Dr. E's MDT Theory

Thank you for your reply. I do appreciate that you must be very busy reading all of the posts on your thread.

I should explain a misunderstanding of the Prime Quaternion model.

Dr. E said "Are these truly three different dimensions? Or are they simply the same dimension, but related via linear, non-linear, or quantum relations? Personally, IF there was another time dimension, I would expect it to involve complex numbers (imaginary time). Also, a true Quaternion is four dimensional, and is not large enough to contain extra time dimensions - if you have manipulated equations to say something different, then those equations defy common sense."

I am not saying that there is another time dimension. I am saying that there are 3 vector spatio-energetic dimensions and one scalar spatio-energetic dimension.That is all.This is the quaternion space.Motion along the 4th spatio-energetic dimension gives subjective time, as a continuous motion observed in 3D vector space is related to an assumed continuous change in time.

There are 3 different mental constructs and abstract mathematical time, all recognised as ways that time is interpreted but not actually existing in objective reality. These are not part of the objective reality of quaternion space but the way it is interpreted to form subjective reality. For example Historical time which is past, present and future spread along a time line. These are all imaginary concepts formed by the mind to deal with sequential spatial change. The grandfather paradox and other time travel paradoxes occur because historical time is not objective physical reality.Subjective time is another assumption already explained above. Positional time imagines the 4th dimension as a time dimension along which matter progresses.This works as an approximation for motion of macroscopic objects but not sub atomic particles which move differently.

Afore and aft along the 4th dimension is more 3 dimensional space (not time). This is because it is not a time dimension but another spatio-energetic dimension. This "other space" on either side of visible 3D space does not form a part of that visible 3D space until the matter of the universe passes through it. Here are the extra degrees of freedom available to sub atomic particles.

A sub atomic particle oscillates into afore space and back to visible space. From our 3D perspective the afore space exists within the particle.If 3D space is flattened so that the 4th dimension can be visualised, the particle is leaving the plane of visible 3D space and entering space outside of that 3D space and then returning.Materialising and de-materializing in visible 3D space.

I think that this alternative model also is able to explain many fundamental questions but has some very significant differences from your own. The objections I have read to it so far on this web site seem to be based on misunderstanding of the model (perhaps due to my inadequate explanation) rather than to inadequacy the model itself.

We both see the 4th dimension and its understanding as a crucial element. We both involve motion with that dimension.You suggesting that the dimension itself is expanding carrying matter and light with it and I am suggesting that matter and light are passing along the static dimension.I think that we are both correct in identifying that lack of adequate comprehension of that dimension is the cause of current misunderstandings in physics. Also in identifying that motion of all matter and light is intimately involved with that dimension. I think it is significant that we have independently come to these conclusions.Obviously whether the universe is expanding or contracting are big differences of opinion that will not be easily changed since they are integral to our own models. Therefore I do not see these as rival models but belong to very different theoretical scenarios explaining the universe.The similarity between them, pointed out previously, is however interesting and I think significant.

Dear Georgina,

I was the one who misunderstood your ideas, not Dr. E.

You and Dr. E are both proposing ways to fix the fourth dimension. As an outsider to both theories, your theories seem to have general similarities, but specific differences. Does your theory have anything to say about a fifth dimension or hyperspace? Or is it truly a four-dimensional Quaternion?

Dear Dr. E,

A good scientist needs to be able to show what he did mathematically, and explain what he did verbally. Certainly, Lisi can "cram" all of the known particles into a Gosset E8 lattice, but do his sub-symmetries make sense? Can he write down the Feynman diagrams for these new particles and their interactions? Is an eight dimensional space large enough to represent reality? The original hypothesis seems logical, but the details seem lacking.

We wore cowboy boots for two reasons: 1) "When in Rome, do as Romans" (I'm a Floridian, but enjoyed acting Texan when I was in Texas), and 2) it protected our feet when the other drunks started smashing their empty beer bottles on the cement dance floor.

Sincerely, Dr. Cosmic Ray

Hi all ,

Dear Ray ,in fact you search the hyperspace to check the micro pression and the temperature ,and that for the fusion of H .In fact dear Ray do you think these hyperspaces can check the pression ,the temperature ....the comportments in this local system .

lol It could be better to go in the sun dynamics .It's there we shall check H and the fusion .

I agree too ,The E8 is not complete ,like others Lie groups it's just an extrapolation in algebras ......,its so far of the wall.

In fact there are many many superimposings of fields and spheres .

About the infinity ,it s a mathematical fractal, like pi or others infinities.The infinity is only mathematical .The lattices and the ultim spheres are specifics ,personnally there isn't infinity there .

If we insert particles in a system ,all must be studied .

Let's take for exemple a collision (LHC,ILC...) it's impossible to be sure because each particle is specific .Thus the division of mass if I can say will be difficult to encircle ,

There is no sense in this optic .In fact we are going to have a impossible system to class....the weak interactions are too complex .And the collision is not the best solution ,in fact I don't understand why this solution .

All must be thought again .You know Ray I think one thing if we divide a system ...like during a collision ...in my theory ,the velocity of rotation of the ultimate spheres system is directly proportional with mass .

