Time as an Emergent Phenomenon: Traveling Back to the Heroic Age of

ABSTRACT
In his 1912 Manuscript on Relativity, Einstein never stated that time
is the fourth dimension, but rather he wrote x4 = ict. The fourth
dimension is not time, but ict. Despite this, prominent physicists
have oft equated time and the fourth dimension, leading to un-
resolvable paradoxes and confusion regarding time’s physical nature,
as physicists mistakenly projected properties of the three spatial
dimensions onto a time dimension, resulting in curious concepts
including frozen time and block universes in which the past and future
are omni-present, thusly denying free will, while implying the
possibility of time travel into the past, which visitors from the
future have yet to verify. Beginning with the postulate that time is
an emergent phenomenon resulting from a fourth dimension expanding
relative to the three spatial dimensions at the rate of c, diverse
phenomena from relativity, quantum mechanics, and statistical
mechanics are accounted for. Time dilation, the equivalence of mass
and energy, quantum entanglement, nonlocality, wave-particle duality,
and entropy are shown to arise from a common, deeper physical reality
expressed with dx4/dt=ic. This postulate and equation, from which
Einstein’s relativity is derived, presents a fundamental model
accounting for the emergence of time, the constant velocity of light,
the fact that the maximum velocity is c, and the fact that c is
independent of the velocity of the source, as photons are but matter
surfing a fourth expanding dimension. In general relativity, Einstein
showed that the dimensions themselves could bend, curve, and move.
The present theory extends this principle, postulating that the fourth
dimension is moving independently of the three spatial dimensions,
distributing locality and fathering time. This physical model
underlies and accounts for time in quantum mechanics, relativity, and
statistical mechanics, as well as entropy, the universe’s expansion,
and time’s arrows and asymmetries in all arenas.

Introduction: Einstein’s Clues for Time as an Emergent Phenomenon
In his 1912 Manuscript on Relativity, Einstein never stated that time
is the fourth dimension, but rather he wrote x4 = ict. The fourth
dimension is not time, but ict. Despite this, prominent physicists
have oft equated time and the fourth dimension, leading to un-
resolvable paradoxes and confusion regarding time’s physical nature,
as physicists mistakenly projected properties of the three spatial
dimensions onto a time dimension. Such projections have resulted in
curious concepts including frozen time and block universes in which
the past and future are omni-present, thusly denying free will, while
implying the possibility of time travel into the past, which visitors
from the future have yet to verify.
By postulating that time is an emergent phenomenon resulting from a
fourth dimension expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions at
the rate of c, this paper shows that diverse phenomena such as
relativity’s equivalence of mass and energy, quantum mechanics’
entanglement, and entropy all arise from a common, deeper physical
reality which underlies concepts including the EPR Paradox, the
classic double-slit experiment, and Godel’s block universe, while
finally uniting time’s arrows with a simple physical model expressed
with:
The above postulate and equation, from which Einstein’s relativity is
derived in our 4D universe (x1, x2, x3, x4) where x4 = ict, presents a
fundamental model accounting for the emergence of time, the constant
velocity of light, the fact that the maximum velocity through space-
time is c, and the fact that c is independent of the velocity of the
source, as photons are but matter surfing a fourth expanding
dimension. In general relativity, Einstein showed that the dimensions
themselves could bend, curve, and move. The present theory extends
this principle, postulating that the fourth dimension is moving
independently of the three spatial dimensions, fathering time. This
model underlies and accounts for time in quantum mechanics,
relativity, and statistical mechanics, as well as entropy, the
universe’s expansion, and time’s arrows and asymmetries in all
arenas.
