As I knew that MDT would first be violently rejected in our postmodern, antiphysics agae, and then ultimately claimed to be self-evident and obvious by the conscienceless, mere mathematicians, I made sure to keep a track record of its development, posting in immutable usenet groups. While anonymous antitheorists can play around with, delete, and edit my posts (preseting physical potsualtes and equations dx4/dt=ic) here so as to protect the greater good of the groupthink funding for giant voids, parallel universe, and multiverses, they cannot touch them out on the usenet; at least not without far, far more effort.
Below is a post (now edited as I now see that the fourth dimension is not time, but time, as measured on our ticking watches, is an emergent phenomena because dx4/dt=ic) from 08-29-2006, 06:32 AM:

Moving Dimensions Theory & On The Advancement Of Physics
Physics has been furthered far more often by a rugged individual acknowledging the simple and obvious in a pursuit of the truth than book-keepers-in-training playing games in the abstruse in pursuit of tenure. The advancement of physics has ever depended far more on
logic, reason, and Truth than government grants, tenure, group think, peer-reviewed journals, and aging bureaucracies. The courage to state, "That is the way things are because that is the way things are," has lead to far more physics than the contemporary, "things can't be that way because the math dictates that we live in thirty-three dimensions and four are curled up, and that is what NSF is funding."
When nobody could measure nor detect the supposed ether, Einstein proclaimed, "there is no ether." When experiments showed that light existed only in quantized packets, Einstein proclaimed that light only existed in quantized packets, and he won the Nobel Prize. When spectra from atoms showed discreet energies, Niels Bohr proclaimed that
electrons orbits were quantized, and he received a Nobel Prize. When Maxwell's Equations had a recurring constant, Maxwell used c to denote it, and Einstein proclaimed that the speed of light must be constant for all observers--and so Special Relativity was born. (MDT now provides the elementary foundations from where Einstein's postulates come form). When Einstein juxtaposed objects falling towards the earth getting closer together with the fact that two people starting at the equator, walking on
originally parallel lines of longitude towards the North Pole, would come together because they were walking on a curved surface, Einstein proclaimed that the space-time around a massive object must also be curved. This simple, *physical* analogy, along with Einstein's realization that the force of gravity would be rendered null in free-fall, lead to General Relativity.
And so it is that in the above paragraph you have the roots of the greatest achievements of physics in the past 100+ years, dwarfing String Theory, Loop Quantum Gravity, and thousands of their Landscape/Multiversevariatons, which deal in the abstruse, complicated, muddled, and mythological worlds which are safe from physics simple rigor.
Moving Dimensions Theory (dx4/dt=ic)returns us to simpler times. It starts with the simple and keeps it simple. Light travels with a maximum velocity of c, because the fourth dimension is expanding at a rate relative to
the three spatial dimensions at the velocity of c. A photon expands through space in a spherically symmetric manner. This is because the fourth dimension expands through the three spatial dimensions in a spherically symmetric manner. Energy and mass are equivalent, expressed
by E=mc^2, because energy is nothing more than mass rotated into the expanding fourth dimension. The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen effect (EPR) effect, which calls instantaneous action at a distance "spooky," can be
accounted for by the expanding dimension-as a point expands, it is yet a single locale in that dimension, and hence though separated by distance in space, interacting particles may be in the same place in the time dimension, and hence connected. The null vector of the photon,
which remains 0 no matter how far the photon travels in space-time, may be accounted for by the fact that the fourth dimension is moving, and thus the only way to stay still in the four dimensions is to move with
along with the expanding dimension. In Lorentzian Transformations, there is no way for an object to be rotated into the time dimension without it moving-this can be explained by the fact that the time dimension is expanding. All wave-particle duality can be seen as the
result of the universe's existence upon a reality that has three stationary spatial dimensions and one expanding time dimension-when matter exists in the stationary dimensions, it is seen as mass, or a particle. When matter exists in the time dimension it is seen as wave, or a photon, or energy. Depending how we choose to observer matter
determines whether we observe its wave or particle properties. Photons are quantized bundles of energy that propagate at the velocity of c-this is because the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions in a quantized manner, in units of Planck's
length at the rate of c. The Second Law of Thermodyamics, or the law of Entropy, states that the universe tends towards disorder. This is because the fourth dimension is expanding in a spherically symmetric manner, constantly carrying all photons and interacting particles away
from one another-thus a drop of food coloring in a pool will be carried outward and evenly distributed. In 1949 Godel published a paper showing that within the theory of relativity, time as we understand it, does not exist. Einstein recognized Godel's paper as "an important
contribution to the general theory of relativity," and since then physicists have not been able to find any logical shortcomings in Godel's work, and nobody has been able to account for the existence of time. But the Theory of Moving Dimensions accounts for time as we know
it by showing that it is an emergent property of the underlying dimension's intrinsic relative movement. Relativity becomes increasingly exact at long-length scales but fails at short ones because space-time itself is quantized, as the fourth dimension is expanding in units of the Planck length, giving rise to nonlocality and time and all its arrows and asymmetries.