Thus when we collide particles ,we divide mass ,thus we extract some spheres and their rotations ...it's there it's important ,perhaps the collision implies an other mass of the sphere which has been extracted.Thus datas are not corrects .When we collide ,we change the system thus the sphere(the particle) (this weak interaction) is under different laws after the collision ....

Steve

Ray,

You pose an interesting question.

5 dimensional hyperspace still contains a time dimension. The model I am proposing says that time is a mental construct and not objective physical reality. This dimension is therefore not time.(Even in the 5D model it is allowed for particles to move either way along the time dimension, so it is not time as we "know" it.)

According to the Prime Quaternion Model the 4th dimension is a scalar spatio-energetic dimension. It is not an additional vector spatio-energetic dimension. Its relationship to the 3 vector dimensions is of the greatest importance.The matter of the objective, material universe within the other 3 dimensions (which can be visualised as a spherical slice of 4D space) moves along the 4th dimension as the sphere of matter in space contracts.

This model therefore now already has 4 spatio-energetic dimensions, so it is not necessary to add another extra spatial dimension (number 5) to the existing 3 vector dimensions. The scalar spatio-energetic dimension provides the additional freedom for sub atomic particles to weave their paths through space beyond visible 3D space.

So yes, it is a quaternion structure, but with lots more space and no time.So very different from the current space-time continuum structure.

RE: The Greatest Puzzles in Physics

1. Nonlocality & Entanglement: Why Nonlocality? Schrodenger called "entanglement" the "characteristic trait" of quantum mechanics. Regarding the double-slit experiment which manifest' QM's nonlocality, Richard Feynman oft stated that all quantum mechanics was represented by the single experiment. What physical reality powers quantum mechanics? From where does its nonlocality and entanglement arise?

2. Why relativity? Why time dilation and length contraction? Why the Minkoswki spacetime metric? Einstein himself said that relativity yet needed its "elementary foundations." What are relativity's elementary foundations? From where does relativity's two postulates arise? Why is the velocity of light c a constant?

3. Entropy: Why entropy? Why the tendency towards disorder?

4. Time's Arrows & Assymetries: Why time? Why does it flow but one way? From where does it arise?

MDT answers all these questions with a simple *physical* model, postulate, and mathemetical equation which weaves change into the fundamental fabric of spacetime for the first time in the history of relativity: the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions at c: dx4/dt=ic.

PHYSICS' GREATEST PARADOXES:

1. THE EPR PARADOX? How can one measurement influence a distant particle instantaneoulsy? Why the nonlocality in Bell's Inequality?

2. WHY TIME IN GODEL'S BLOCK UNIVERSE/BLOCK TIME? Godel realized that if we lived in a block universe--if time travel were possible and if time were a fourth dimension-- then time as we know it could not exist. Relativity suggested that we live in a block universe, so why doesn time flow? What is special about this instant?

MDT resolves both these paradoxes with a simple *physical* postulate and mathemetical euqation which weave change into the fundamental fabric of spacetime for the first time in the history of relativity while celebrating a hitherto unsung universal invariant: the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions at c, distributing locality and fathering time: dx4/dt=ic.

Best,

Dr. E (The Real McCoy)

Dear Dr. E,

It's good that MDT answers some important questions. In my book, I answered different relevant questions with my theories.

Combining MDT with some of my ideas, I envision a hierarchy of expansion coefficients: 1) one dimension of spatio-time expanding the fastest, 2) three dimensions of spatio-space expanding the second fastest, and 3) multiple (pick a number: 6, 7 or 8?) hyperspace dimensions expanding slower yet.

Dear Spheric Steve,

I was interested in Fusion Physics in the past - although it would be cool if Pamela Mosier-Boss's research resurrects Cold Fusion. Otherwise, we will need huge lasers or huge Tokamaks. Then it becomes more of an engineering problem than a physics problem. But please don't confuse my interest in Fusion with my interest in a TOE - I am not trying to "fuse" those two fields together. I am strictly working on Exceptional TOE's (E8, E10 and E12) at the present.

Dear Georgina,

Why are your books all out of print? Even the Prime Quaternion book dated January of this year is out of print? Dr. E's MDT seems to fit with my ideas better than your Prime Quaternion model. I'm still not sure if your theory is a sub-set or a special case of one or both of our theories. Keep doing what you're doing. Every idea counts.

Sincerely, Dr. Cosmic Ray

Ray,

I was not aware that the books were listed as unavailable.Where did you spot it? I will look into the problem. I will be a distribution difficulty rather than the books themselves being out of print. Thank you for letting me know.

Hello to all ,Georgina,Dr cosmic Ray, Dr E ,Chris,

Your extrapolations are very interestings .

Dear Dr cosmic Ray ,sorry ,I am unsderstanding of course .

The TOE is evidently the research of many people .

I think that the ulniversal links is this spherization and these quantum spheres .

Of course the ultim architecture is difficult to extrapolate because the numbers of centers are important in correlation with the cosmological numbers.

I see the quantum architecture like a code for the ultim architecture in balance of our ultim sphere.But I have some questions in my theory .The time evolution and its sequences of architectural spherical system .In resume ,the space between spheres is important because we can't know the real sequence of time space .

I think that the best solution is to insert the numbers of stars and thus we shall have a concrete quantum architecture and its fields .