The above equation physically accounts for quantum mechanics’ action-
at-a-distance and relativity’s length contraction, as well as
entanglement and the equivalence of mass and energy. Diverse dualities
—wave/particle, time/space, and mass/energy—all originate from this
same principle. The model accounts for the gravitational redshift and
the gravitational slowing of clocks, while showing why there is no
need to quantize gravity as no physical entities are transferred in
gravitational alterations of energy. The theory provides a physical
model for time and its arrows—time is not the fourth dimension, but
rather a phenomenon that emerges because the fourth dimension is
expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions in units of the
Planck length. As the measurement of time is inextricably wed to
energy, which is the propagation of photons, and as photons propagate
as matter surfing the fourth expanding dimension, time inherits
properties of the fourth dimension in relativity’s mathematics, but
time, as measured on our watches, recorded in our memories, and
perceived in radioactive decays and entropy, is not the fourth
dimension.
Relativity freezes the expansion of the fourth dimension, only ever
considering instantaneous snapshots of the universe. Quantum
Mechanics treats the fourth dimension as a dynamical element, and
hence quantum mechanics is a science defined by flux—by differential
operators. QM’s nonlocality and the relativity of simultaneity both
derive from the fundamental expansion of the fourth dimension, which
distributes a local point into a nonlocal probability distribution at
the rate of c, invoking de Broglie’s pilot waves and Kaluza-Klein
geometries, where each point can be viewed as a compactified
dimension, expanding in accordance with Huygens’ principle. Hence a
photon’s motion is described by a spherically-symmetric probabilistic
wave-front expanding at c; as a photon is but matter fully rotated
into the fourth expanding dimension.
QM, relativity, and statistical mechanics all offer parallel clues not
only into the nature of time, but into the more fundamental nature of
a universe in which the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the
three spatial dimensions, thusly liberating us from a block universe,
while unifying time’s arrows and accounting for curious phenomena in
QM and relativity with a unique and simple physical model, which views
time as an emergent phenomenon. The expansion of the fourth dimension
is the fundamental motion underlying all motion, setting the singular
velocity through space-time for every physical entity to c, while
fostering Huygens’ Principle—the fundamental expansive wave nature of
all matter and energy—in both the quantum mechanical and classical
worlds, manifesting the above postulate and equation in Feynman’s many-
paths interpretation and wave pools alike.
Both QM’s “nonlocality”—manifested in the double-slit experiment,
tunneling, and the EPR paradox, and relativity’s ageless photon—which
represents time dilation’s limit, are founded upon a physical reality
wherein no matter how far a photon travels in the three spatial
dimensions, it yet retains a locality in the fourth dimension,
implying the inherent nonlocality of the fourth dimension which is
naturally accounted for by its fundamental expansion relative to the
three spatial dimensions. The expansion of the fourth dimension
manifests itself as an expanding 3D spherical surface, and every point
on that sphere retains its original compactified locality and
orthogonality, in turn expanding (Huygens’ principle), as locality is
“smeared.” Hence two initially-interacting photons separated by the
width of the universe may yet influence one-another instantaneously,
as they yet inhabit the same place in the fourth dimension, as
relativity’s math also attests to by presenting us with a timeless,
ageless photon whose path through the universe is defined by a null
vector—a vector of zero length, which defines the radius of a photonic
wave’s spherically-symmetric, expanding nonlocality.
The correspondence between the first derivative with regards to time
and the second derivative with regards to space in Schrödinger’s
Equation may be accounted for with the postulate. Time’s quantum
mechanical arrow, radiative arrow, and thermodynamic arrow may all be
witnessed in the expansion and collapse of a photon’s wave function,
which expands at the rate of c until encountering an irreversible
process whence the matter trapped in the expanding fourth dimension is
brought to rest in the three spatial dimensions via a “measurement” or
localization. Thus time’s very direction and tangible, physical
character in all arenas emerges from a fourth dimension that is
expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.
Another clue is found in length contraction—all moving objects are
foreshortened in the direction of their motion. They are
foreshortened via their rotation or “boost” into the fourth dimension,
which is moving relative to the three spatial dimensions, and thus
they experience augmented momentum and motion, in proportion to the
energy component of their momenergy.
Moving Dimensions Theory—which regards time as an emergent phenomena—
was inspired in part by Einstein’s words pertaining to the higher
purpose of physical theories: “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. . . 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.”
