all. Why does anything exist in the first place?