The numbers of spheres ,fields and volumes more the space between more the velocity of rotation of spheres directly proportional with mass .This system can be compute to have interesting extrapolations I think because the constant and the correlation quantum/cosmo is important thus a specific number and specific volumes of spheres.

This system can be in correlation with all systems ,it's foundamental ,rational and basic I think .

If we superimpose concrete systems ,we are on the good way I think .

Friendly ,

Steve ,the spheric man lol eureka lol.

Dear Georgina,

Amazon says "Out of print - Limited availability". Perhaps the problem is that it is an import, but Amazon has access to many books.

Dear Spheric Steve,

I still like fractal kissing spheres. It is simple and fundamental. Your study of cosmology is getting closer to Len Malinowski. Do not e-mail Len - someone hijacked his e-mail account.

Sincerely, Dr. Cosmic Ray

Hello Dr Cosmic Ray ,

You know Ray ,I prefer when people contacts me .I wait nothing of people you know.But I d like Some collaborations to improve my theory but in my optic of course ,I can accept some extrapolations or works but I insist on one thing ,my research is my research in complementarity of course but it's my theory .I am conscious that many people are going to be jealous and nervous against me ,it's not important .The most important is my humanistic sciences center ...the love is the only spiritual truth .And this love is everywhere .

If Mr Malinowski wants some details ,he can contact me if he want ,if he is in his work ,me too and the time is precious.

It s sad someone hijacked his email ...always the human nature ,I know but don't forget one thing ,the truth will be always one day on the road ,the good ,the well winw always .....thus don't worry Mr Malinowski ,you are going to find who hijacked your mail .It's always like that the ultim balance .

When my sciences center will be created ,all are welcome for synergies .

I don't wait anything ,my life has been so difficult since my birthday ,a crazy story ,I am a man now and I see the life differently ,indeed in the past I was too too nice ....of course many people have utilized me for profits ,I thank them ....

my theory is foundamental and will be knew because it's as that simply .

dear Ray ,I repeat but the fractal kissings spheres is not infinite and furthermore is specific in the number and the volume ....I have post many ideas ,and I hope it will be used by some people ....but I say one thing ,if some people try to copy ...I go immediately on media ,because it's my theory ,and I am going to laugh if someone try that .The spherization Theory is global ,math quantum...physic....chem....biology....astronomy ,philosophy..spirituality.....Unified Sphere ....EUREKA .It's too late for the TOE .....THE SPHERIZATION AND ITS ROTATIONS OF SPHERES IS THIS TOE ....BUT WE CAN IMPROVE IT IN COMPLEMENTARITY AND COLLABORATIONS ....

You know Ray ,you are very intelligent ,and I lijke your works because you are a very creative mind and it's the most important with the universal love .

My point of vue to evolve quickly is this one .

The complementarity is better than the individualism and its economic system more the vanity .

Thus implies a spherical collaboration to learn still and still .....if we want change this sad world ,it's in this complementarity .....like in all things.

Hope my universal message will be understood ....I am not better than an other ,I try just to unite people to change this chaotic world .The social responjsability is essential for a scientist because scientists have solutions simply.

Be sure I am going to arrive to create this center and centralize organisms and interesting people....ant act on ground for the third world .That's why I am in several humanist projects ....my friends are numerous and their hearts and ideas are exeptionals .....exeptional like my theory lol ...oh my god ,father of all things ,help me to accept my vanity .....lol

Still one thing for all ,I am not a doctor or a professor ,I have frequented several universities but I stopped before the title.The most important is to learn foundamental works and understand the dynamic around us .

Friendly Dr cosmic Ray ,it's well ,you have your doctorate you ....congratulations .Me I am a crazy man on Earth... lol

Steve

Universal Love and spherization .

Elliot,

I must admit that I have been neglecting entanglement. I am in the process of enhancing my understanding of the whole EPR - Bohm hidden variables - Bell - QM - spooky akshunaata distance thing. I think this is key to understanding how MDT will stand up. In addition to some technical stuff, I am also reading "The Age of Entanglement" by Louisa Gilder. Awesome book. It is the story behind the story. Interesting, entertaining and educational.

Hi Steve - welcome to the party.

Hello Chris. Yes! I saw that book and started reaidng it. Cool work!

The EPR Paradox embodies both entanglement and nonlocality.

Shrodenger stated that entanglement was quantum mechanics'"characteristic trait."

The double-slit experiment embodies nonlocality. Feynman stated that the double-slit experiment is representitive of all quantum mechanics.

But what causes nonlocality? What causes entanglement?

dx4/dt=ic --> the fourth dimension is expanding realtive to the three spatial dimensions, distributing locality and fathering time.

And what if the same physical model was reponsible for relativity?

Einstein stated that we yet needed relativity's fundamental foundations, as he proposed the principle of relativity without ever providing for its "elementary foundations."

The principle of relativity, as well as its two postulates, naaturally arises from dx4/dt=ic.

Consider a 4D universe wherin the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions or dx4/dt=ic. All of relativity ntaurally arises from this, as well as quantum mechanics' nonlocality.