Einstein's Annus Mirabilis: The Photon Holds the Key to Time as an
Emergent Phenomenon
As contemplations on the photon lead Einstein to the theories of
relativity and quantum mechanics that revolutionized our notions of
space, time, and physical reality, this paper again turns towards the
photon and Einstein’s original works to shed light on time. Various
phenomena in Einstein's 1905 papers can be united with a simple
postulate representing an underlying physical reality from where time
itself emerges—the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three
spatial dimensions at the rate of c.
Consider the emission of a photon in free space. One second later,
the photon has equal probability of being found anywhere upon a sphere
with a radius of 186,000 miles, as the velocity of light is 186,000
miles/second. If we covered the surface of said sphere with
detectors, one, and only one detector, would detect the photon.
Although having traveled 186,000 miles through space, the photon will
not have aged one iota, for time stops at the speed of light. It will
not have moved one iota in the fourth dimension. And there lies a
clue to the reality that the fourth dimension is expanding relative to
the three spatial dimensions. For how can a photon propagate 186,000
miles in the three spatial dimensions, and yet not budge an inch in
the fourth dimension, unless that fourth dimension is moving right
along with it, just as a wave moves right along with a surfer?
Consider two interacting photons that propagate in opposite
directions, as in experiments inspired by Bell’s Inequality and
conducted by Aspect et al. One second later, each photon's
polarization is measured at detectors separated by 372,000 miles.
According to the laws of quantum mechanics and numerous supporting
experiments, the measurement at one detector instantaneously affects
the measurement at the second detector. It is as if the photons are
yet side-by-side during the measurement. This “spooky action-at-a-
distance,” as Einstein called it, is not so spooky in the context of a
fourth expanding dimension, for although separated by 372,000 miles,
the photons yet inhabit a common locality in the fourth dimension, as
the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial
dimensions, distributing locality at the rate of c. So it is that
both quantum and relativistic phenomena are accounted for with the
simple elegance of the postulate: the fourth dimension is expanding
relative to the three spatial dimensions.
Another paper Einstein penned in 1905 was devoted to Brownian motion
and statistical mechanics. Drop a thimbleful of food coloring in a
pool. The laws of statistical mechanics dictate that there is a high
probability that the coloring will spread throughout the entire pool
and never again reassemble. Entropy is a fundamental condition of
physical reality which informs our perceptions and definitions of
time, and entropy is physically accounted for with the current model.
As the fundamental motion of the universe is the expansion of the
fourth dimension relative to the three spatial dimensions, two photons
originating from a common origin will harbor a vast probability of
being found one second later separated by a distance that is far
greater than the distance that separated them at their origin. Recall
our system of detectors placed everywhere upon the surface of a sphere
with a radius of 186,000 miles—each photon has an equal chance of
being found at any detector one second after they were emitted at a
common origin, and chances are that the photons will be detected by
detectors separated by a distance greater than approximately zero,
which defined their original separation. Hence entropy. All
particles undergoing thermal vibrations interact with photons, and all
photons reside in the fourth expanding dimension, dragging all of
entirety into random disorder.
Yet another paper published by Einstein in 1905 was devoted to the
equivalence of mass and energy. Consider the fascinating physical
reality implied by Einstein's most famous equation—E=mc2. A kilogram
of gold or lead or feathers sitting on a desktop is the same thing as
9x1016 joules of energy—an exorbitant amount of energy—enough to
power, or to destroy, a major city. How is it that a stationary mass
possesses such a great energy? It is because the mass, which appears
stationary in the lab, is yet propagating through space-time at the
rate of c, as is every object, as the fourth dimension is expanding at
c. Matter surfing the fourth expanding dimension appears at photons.