The concept of general relativity's smooth geometry, at large scales, disappears on short-distance scales-this has been a problem to string theorists, but only because they were never bold enough to recognize that's the way it is because that's the way it is. Realizing this might have lead one of them to see that the fourth dimension is expanding at a rate of c relative to the three spatial dimensions. So it is seen that Moving Dimensions Theory offers a simple model upon which all known phenomena of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics may rest. And because the underlying architecture of the universe is quantized-because the fourth dimension expands at the rate of c in units of the Planck length relative to the three spatial dimensions, quantum mechanics works for the small, while general relativity works for the large. That is the way it is because that is the way it is-this was the realization that lead to the postulate of MDT: the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.
Are New Ideas Important in Physics?
String theorists don't make predictions, they make excuses.
-Richard Feynman
An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: What does happen is that the opponents gradually die out. -Max Planck
....I do feel strongly that this is nonsense! ...I think all this superstring stuff is crazy and is in the wrong direction. ... I don't like it that they're not calculating anything. ...why are the masses of the various particles such as quarks what they are? All these numbers ... have no explanations in these string theories - absolutely none! ... -Richard Feynman in Davies and Brown, Superstrings, Cambridge 1988, pp. 194-195.
String theory is the Enron of physics, and like Enron, it is but the tip of the iceberg of the widespread group-think decline. Where Enron and Worldcom and Global Crossing lied to plunder pensions and investors, String Theory lies to plunder tax, tenure, titles, and tuition dollars. With millions of NSF dollars at stake, and billions more in the way of tax and tuition, fashion and group-think are now held superior to logic and reason in physics. And as in all totalitarian systems which hold
themselves above logic, reason, truth, justice, and practicality, the worst are promoted, while the best are exiled. The group-think sycophants get the postdocs, while the indie physicists must forage on their own, as the sycophantic fanboys are sent forth to castigate and impugn the rugged, independent physicist.
Are new ideas important in physics as prominent physicists so often proclaim? If so, then why are young scientists with new ideas based in logic, reason, and reality, so often castigated, impugned, and crucified while those who quietly, passively, and uncreatively accept the nonsensical, none-physics, crackpot mythologies of String Theory and M-Theory rewarded with vast salaries, health benefits, TV shows, book deals, magazine covers, and tenure?
I would very much like to discuss my new theory here, but I am forbidden from even mentioning its name, as the String Theorists and other fashionistas do not approve of theories with postulates based in logic and reason. And so their multi-billion dollar myth is perpetuated at the expense of logic, reason, and physics.
But time is on our side. And what is time? I am not allowed to say, as my theory is banned for the moment.