Over the past seven months, not one, single "best and brightest" FQXI "master of the multiverse millionaire" has refuted any of the most natural, simple and logical proofs of MDT, nor even stopped by to say "hello!":

Simple proofs of MDT:

PROOF#1:

Relativity tells us that a timeless, ageless photon remains in one place in the fourth dimension.

Quantum mechanics tells us that a photon propagates as a spherically-symmetric expanding wavefront at the velocity of c.

Ergo, the fourth dimension must be expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions at the rate of c, in a spherically-symmetric manner.

The expansion of the fourth dimension is the source of nonlocality, time and all its arrows and asymmetries, c, relativity, entropy, free will, and all motion, change, and measurement, for no measurement can be made without change.

For the first time in the history of relativity, change has been wedded to the fundamental fabric of spacetime in MDT.

PROOF#2:

Einstein and Minkowski wrote x4=ict

Ergo dx4/dt=ic.

PROOF#3:

The only way to stay stationary in the three spatial dimensions is to move at c through the fourth dimension. The only way to stay stationary in the fourth dimension is to move at c through the three spatial dimensions. Ergo the fourth dimension is moving at c relative to the three spatial dimensions.

Best,

Dr. E (The Real McCoy)

Dear Dr. E,

Suppose we have three different rates of expansion? Such as the spatio-time and spatio-space that you have suggested plus a slower rate of expansion for hyperspace? Would this lead to three different measurements for time? According to MDT, what we normally call "time" is an effect caused by the difference between the expansion of spatio-time and spatio-space. According to my estimates based on Dirac's Large Numbers Hypothesis and "Dark Energy" cosmological observations, spatio-time and spatio-space may have decoupled about 10 Billion Years ago. But we would also have "ticking time" measured between the expansion of spatio-time vs. hyperspace, and that measured between spatio-space vs. hyperspace.

Would these three different types of time lead to three different types of "Scaling" observations? Is there a relationship to Scale Relativity?

Sincerely, Dr. Cosmic Ray

Thanks Dr. Cosmic Ray!

I am trying to keep MDT as simple as possible, for as Einstein stated, "everything should be made as simple as possible, but not moreso."

MDT proposes absolute rest--the three spatial dimensions; and absolute motion--the expansion of the fourth dimension at c. dx4/dt=ic. As light and time are inextricably linked, and as measurement relies on light, it is thus impossible to measure this absolute rest and motion; but to observe photons, which are in absolute motion, having zero rest mass.

From MDT's simple, elegant equation, we immediately get all of relativity, as MDT provides the "elementary foundations" for relativity that Einsetin sought. And too, we get a *physical* model for quantum mechanics' entanglement, probabilistic nature, and nonlocality (its characteristc, definitive traits), as well as entropy and time and all its arrows and assymetries. MDT provides the physical reality underlying Huygens' Principle and Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle.

I am sure there are many more applications for MDT's fundamental, novel, simple concepts of dimensions moving relative to one-another, but before I go there, I am hoping to get the following for MDT:

1) Three Scientific American cover stories on MDT (which would replace stories on bouncing universes, baby black holes, tiny, little vibrating strings and loops which nobody will ever see, and time travel races through mutiverses on Michio Kaku's/Paul Davies' time machines)

2) A Nobel Prize

3) A comment from Lee Smolin/Brian Greene/Ed Witten/some multi-millioanaire (M-theory) antitheorist on MDT's simple, elegant, triumphant beauty.

I imagine #3 will probably be the hardest to get.

Talk soon & thanks!

Dr. E (The Real McCoy)

Dear Dr. E,

I appreciate your more minimalist approach in the tradition of Einstein. I also like KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid!) and PhD (Push here, Dummy!). Because of that conservative approach, you will get the approval of "mainstream"/ "anti-theorist" Physicists before I do (if either of us does).

Admittedly, for years, I was skeptical of extra dimensions. Extra dimensions make for good science fiction stories, but how do they tie into Spacetime as we know it? You explained how they might tie into MDT.

But now that I am convinced that extra dimensions exist, I must pursue them. Maybe I'm crazy. My friend, "Spherical" Steve Dufourny has tried to convince me that a 12-dimensional E12 TOE is overkill. Is it more appropriate to pursue a simplified "dummied-down" version of Hyperspace such as Kaluza's fifth dimension, or a "fractal" effective piece of a dimension? Or is it more appropriate to pursue an "overkill" 12-dimensional theory that explains all of the known Hierarchies and Naturalness problems of Modern Physics?

Occam's razor has been stated as "entities must not be multiplied beyond necessity". And although the "simplicity" factor that Einstein spoke of is part of that wisdom, there is also a "necessity" factor. I am convinced that Hyperspace is a necessity.

My original conflict with Lisi's E8 is that it is 8-dimensional. And I am convinced that 8 dimensions are not enough to properly represent Spacetime, the Weak-brane and the Gravity-brane. Without a proper representation of the Gravity-brane, it should be impossible to reproduce Dirac's Large Number and the present value of the Gravitational Coupling. Without the Gravitational Coupling, how can Lisi call it a TOE? Necessity was omitted for sake of simplicity.

I still like MDT - even if we disagree on the importance of balance between simplicity and necessity.