The primary invariant is c—all matter and/or photons—be it propagating
through space or time, or some combination thereof, always move at the
rate of c through space-time, and this reality arises because of the
deeper physical invariance of a fourth dimension that is expanding
relative to the three spatial dimensions at the rate of c. To be
stationary in the three spatial dimensions means to propagate at the
rate of c through the fourth dimension, as a stationary clock ticks
away this distance at a maximal rate, as the photons in the unwinding
clock’s spring travel at c relative to the stationary clock. To be
stationary in the fourth dimension means to propagate at the rate of c
through the three spatial dimensions, as does the ageless photon.
Ergo the fourth dimension is expanding at the rate of c relative to
the three spatial dimensions.
Nonlocality stems from the inherent nonlocality of the fourth
dimension, which is nonlocal via its expansion. The below fundamental
equation comes straight from Einstein’s manuscripts, and it recognizes
that time is not the fourth dimension, as many modern physicists have
supposed, but that time is a phenomenon that emerges because a fourth
dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions:
The fourth dimension is inherently nonlocal. In the photoelectric
effect, the photon’s wave distribution immediately collapses in the
act of measurement. This is because although the expanding wave-front
is distributed as spherically-symmetric wave-front in 3D, it yet
defines a locality in the fourth dimension. The ultimate goal of
physics is to provide physical models of reality which support diverse
phenomena with a logically-simple physical explanations—as simple as
possible, but not more-so.
The instantaneous collapse of the wave function in quantum mechanics
parallels the notion of simultaneity in relativity. Both of these
concepts derive from the fact the fourth dimension is expanding
relative to the three spatial dimensions. Relativity tells us that
two photons emitted from a common origin will remain at the same place
in time—they will never age, and their coinciding spherical wave-
fronts will define a sphere of simultaneity. A compactified fourth
dimensional sphere expands in a spherically-symmetric manner, obeying
Huygens’ principle while underlying all of its manifestations
throughout nature. Quantum mechanics tells us that no matter how far
apart two photons travel, they will be connected in a local manner
until one is measured, whence the measurement on one instantaneously
effects the other. So it is that the current theory dx4/dt = ic
underlies both relativity and quantum mechanics.
The time on a watch or clock, whether linked to an oscillating
circuit, quartz crystal, or unwinding copper spring, is based on
changes in energy, which is based on the emission and propagation of
photons. Photons surf the fourth expanding dimension, and thus time
inherits properties of the fourth dimension, but time is not the
fourth dimension. Past, present, and future are but states contained
in our mind—past is what we remember—order stored in our brains. The
present is physical change that creates the order in our brain. The
future is but in our imaginations—changes we can potentially effect
which will be recorded in the order of our memories.
In relativity we often equate one second of time with 3x108 meters—the
distance traveled by a photon in one second. This is because photons
are matter surfing the fourth dimension which expands at c.
Deriving Relativity from dx4/dt = ic
Let us travel on back to Einstein's 1912 Manuscript on the Special
Theory of Relativity, where we see that he does not say that time is
the fourth dimension, but rather, inspired by Minkowski, he stipulates
that the fourth coordinate u or x4 is defined by ict. Einstein
writes,
If, in three-dimensional geometry, a new orthogonal coordinate system
with the same coordinate origin is introduced alongside the original
system (x, y, z) (rotation of the coordinate system), then the laws of
this coordinate transformation are possible from the following two
stipulations:
(1) The transformation equations are linear and homogeneous with
respect to the coordinates
(2) The distance of an arbitrary point from the coordinate origin is
the same with respect to both systems
For, according to (1), the transformation is determined by equations
of the form
Where the quantities are independent of x, y, z. According to (2),
these equations must make the equation
into an identity. . .
If we compare this with the considerations leading to the general
Lorentz transformation, then we see that the transformation equations
holding between x, y, z, u = ict and x’, y’, z’, u’ = ict’ of two
justified space-time reference systems satisfy the same conditions and
are constructed in the same way as in the just considered three-
dimensional case. The only difference is that we now have four
coordinates instead of three. We can formulate this in the following
way: All of the “justified” time-space reference systems to which the
four-dimensional manifold of events is referred are orthogonal
coordinate systems to which the four-dimensional manifold of events is
referred are orthogonal coordinate systems with four axes that can be
transformed into each other by mere rotation. One has to keep in mind
that the fourth coordinate u is always purely imaginary. (Bold
italics added)
Einstein definitively states x4 = ict, and time and ict are very
different entities. Einstein states, “One has to keep in mind that
the fourth coordinate u (which Einstein sometimes writes as x4) is
always purely imaginary.” It is imaginary because the expansion of
the fourth dimension is orthogonal to the three spatial dimensions in
every direction, just as the radii of an expanding sphere are
perpendicular to its surface at every point.