The current state of physics has several Prominent Physicists and Great Thinkers spinning in their graves:
The world we have made as a result of the level of thinking we have done thus far creates problems we cannot solve at the same level of thinking at which we created them. -Albert Einstein
Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by the age of eighteen. -Albert Einstein
The mere formulation of a problem is far more often essential than its solution, which may be merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skill. To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle requires creative imagination and marks real advances in science. -Albert Einstein
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. -Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein's three rules of work:
1. Out of clutter, find simplicity. dx4/dt=ic!!
2. From discord, find harmony. dx4/dt=ic!!
3. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity. dx4/dt=ic!!
Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.
-Albert Einstein
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious-it is the source of all true art and science. -Albert Einstein
Science and art belong to the whole world, and before them vanish the barriers of nationality. -Goethe
It is the tension between creativity and skepticism that has produced the stunning and unexpected findings of science. -Carl Sagan
Inventions have long since reached their limit, and I see no hope for further development. -Julius Sextus Frontinus, Highly regarded engineer in Rome, 1st century A.D.
And if everybody says that you are wrong, then you are one step ahead. But there is one situation which is better still, when everyone begins to laugh about you, then you know you are two steps ahead. Albert
Szent-Gyorgi (Nobel-prize winning biochemist who discovered vitamin C)
One cannot step twice into the same river. -Heraclitus
While the rational mind is important, we gain a new perspective when we learn how many of the greatest scientific insights, discoveries, and revolutionary inventions appeared first to their creators as fantasies,
dreams, trances, lightening-flash insights, and other non-ordinary states of consciousness. -Willis Harman and Howard Rheingold
"Let us learn to dream, gentlemen." -Kekule, famous for his
dream-inspired scientific breakthrough-discovering the molecular structure of benzene, advised his fellow scientists:
Whenever you look at a piece of work and you think the fellow was crazy, then you want to pay some attention to that. One of you is likely to be, and you had better find out which one it is. It makes an awful lot of difference. -Charles Franklin Kettering (1876-1958)
U.S. engineer and inventor.
An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail. -Dr. Edwin Land
All sciences are now under the obligation to prepare the ground for then future task of the philosopher, which is to solve the problem of value, to determine the true hierarchy of values. -Friedrich Nietzsche
I wish to be at any time hereafter only a yea-sayer!
-Friedrich Nietzsche
We must be physicists in order to be creative since so far codes of values and ideals have been constructed in ignorance of physics or even in contradiction to physics. -Friedrich Nietzsche
A thinker sees his own actions as experiments and questions.. as attempts to find out something. Success and failure are for him answers above all. -Friedrich Nietzsche
There are no facts, only interpretations. -Friedrich Nietzsche
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
-Isaac Newton
Max Planck, the father of quantum theory, felt that the pioneer scientist must have a vivid intuitive imagination, for new ideas are not generated by deduction, but by "artistically creative imagination."
In "Shorter Bartlett's Familiar Quotations," by John Bartlett, 1937, 1980, 1992.
It is by intuition that we discover and by logic we prove. -Henri Poincaré, Mathematician
Knowledge has three degrees-opinion, science, and illumination. The means or instrument of the first is sense; of the second, dialectic; of the third, intuition. This last is absolute knowledge founded on the identity of the mind knowing with the object known. -Plotinus
If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it. -Albert Einstein
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants. -Isaac Newton
Max Planck, the father of quantum theory, felt that the pioneer scientist must have "a vivid intuitive imagination, for new ideas are not generated by deduction, but by artistically creative imagination."