Sincerely, Dr. Cosmic Ray

Hello All,

There is a wonderful book entitled Entanglement by Amir D. Aczel: Entanglement: The Unlikely Story of How Scientists, Mathematicians, and Philosphers Proved Einstein's Spookiest Theory.

At the beginning of each chapter he has quotes which all remind me of MDT's simple beauty, prfound contribution, novel utility, and deep significance:

"Alas, to wear the mantle of Galileo it is not enough that you be persecuted by an unkind establishment, you must also be right." --Robert Park

"The mathematics of quantum mechanics is straightforward, but making the connection between the mathematics and an intuitive picture of the physical world is very hard." --Tannoudji

MDT's simple postualte and equation provide a new physical model which exalts an intuitive undertsanding of nonlocality, entanglement, and relativity.

"We choose to examine a phenomenon (teh double-slit experiment) that is imppossible, absoluetly impossible to expalin in any classical way, and which has in it the heart of quantum mechanics. In reality, it contains the only mystery." --Feynman

(MDT's physical model and equation dx4/dt=ic accounts for the double slit mystery, rooted in nonlocality.)

Planck had put forward a new, previously unimagined thought, the thought of the atomistic structure of energy. --Albert Einstein

(By postulating that the expansion of the 4th dimension has a fundamental wavelength of Planck's length, MDT offers a physical model for the quantization of light and energy. Light is but matter surfing the expansion of the fourth dimension)

"The conclusions from Bell's theorem are philosophically startling; either one must totally abandon the realistic philosophy of most working scientists or dramatically revise our concept of space-time." --Abner Shimony and John Clauser

Moving Dimensions Theory provides this new concept of space-time. http://physicsmathforums.com

The underlying expanding fourth dimension gives rise to non-local phenomena.

"For me, then, this is the real problem with quantum theory: the apparently essential conflict between any sharp formulation and fundamental relativity. It may be that a real synthesis of quantum and relativity theories requires not just technical developments but radical conceptual renewal." --John Bell

Moving Dimensions Theory provides this radical conceptual renewal. http://physicsmathforums.com

"Entanglement is not one but rather the characteristic trait of quantum mechanics." --Erwin Schrodinger

MDT provides a physical model for qm's characteristic trait. The fourth dimension's expansion distributes locality; so that two photons separated in the three spatial dimensions may yet be connected in the fourth dimension, provided they were locally connected in the three spatial dimensions to begin with. For all entanglement must derive from a common locality in 3D in the past. And too, it is no mystery that photons never age, as they yet retain a locality in the fourth expanding dimension, where they are yet stationary, as they propagate at c through the three spatial dimensions.

"The discovery of the quantum of action shows us not only the natural limitation of classical physics, but, by throwing a new light upon the old philsophical problem of the objective existence of phenomena indepedently of our observations, confronts us with a situation hitherto unknown in natural science." --Niels Bohr

It is not our observations so much as the independent collapse of wavefunctions that define reality. The fourth dimension distributes locality, and matter caught in this appears as photons. When a photon is measured, or when it blackens a spot on a photographic plate, or when it hits a wall, it is localized as it is no longer in the fourth expanding dimension. There is no need for us to participate in this.

"After long reflection in solitude and meditation, I suddenly had the idea, during the year 1923, that the discovery made by Einstein in 1905 should be generalised by extending it to all material particles and notably to electrons." --de Broglie

As the fourth dimension pervades all, all matter interacts with it, thusly inheriting wavelike properties. Indeed, all movement derives from momenergy's existence, at least in part, in the fourth expanding dimension. Photons alone exist entirely in the fourth expanding dimension,

exhibiting zero rest mass.

"The properties of elementary processes....make it seem almost inevitaebleto formulate a truly quantized theory of radiation". --Einstein

This is because all radiation is but matter caught upon the fourth expanding dimension which also distributes locality, exalting probabilistic measurementments via the creation of nonlocal probability ditsributions that expand at the rate of c, determined by dx4/dt=ic.

"For me, then, this is the real problem with quantum theory: the apparently essential conflict between any sharp formulation and fundamental relativity. It may be that a real synthesis of quantum and relativity theories requires not just technical developments but radical conceptual renewal." -John Bell

MDT is based upon the radical conceptual renewal, derived straight from Einstein's 1912 Manuscript. Time is not the fourth dimension, but rather a phenomenon that arises because dx4/dt=ic--because the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions, which aslo accounts for entanglement, thusly uniting relativity and quantum mechanics with a common physical model, while also provideing a physical model for entropy and time and all its arrows and assymmetries.

"The conclusions from Bell's theorem are philosophically startling; either one must totally abandon the realistic philosophy of most working scientists or dramatically revise our concept of space-time." -Abner Shimony and John Clauser

Moving Dimensions Theory provides this new concept of space-time. The vast ambitions of most tenure-track physicists, including string theorists and LQG hypers, causes them to focus on irrelevant, minute questions, and thus, though funded by millions for over thirty years, have not yet been able to string the bow. Deeper, true physicists, such as Abner Shimony and John Clauser are alert to the fact that physics need news ideas.

The expanding fourth dimension gives rise to non-local phenomena and quantum entanglement, as the expanding fourth dimension means that two events separated in the three spatial dimensions can yet appear to be at the exact same place in the fourth dimension. MDT thus provides the new concept of space-time.

