Thanks Jayakar,
The beauty of MDT is that it offers a *physical* model underlying QM and relativity and a *physical* theory, actually proposing a new fundamental *physical* invariant--that of a fourth expanding dimension which expands at c.
And all of a sudden, we have a *physical* model and *physical* reasons for entanglement, entropy, and relativity.
MDT is more fundamental than relativity and it also grants us entropy and QM's characteristic trait--entanglement.
An added benefit are all the other entities dx4/dt=ic accounts for with a physical model, ranging from entropy, to QM's entanglement and nonlocality, to time and all its arrows. MDT accomplishes a diverse array of physical feats:
∗provides the "elementary foundations" for Einstein's relativity and Schrodinger's "characteristic trait" of QM--entanglement.
∗unfreezes time & liberates us from the block universe, allowing for and exalting free will
∗weaves change into the fundamental fabric of space-time for the first time in the history of relativity
∗derives relativity from a more fundamental universal invariant: dx4/dt=ic
∗provides a physical model for entropy
∗provides a physical model for quantum entanglement (QM's characteristic trait)
∗provides a physical mechanism for nonlocality--the fourth expanding dimension distributes locality
∗provides a physical model unifying the dualities--space/time, energy/mass, wave/particle, E/B
∗provides a physical model for the invariance of c--both its independence of the source and its independence of the observer
∗provides a physical model for the spherically-symmetric expanding wave-front of probability that defines a photon's path
∗offers a resolution for both the EPR Paradox and Godel's problems with the block universe relativity implied
∗offers a physical model for why nothing can move faster than c.
∗offers an intuitive model for the length-contraction can accompanies all motion
∗accounts for both the agelessness (from relativity--nonlocality in time) and the nonlocality (from QM) of the photon
∗accounts for the gravitational slowing of time and light, as well as the gravitational redshift
∗provides a unique physical model underlying wide-ranging phenomena in quantum mechanics, relativity, and statistical mechanics.
*provides a physical model for time and all its arrows and asymmetries
