Abstract

A number of studies indicate that spacetime may have properties resembling that of a superfluid, suggesting that percolation theory may provide a useful approach to studying the relationship between velocity and time. By hypothesizing that the effect described by the Lorentz factor may represent an increase in the viscosity of spacetime, it was possible to model time dilation in terms of the movement of a fluid through porous media. Using a random resistor network to equate superfluid percolation with conductance, it is shown that the Lorentz factor corresponds to a probability function involving the phase transition of the superfluid to a normal fluid with insulating properties.