"Bohr had an intuitive feeling that Einstein's position, taken serioulsy, would conflict with qunatum mechanics. Buyt it was Bell's theorem which materialized this contradiction." --Alain Aspect

MDT resolves the contradiction. dx4/dt=ic distributes locality, thusly causing qm's nonlocality.

More to come!

Best,

Dr. E (The Real McCoy)

Dimensions, dimensions everywhere! Call me crazy, but I would like to stick with the three we've got. I rather like them. I think "dimension" is a psychological construct anyway. One could argue that there is only one dimension to anything that physically exists and has depth, but we have constructed an x,y,z coordinate system in order to be more specific regarding an objects physical space or direction of motion. We have three because our magic angle # is 90 degrees. Where are these other dimensions??? Is there truly something invisible that is leaving shadows or imprints in our 3D world? Maybe things are happening in the void - in the land of the invisible and are poping in and out of our 3D world but without existing extra dimensions in order for that to happen. Is there some behavior or particle that exists that can only be explained with extra dimensions? Have we ruled out all possible 3D explanations??? How would we know if we did? I think Bohr started a dangerous trend by thinking that the "enlightened" state itself was accepting that we can't completely understand what really is. Since then we have become too comfortable accepting theories that can't be completely understood and marveling at the fact that we realize that we can't.

Dear Chris,

If you have read the free preview of my book, you would see that I am proceeding under the hypothesis that there are as many dimensions as the rank of the TOE group. My two favorite TOE candidates are E10 and E12 - thus 10 or 12 dimensions.

Is this crazy? Maybe it is. Even if my hypothesis is correct, this one problem will consume much time, and carries no guarantee that my peers will even read it.

A few years ago, I was where you are (except I at least believed in 4 dimensions). I was aware of String Theory, but saw no need for it. But I have since learned how (and why) to incorporate these Hyperspace dimensions into my theories, and I am not willing to go back to a merely 4-D world.

Have Fun!

Dr. Cosmic Ray

The mathematics of relativity, which has been verified quite extensivesly via experiments, demonstrates that there are four dimensions.

x1=x, x2=y, x3=z, x4=ict

Ergo dx4/dt=ic .

I agree that there is no need for higher dimensions.

Math can be very pretty, but Einstein reminds us that physicists ought pursue *physics,* founded in a physical reality--"Mathematics are well and good but nature keeps dragging us around by the nose."" "It is anomalous to replace the four-dimensional continuum by a five-dimensional one and then subsequently to tie up artificially one of those five dimensions in order to account for the fact that it does not manifest itself." -Einstein to Paul Ehrenfest. Just think what Einstein would have said about entire parallel universes/muliverses/landscapes we cannot see! With an heroic spirit, MDT takes us back to origin of modern physics--to the original papers on relativity and QM, and it humbles itself upon thatmountaintop. And when it comes on down, off the shoulders of relativity and QM's giants, MDT presents us with a fundamental view of reality that conforms to all experimental evidence, while not only resolving the paradoxes of the non-locality of the EPR effect and seemingly frozen time in Godel's block universe, but also unifying the resolution of both physical curiosities within a simple physical postulate--the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions, or dx4/dt = ic.

In a sense, this is the first theory to predict QM's nonlocality and entanglement, by postulating that the fourth dimension is inherently nonlocal via its expansion--an empirical fact that the timeless, ageless, nonlocal photon agrees with, as the photon surfs the fourth expanding dimension. And not only does MDT predict this, but it also provides a *physical* model for entropy and time and all its arrows and assymetries throughout all realms. And finally, all of relativity may be derived from MDT's simple postulate, as it is inmy paper--the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatialdimensions--dx4/dt = ic. A postulate and an equation representing a novel *physical* feature of our universe--a fourth expanding dimension--and the natural, subsequent prediction of all of relativity, qm's nonlocality, entropy,time's arrows and assymetries in all realms, and quantum entanglement. "I don't believe in mathematics." Quoted in Carl Seelig. Albert Einstein. "Do not worry about your difficulties in mathematics, I assure you that mine are greater." --Einstein "Geometry is not true, it is advantageous." --Jules H. Poincare MDT's Confession/Apology I was hoping for a bit of a dialogue, but too, the lack of dialogue will be useful to historians of science in understanding and characterizing why our era has seen no progress in theoretical physics, despite unprecedented funding and resources. Never before have so many been paid so much to advance physics so little.Indeed, future historians will see that overfunding tends to lead to sociological constructs that exalt consensus building rooted not in logic, reason, and physics--not in foundational questions; but in fashion and politics which obscure the foundational spirits, papers, and questions. So it is that the Anthropic Principle and tiny, little vibrating strings are exaltedover *physical* contemplations and questions, *physical* principles, and*physical* models such as MDT: the fourth dimension is expanding relative tothree spatial dimensions, or dx4/dt=ic. For the first time in the history of relativity, change is woven into the fundamental fabric of spacetime; and a deeper physical invariant is shown to underlie relativity and quantum entanglement and nonlocality, in addition to time and all its arrows and asymmetries, and entropy, as well as Huygens' and Heisenbergs' principles. In many ways Galileo had it easy, because at least the Inquisition in his day wasn't posing as physicists interested in science. And Max Planck had it easy too, as he noted, "A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but ratherbecause its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that isfamiliar with it."

