  2. Proper time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proper_time

    The proper time interval between two events on a world line is the change in proper time, which is independent of coordinates, and is a Lorentz scalar. [1] The interval is the quantity of interest, since proper time itself is fixed only up to an arbitrary additive constant, namely the setting of the clock at some event along the world line.

  3. Time-invariant system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-invariant_system

    The system is time-invariant if and only if y 2 (t) = y 1 (t – t 0) for all time t, for all real constant t 0 and for all input x 1 (t). [1] [2] [3] Click image to expand it. In control theory, a time-invariant (TI) system has a time-dependent system function that is not a direct function of time.

    Time: The interval between two events present on the worldline of a single clock is called proper time, an important invariant of special relativity. As the origin of the muon at A and the encounter with Earth at D is on the muon's worldline, only a clock comoving with the muon and thus resting in S′ can indicate the proper time T′ 0 =AD.

    An example of this is the aging and wear of electronic components, which happens on a scale of years, and thus does not result in any behaviour qualitatively different from that observed in a time invariant system: day-to-day, they are effectively time invariant, though year to year, the parameters may change.

    They claim that there are versions of relativity which are consistent with experiment but have a definition of time where the "speed" of light is not constant. They develop one such version called common relativity which is more convenient for performing calculations for "relativistic many body problems" than using special relativity.

    The arclength parameter is called proper time and usually denoted τ. The length of M is called the proper time of the particle. If the worldline M is a line segment, then the particle is said to be in free fall. [1]: 62–63 A world line traces out the path of a single point in spacetime.

    the single most important determinant of effect size was whether behavior-contingent rewards were delivered immediately or only after a time delay (Jennifer P. Lussier et al. 2006). In the case of eating, present-biased preferences typically promote unhealthy choices because the
