FOURTH EXPANDING DIMENSION

To my late Princeton Mentor, Friend, and Humble Hero:

Dr. John Archibald Wheeler

"More intellectual curiosity, versatility and yen for physics than Elliot McGucken's I have never seen in any senior or graduate student... Originality, powerful motivation, and a can-do spirit make me think that McGucken is a top bet. Dr. John Archibald Wheeler, Princeton Universitys Joseph Henry Professor of Physics

dx /dt=ic

Einstein: My solution was really for the very concept of time, that is, that time is not absolutely defined but there is an inseparable connection between time and the signal [light] velocity ( dx /dt=ic ).

To my mind there must be, at the bottom of it all,

not an equation, but an utterly simple idea.

And to me that idea, when we finally discover it,

will be so compelling, so inevitable,

that we will say to one another,

Oh, how beautiful!

How could it have been otherwise?

--John Archibald Wheeler, from a personal notebook of Wheeler circa 1991

Einstein: People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion. Albert Einstein

Yes! We agree with Einsteins relativity, but too, we accept the well-verified quantum theory that Einstein never quite accepted. Via the virtue of the fourth expanding dimension, we at long last exalt a deeper physical foundation that gives rise to both quantum mechanics and relativity, as well as time and all its arrows and asymmetries alongside the flow of time. We move beyond the frozen timelessness of Einsteins block universe, into a realm where the physics acknowledges and exalts time and all its arrows and asymmetries, alongside free will and a past which is different from the future in both character and reach. And we do this all by exalting a most simple principle.

The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,

Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit

Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,

Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.

- Omar Khayym (translation by Edward Fitzgerald).

Sir Isaac Newton wrote:

To explain all nature is too difficult a task for any one man or even for any one age. 'Tis much better to do a little with certainty, and leave the rest for others that come after you, than to explain all things by conjecture without making sure of anything.

And thus I have decided to limit myself to providing the physical foundations for relativity, quantum mechanics, the second law of thermodynamics, nonlocality and entanglement, and time and all its arrows and asymmetries, while leaving the rest to others. This much I am certain about: The fourth dimension x is expanding at the rate of c relative to the three spatial dimensions, or dx /dt=ic .

A Grand New Principle as Great as Copernicus's Heliocentric Universe and Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation: The fourth dimension is expanding at the rate of c relative to the three spatial dimensions as first seen in dx4/dt=ic.

Einstein's and Minkowskis famous equation x =ict , or dx /dt=ic , relates light, time, and dimension in a most unique and spectacular manner, which hath been largely ignored, until now.

The great Albert Einstein stated:

The development of Western Science is based on two great achievements, the invention of the formal logical system (in Euclidean geometry) by the Greek philosophers, and the discovery of the possibility to find out causal relationships by systematic experiment (Renaissance).

Unfortunately, the string theorists, inflationists, and multimillionaire multiverse maniacs have abandoned both experiment and formal logic, alongside genuine, rugged, independent curiosity. In order to sustain their failed regimes, they exiled the two pillars of Western Science, alongside simple truth and beauty. And so it is that theoretical physics ground to a halt. Light Time Dimension Theory is built upon these two pillars of science formal logic and empirical observation and bolstered by courage to ask, and answer, the most seemingly simple questions.

Albert Einstein: Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.

Galileo: For in the sciences the authority of thousands of opinions is not worth as much as one tiny spark of reason in an individual man.

Albert Einstein: Any intelligent fool can make things bigger (the multiverse), more complex (the string theorists landscape), and more violent (the multiverse televangelists violence against simple Truth and Beauty). It takes a touch of geniusand a lot of courageto move in the opposite direction ( dx /dt=ic ).

Albert Einstein: A theory is the more impressive the greater is the simplicity of its premises ( dx /dt=ic ), the more different are the kinds of things it relates (relativity, the quantum, time, dark matter, dark energy, entanglement) and the more extended the range of its applicability.

Let us lead with the exalted words of some of the Greats! One thing you will notice about Dr. Es books is that I always begin by acknowledging the Giants upon whose shoulders I stand so as to see further.

J.A. Wheeler: How come time? It is not enough to joke that, Time is natures way to keep everything from happening all at once. A question so deep deserves a deeper look. Lets come back to it, therefore, towards the end of this account, and turn for now to the less intimidating, How come the asymmetry between past and future?

Sir Arthur Eddington: Time's Arrow. The great thing about time is that it goes on. But this is an aspect of it which the physicist sometimes seems inclined to neglect. In the four-dimensional world... the events past and future lie spread out before us as in a map. The events are there in their proper spatial and temporal relation; but there is no indication that they undergo what has been described as the formality of taking place" and the question of their doing or undoing does not arise. We see in the map the path from past to future or from future to past; but there is no signboard to indicate that it is a one-way street. Something must be added to the geometrical conceptions comprised in Minkowski's world before it becomes a complete picture of the world as we know it.
