What causes time to slow down near blackholes and in fast rocketships? Scientists know it does but why? Open to all answers.
I want the actual why.

upper limit of the speed of light is only correlation..not causation.
just because we can't measure inertial mass directly without it deacceleration doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
remember if the higgs boson is the force responsible for giving matter mass and then speeing really fast through the higgs field adds more mass to an object but still that doesn't explain how.
So here's a question: Is inertia a force outside of the particle? All mass comes from outside in the form of higgs bosons.
If that reasoning is true then how does the electromagnetic force interact with the higgs boson field?
Nevertheless, relativity is a direct outcome of the fact that light has an upper limit to its velocity in this universe.For Harte: upper limit of the speed of light is only correlation..not causation.
For Einstein: just because we can't measure inertial mass directly without it deacceleration doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
I'm not acquainted with exactly how the Higgs field works. But I can tell you that how it works was already mapped out mathematically before the Higgs boson was found. That's why they were looking for it - to see if they had the right model.remember if the higgs boson is the force responsible for giving matter mass and then speeing really fast through the higgs field adds more mass to an object but still that doesn't explain how. Like how a photon is absorbed by an electron orbit. Since most mass of the atom is in the nucleus, how does the nucleus absorb the higgs field? Obviously higgs bosons aren't electromagnetic so how?
Don't know, but I doubt it. I think it's intrinsic in the field, not an affect of assymetry.Think we can safely assume that asymmetries in the background higgs field produce inertial and gravitational mass. Is that too much of a speculation? Is that why there is a resistance to acceleration/deacceleration?
I told you before that the mass gain is only observed by the person in a different reference frame. It's not a gain to the observed, and it is simply the result of (ultimately) the fact that light has an upper speed limit.That idea seems to violate conservation as with a boat wake, you have water in front that gathers, and then a wake behind it with less water. So, where would the symmetry be with a mass gain? Gains in one area has to be balanced by a lack in another. Is the lack(if exists) negative energy? That slows time.
Are we really witnessing two situations but through an inertial frame?
No, Doppler shift is an ordinary thing that can be observed with any moving wave source. Happens all the time with sound waves.Is doppler shifting a result of the two separate inertial frames? Stuff moves towards ya and ya get blueshifting, away, red. Is that an indicator of a symmetry in the higgs boson field of a moving object?
be nice. momentum obviously exists. Let's use that instead. does momentum exist?