But in Plancks' time, the opponents were generally a generation of successfulscientists who had risen to the pinnacles of their profession via science--not bypolitics. So today's non-opponents of MDT are anti-theorists bolstered by state-funded crackpot indexes and anthropic principle politics--"we havetenure/funding because we are smarter than you because if we weren't smarter than you, we wouldn't have tenure/funding. Ergo we are smarter than you," iswhat they announce at their lavish conferences, reformulating the anthropic principle to fit the latest "flavor of the week" of their unchanging anti-theory regimes, which have frozen physics in a block universe. Max Born wrote, "All great discoveries in experimental physics have been made due to the intuition of men who made free use of models which for them were not products of the imagination but representations of real things." And yet, today, the quantum gravity regimes have rejected simple physical models along with the belief that the math ought represent *real* things. And now, they are even willing to forget time, space, reason, words, dialogue,physics, and physicists--to keep their perpetual motion funding apparati moving--even as time remains frozen. And thus, despite hundreds of millions in funding, there is no quantum gravity. There is no graviton, nor any consistent theory of quantum gravity. Instead, there are literally an infinite number of string theories,and a fair amount of loop-quantum theories, none of which quantize gravity in any finite, consistent way; let alone in any way that makes predictions that can betested. There is no proof whatsover for tiny, vibrating strings, nor atoms of space and time, nor twistors, nor tiny little loops, nor multiverses, nor hyperspace, nor parallel universes, nor bouncing universes--all of which grace the cover of Scientific American as sycophant students are trained to call true physicists seeking *physical* models and *physical* truths crackpots. And the Greats themselves--Nobel Laureates--both living and dead, have spoken out against such pseudo-science and snarky mathematical handwaving, which has become a religion that has replaced physics, thusly bringing progress to a halt. "Books on physics are full of complicated mathematical formulae. But thoughtand ideas, not formulae, are the beginning of every physical theory." --Einstein/Infeld, The Evolution of Physics Instead of classical, rugged physics on the higher plain of physical reality, we get communal, political efforts which end up opposing progress in physics, as they oppose the individual heroic spirit by which all higher physical truths are ultimately apprehended. Science is more of an art than a science, and it always seems to advance inmanners never before anticipated by the establishment, as Planck stated. Onecannot legislate, nor vote on, nor dictate the advancement of science by fiat. Donot take my word for it. "One cannot pray a lie," as Mark Twain once said. "New scientific ideas never spring from a communal body, however organized, but rather from the head of an individually inspired researcher who struggles with his problems in lonely thought and unites all his thought on one single pointwhich is his whole world for the moment." --Max Planck And again we see the primacy of the honest individual in the classic, epic hero's journey!"A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man." --Joseph Campbell http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monomyth And the Nobel Laureate economist F.A. Hayek agrees! "The tragedy of collectivist thought is that, while it starts out to make reasonsupreme, it ends by destroying reason because it misconceives the process on which the growth of reason depends. It may indeed be said that it is the paradox of all collectivist doctrine and its demands for "conscious" control or "conscious"planning that they necessarily lead to the demand that the mind of some individual should rule supreme--while only the individualist approach to social phenomena makes us recognize the superindividual forces which guide the growth of reason. Individualism is thus an attitude of humility before this socialprocess and of tolerance to other opinions and is the exact opposite of that intellectual hubris which is at the root of the demand for comprehensive directionof social purpose." -F.A. Hayek, The End of Truth, The Road to SerfdomAlong comes a scientist who agrees with the philosophy of Einstein and Max Born and Planck. Along comes a physicist who agrees with Wheeler, and Feynman, and Glashow, and Godel, and Bohr, and Gamow--wishing that he could watch old Westerns with Bohr and Gamow. Along comes a scientist whoagrees with Nobel Laureate Robert Laughlin and Nobel Laureate F.A. Hayek, with Newton and Dirac, with Heisenberg and Minkowski, with the great mythologist Joseph Campbell. Along comes a scientist with simple theory that has a simple postulate and equation from which all of relativity may be derived; from which entropy naturally arises, and which accounts for time and all its arrows and assymetries across all realms, while also providing a *physical* model for entanglement and nonlocality, as well as a *physical* model for Huygens' principle and the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle. Not only does the multi-billion-dollar physics establishment ignore it, but they have so much funding, that they can hire grad students and professors to snark the theory, so asto defend their perpetual-motion NSF money machines and religions ofwormholes, time warps, quantum gravity, multiverses, tiny, vibrating strings, and geometric mysticism/PR/hype, which Moving Dimensions Theory has no needfor, as it concerns itself with physics and physical reality--with logic, reason, and simple postulates and equations that represent a hitherto unsung universalinvariant--the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions at c. What we have here is a modern-day Inquisition, except that it is even more dangerous, as at least Galileo's Inquisition weren't claiming science's throne.

