uh ok
I want the actual why.
I'm aware of all that, but why does it happen?I want the actual why.
Relativity is caused by the normalization of the 4-velocity. This normalization is an axiom of the theory of special (general) relativity and experiments encourage us to believe that theory's axioms are accurate. The 4-velocity measures the rate of the passage of time and the rate of passage of three dimensions of space (passage of space means motion.) Altogether the 4-velocity squared is always equal to the speed of light squared for any real trajectory in spacetime. If you move fast then your external time goes slower to maintain the normalized 4-velocity. If you slow down then your external time speeds up until you stop. When you stop your external time is equal to your proper time. If you stay still then the proper time you experience while still is equal to the external time measured by another person standing still with you. This is the non-relativistic limit. Proper time is how much time you think you experienced and the external time is how much time someone who watches you will say you experienced. You are always still in your own reference frame, that is the frame where it seems like the universe is moving (or not) but you are still. Relativity has to do with the way you measure time in your own frame relative to the way others will measure time when describing your motion in the reference frame where the universe is still and you are moving. If the universe is still and you and someone watching you are all still (no relative motion) then there is no relativity. If someone starts moving then their time will have to slow down as measured by the person who observes that motion but the moving person's proper time stays the same because in their frame it is the universe that is moving. If their motion increased and their external time did not decrease in kind then the 4-velocity would increase but as stated above it is subject to a universal normalization condition. Snails, planets, and spaceships all always have the same 4-velocity in spacetime. Relativity measures how much people in relative motion to each other will disagree about how much time has elapsed. This time dilation has a parallel component called length contraction and there is some highly sophisticated nuance related to Mach's principle.
I'm aware of all that, but why does it happen?
The world is running on laws that are some-what similar to a game. The script makes the laws of the game. Learn what the script is first. Higgs boson is only the grid of reference on where you can create something in a 3D program. Even Higgs Boson has a law that concepts it, a script.sure but does anyone see the connection between the higgs field and inertial mass and time dilation?
Is there a direct connection between the higgs field and spacetime?
Is there a way to alter the higgs field without fast speeds or being near large planets?
makes ya go hmm.
Is that what all the hidden techology is doing electromagnetically? So I guess the holy grail is to unify EM with higgs bosons if they're responsible for inertial masses. They certainly are for gravitational mass.
spacetime is external to mass objects(well known in physics, electrons are point particles, no width, depth and length. Is it getting it's mass from higgs bosons in spacetime or is spacetime itself a higgs field?