Let us derive the Lorentz Transformations and Einstein’s relativity,
including time dilation, length contraction, and the equivalence of
mass and energy from our simple postulate that the fourth dimension is
expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions and its
representative equation:
Let D be the constant -ica+x4(a) and re-label u with t. Then we have
Dropping the arbitrary constant, we get:
Or
x4 = ict
Armed with this simple result, we are ready to return to Einstein’s
1912 manuscript and provide the motivation for a four-dimensional
coordinate system where the fourth dimension is written as x4 = ict.
When Einstein wrote x4 = ict, inspired by Minkowski’s work, he never
qualified the fundamental motivation for this—the fact that the fourth
dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions. When
Einstein penned his 1912 manuscript, he did not perceive that
relativity’s equivalence of mass and energy and QM’s wave-particle
duality—time dilation and the EPR paradox—entropy and length
contraction—E=mc2 and the double slit experiment—could all be
accounted for with a fourth expanding dimension. Nor did he recognize
that while relativity considers instantaneous frozen snapshots of the
universe, quantum mechanics acknowledges the fundamental flux of the
expanding fourth dimension, and is thus based on differential
operators and probabilistic wavefronts, which acknowledge the
perpetual smearing of locality into non-locality, and the emergence of
time.
In Einstein's 1912 Manuscript on the Special Theory of Relativity,
Einstein writes:
The principle of the constancy of the velocity of light demands the
existence of a reference system ∑ relative to which every light ray
propagates in vacuum with velocity c. According to the relativity
principle, all reference system∑´ in uniform translation motion to ∑
must possess the same property. Together with Laue, we call each
such system “justified.” Now we ask: What kind of transformation
equations must obtain between the space-time coordinates x, y, z, t
(with respect to ∑) and x´,y´,c´,t´ (with respect to ∑´) of the same
point event so that the principle of the constancy of the velocity of
light would hold with respect to both systems? . . .
. . . Suppose that at this moment of the coincidence of the two
origins a vacuum light signal is sent from O or O´, which, according
to the principle of the constancy of the velocity of light, propagates
in a spherical wave with respect to both systems then the spatial
points that are just reached by the signal at times t and t´ with
respect to ∑ and ∑´, respectively, will be determined by the equations
and
This means that the equations
and
must be equivalent. Thus, the transformation equations that we are
seeking must be so constituted that the second equation turns into the
first one if x´,y´,z´,t´ are replaced by their expressions in terms of
x,y,c,t. The transformation must therefore make the equation
into an identity, where all that we know about the factor 2 for the
time being is that it must not vanish. But one can see that 2 must
be independent of x, y, z, t, for otherwise the right-hand side
divided by 2 could not be a homogeneous, complete function of second
order in x,y,z,t after the substitution is carried out. For now we
will examine the substitution for the case 2 = 1 and we will show
later that from a physical point of view this is the only case
deserving of consideration. Instead of (15), we then have:
If one introduces the variable u = ict or u´ = ict´ in place of the
time variables t, where i denotes the imaginary unit, one obtains,
instead of (15a), the form
Note that when Einstein states “If one introduces the variable u =
ict or u´ = ict´ in place of the time variables t,” he states no
motivation. Moving Dimensions Theory presents the deeper reasons why
this substitution works—the fourth dimension is expanding relative to
the three spatial dimensions. It works because:
Which implies: x4 = ict. Einstein continues in his 1912 Manuscript:
As is well known, this choice of time variables derives from
Minkowski. Its great significance consists in the fact that by means
of it, equation (15a), which governs the substitution that we are
seeking, is brought into a form into which the spatial coordinates and
the temporal coordinate enter in the same manner.