An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: What does happen is that the opponents gradually die out. -Max Planck
It was bad enough, they say, when string theorists treated nonbelievers as though they were a little slow-witted. Now, it seems, at least some superstring advocates are ready to abandon the essential definition of science itself on the basis that string theory is too important to be hampered by old-fashioned notions of experimental proof. - Michael Lemonick, Time Magazine, The Unraveling of String Theory, August 2006
In the mood for some no-holds-barred gossip or a nasty screed? Then start browsing the physics blogosphere, where some exceedingly smart people are spending an inordinate amount of time belittling one another. Alas, even this magazine has come under attack. The cause of all the commotion? Some nervy upstarts are questioning the validity of string theory, which is to physics what Wal-Mart is to retail: the biggest thing around, dominant for more than 20 years now. And woe unto anyone who doubts the orthodoxy.... Tim Folger, Tangled Up In Strings-Discover Magazine
The Scientific American review (of Peter Woit's Not Even Wrong) is by George Johnson and entitled The Inelegant Universe. Johnson notes one of his pieces for the New York Times six years ago carries what he now sees as an embarassing headline: "Physicists Finally Find a Way to
Test Superstring Theory" (in his defense, this kind of headline is still appearing in over-hyped articles about string theory to this day). I've been a bit surprised at how friendly a reception Smolin's book and mine have been getting so far from science writers. I think one reason for this is that many of them have repeatedly over the last twenty years written articles about string theory that repeat a lot of the hype promising imminent success in producing predictions. They've now been burned too many times and are very open to listening to the critics. -Peter Woit's Rockin' Blog Not Even Wrong,
In his autobiography Einstein said (I quotes this in the MDT paper which FQXI roundly snubbed/ignored,as they exiled that classical psirit of science and replaced it with science recreated in tehir own snarky, tyrannical, groupthink antitheorist image, as they prefer multiverses and giant voids over classical, epic physics):
Before I enter upon a critique of mechanics as a foundation of physics, something of a broadly general nature will first have to be said concerning the points of view according to which it is possible to
criticize physical theories at all. The first point of view is obvious: The theory must not contradict empirical facts. However evident this demand may in the first place appear, its application turns out to be quite delicate. For it is often, perhaps even always, possible to adhere to a general theoretical foundation by securing the adaption of the theory to the facts by means of artificial additional assumptions. In any case, however, this first point of view is concerned with the confirmation of the theoretical foundation by the available empirical
facts.
The second point of view is not concerned with the relation to the material of observation but with the premises of the theory itself, with what may briefly but vaguely be characterized as the "naturalness" or " logical simplicity" of the premises (of the basic concepts and of the relations between these which are taken as a basis). This point of view, an exact formulation of which meets with great difficulties, has played an important role in the selection and evaluation of theories since time immemorial. The problem here is not simply one of a kind of enumeration of the logically independent premises (if anything like this were at all unequivocally possible), but that of a kind of reciprocal weighing of incommeasurable qualities. Furthermore, among theories of equally "simple" foundation that one is to be taken as superior which most sharply delimits the qualities of system in the abstract (i.e., contains that most definite claims). Of the "realm" of theories I need not speak here, inasmuch as we are confining ourselves to such theories whose object is the totality of all physical appearances. The second point of view may briefly be characterized as concerning itself with the "inner perfection" of the theory, whereas the first point of view refers to the "external confirmation." The following I reckon as also belonging to the "inner perfection" of a theory: we prize a theory more highly if, from the logical standpoint, it is not the result of an arbitrary choice among theories which, among themselves, are of equal value and analogously constructed." --Albert Einstein: Philosopher-Scientist, Volume One, 1949, Autobiographical Notes, p 21--23, Open Court, Cambridge University Press.

P.S. In the attached paper (which I attach yet again so as to demontrate how FQXI members constitently refuse to disucss Scientific American and the MDT theory which unifies Einstein/Entanglement), please see how the latest cover story in Scientfic American is resolved via MDT!!!
Was Einstein Wrong?: A Quantum Threat to Special Relativity. Entanglement, like many quantum effects, violates some of our deepest intuitions about the world. It may also undermine Einstein's special theory of relativity. By David Z Albert and Rivka Galchen

Both entanglement and relativity walk hand-in-hand in MDT, just as they do in our physical reality. See the attached paper. Finally qm and relativity are unified in our theories and physical philosophies with MDT's simple model.