"In 1633, physicist Galileo

Galilei was brought before the Roman Inquisition. Tried on "vehement suspicion of heresy," Galileo was forced to swear that he "abjured, cursed and detested" the errors of his work, whichextended the findings of the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus that the Earth Moves." Now I have postulated that the fourth dimension expands relative to the three spatial dimensions, and not one person in the entire quantum gravity regime has ever, ever, taken the time to comment on my theory. It's not like MDT is a secret,so their silence puzzles the will. It would be one thing if quantum gravity/string theory were smashing successes--then, naturally, Rovelli/Carol et al. would all be busy partying like rock stars and flying to conferences and awards ceremonies in Aspen and Hawaii. But with the utter failure of the anti-theory regimes, for decade after decade, surely they oughthave a few moments to assess the great and natural success of the brand new directions proposed by MDT. "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." --Albert Einstein But I realize, that with tenure and titles to worry about in their aging anti-theoryregimes; perhaps before commenting on MDT, they are all waiting for a confession, so as to make the theory "safe" for discussion in polite circles. I even thought of emailing Ed Witten and asking him to come out with a press release in which he states that the M in M-Theory stands for Moving Dimensions. Well, here is my confession, based on Galileo's, which can be enjoyed here:

http://www.jklarsen.com/myblog/index.php?blog=6&title=confession_of_galileo_galilei&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1

I, Dr. E, son of the late Vincenzio Galilei of Florence, aged 70 years, tried personally by this court, and kneeling before You, the most Eminent Antitheorists and Reverend Lord Cardinals of M-Theory Multiverses,Inquisitors-General throughout the Quantum Gravity Republic against heretical depravity, having before my eyes the Most Holy Gospels of an Elegant Universe,Not Even Wrong, and The Trouble With Physics, and laying on them my own hands; I swear that I have always believed, I believe now, and with Ed Witten's help I will in future believe all which the Holy Quantum Gravity and M-Theory Church doth hold, preach, teach, and hype to the press, including E-8 and next year's E-9 anti-theory. But since I, after having been admonished by this Holy Office entirely to abandon the false opinion that the fourth dimension expands relative to the three spatial dimensions, and that quantum mechanics' entanglement, nonlocality,entropy, relativity itself, time and all its arrows and assymetries across all realms, the gravitational slowing of clocks and time, Huygens' Principle, Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, probability, and all the dualities (space-time, wave-particle, mass-energy) derive from this simple principle of MDT and its equation dx4/dt=ic, and that I was neither to hold, defend, nor teach in any manner whatever, either orally or in writing, the said false doctrine; and after having received a notification that the said doctrine is contrary to the Holy Writ of Hyperspace, I did write and cause to be printed a blog and forum in which I treatof the said already condemned MDT doctrine, and bring forward arguments of much efficacy in its favour, without arriving at any solution: I have been judgedvehemently suspected of heresy, that is, of having held and believed that the fourth dimension's expansion is the universe's fundamental invariant and the cause of all time and motion, and that the block universe does not exist and time is not the fourth dimension, but that time is a parameter that emerges because thefourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions at c, thatchange is and ought be woven into the fundamental fabric of space-time with dx4/dt=ic, and that the fourth dimension, like the earth, does move. Nevertheless, wishing to remove from the minds of your Tenured Eminences and all faithful LQGers and String Theorists this vehement suspicion reasonablyconceived against me, I abjure with sincere heart and unfeigned faith, I curse and detest the said errors and heresies, and generally all and every error and sect contrary to the Holy Quantum Gravity Regimes, and I am ready to forget time,forget space, and forget physical reality, while embracing multiverses and tiny, vibrating strings. And I swear that for the future I will neither say nor assert in speaking or writing such things as may bring upon me similar suspicion; and if I know any heretic who speaks out against tiny, vibrating branes, anti-theories, or atoms of space and time, or one suspected of heresy, I will denounce him to this Holy Office of Time Travel, or to the Inquisitor of Wormholes and Ordinary of the place in which I may be, which will of course be in the block universe, whichMDT falsely liberated us from, while falsely granting us free will and freethought, as it falsely unfroze time. I hereby remit all future free will, as I return to the block universe with the hopes of receiving the funding that is a part of my pre-Ordained future, as a member of the Quantum Gravity Church in this multiverse--this subset of the landscape--that the Gods of the Anthropic Principle granted us, while declaring that we should receive infinite funding for our fortitude in service to the Lords of the Landscape. I also swear and promise to adopt and observe entirely all the penances whichhave been or may be by this Holy Office of Loops imposed on me. And if I contravene any of these said promises, protests, or oaths, (which Ed Wittenforbid!) I submit myself to all the pains and penalties which by the SacredCanons of String Theory and other Decrees of D-branes general and particular are against such offenders imposed and promulgated. So help me God and the Holy Warped Passages/The Trouble With Physics/10^99 indecipherablearxiv.org papers--which I touch with my own hands. I, Dr. E, aforesaid have abjured, sworn, and promised, and hold myself bound asabove; and in token of the truth, with my own hand have subscribed the present schedule of my abjuration, and have recited it word by word. In America, at the Convent della M-Theory, this 8th day of December, 2008, in this parallel universe. I, Dr. E, have abjured as above, with my own hand." And as I'm walking away to serve out my house arrest and exile form the academy after this confession, I turn to the crowd that had gathered to hear meread it and smile. And I say, "And yet it--the fourth dimension--moves! Eppur si muove!"
