From relativistic time dilation to psychological time perception: an approach and model, driven by the theory of relativity, to combine the physical time with the time perceived while experiencing different situations.

Abstract

A model, driven by the Einstein's theories of relativity, is suggested. This model tends to correlate the relativistic view on time dilation with the current models and conclusions on time perception. The model uses energy ratios instead of geometrical transformations to approach and express time dilation. Brain mechanisms like the arousal mechanism and the attention mechanism are interpreted and combined. Matrices of order two are generated to contain the time dilation between two observers, from the point of view of a third observer. The matrices are used to transform an observer time to another observer time. Correlations with the official time dilation equations are given in the appendix.

Combination of time dilation and gravitational time dilation

“…The equation presented in this section was used to build a model on time perception [2]. This section focuses only on the energy ratio to calculate time dilation.…”

“…(7). The method to obtain this ratio and the reason to add a square root around it are explained in [2].…”