Let the coefficients of the substitution that we are seeking be
denoted as in the accompanying array; the second horizontal row, for
example, shall signify that the equation:
Obviously, those from among these coefficients that do not contain the
index “4” or contain it twice are real, the rest being purely
imaginary. . .
And replaces x´,y´,z´,u´ by their expressions in terms of x, y, z, u
then one obtains x as the result. The situation is analogous with the
other vertical rows of the above array. Thus, the array also yields
the inverse substitution, which expresses x etc. by means of x´,y´,z´,u
´. Hence, the quantities must also satisfy those conditional
equations that are analogous to equations (16) in that merely the
vertical and the horizontal rows change their roles.
As we already can see from equation 15b which determines them, the
transformations we seek are exactly the same as those we have to apply
to the spatial coordinates when passing from an orthogonal coordinate
system to another one with the same origin, the only difference being
that here one deals with a four-dimensional manifold rather than with
a three-dimensional manifold as in the other case. This knowledge
forms the basis of Minkowski’s four-dimensional treatment of the
theory of relativity, which brought about a splendid simplification of
the system of the theory of relativity. We shall go into this in
greater detail in the next chapter, while in this chapter we will
derive the most important results of the theory of relativity in the
most elementary way, in order for its physical relationships to emerge
more clearly.
So it is that by providing the motivation for representing a fourth
coordinate with x4 = ict, our simple postulate and equation underlies
the Lorentz Transformation, Minkowski’s four-dimensional treatment of
the theory of relativity, and Einstein’s relativity, while also
liberating us from a block universe and providing physical
interpretations for quantum mechanical phenomenon and statistical
mechanics.
Time’s Arrows and Asymmetries Unified:
Time’s arrows are time’s messengers, manifesters, and definers. Time,
as measured by the ticking seconds on a clock, the melting of a
snowman, the propagation of an electromagnetic wave, or the
dissipation of a drop of food coloring throughout a pool, is an
emergent phenomenon, which results because the fourth dimension is
expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions, carrying energy in
the form of matter rotated into the fourth expanding dimension. This
principle, which naturally suggests time’s radiative and entropic
asymmetries, may also account for the preponderance of matter over
anti-matter. The vast majority of matter sees the fourth dimension as
expanding. While a central point that receives shrinking spherical
waves from a spherically-symmetric emitter consisting of numerous
point emitters can be imagined, such central points, or positrons, are
unstable, and adversely-susceptible to small imperfections,
perturbations, and asymmetries in the incoming waves of the fourth
dimension.
The Radiative Arrow of Time: As photons surf the fourth expanding
dimension, radiation is fundamentally denoted by expanding spherical
wave-fronts, and not shrinking spherical wave-fronts. Two photons
originating from a common origin will harbor a vast probability of
being found at great distances from one-another one second later—
distances far greater than the distance that separates them at their
emission. Hence entropy.
Entropy—Time’s Thermodynamic Arrow: Consider two or more particles in
close proximity. The fourth dimension is expanding as a spherical
wave-front relative to the three spatial dimensions. Two particles in
close initial proximity have a greater chance of moving further apart
as opposed to closer together. All particles will have a probability
of being caught in the fourth expanding dimension in proportion to
their energy, and thus increased energy correlates with increased
motion. Hence a drop of food coloring dropped in a swimming pool will
dissipate and effectively never converge.
The Cosmological Arrow of Time: As all motion derives from the
fundamental motion dx4/dt=ic, the universe’s general motion is
expansion. If the absolute rate of c changes, the rate of expansion
of the universe will appear to change. Hence an accelerating/
decelerating universe.
The Causal Arrow of Time: The causal and psychological arrows of time
are related to the capability of our minds to record events, as well
as imagine future events, based on the cause and effect logic learned
via our empirical existence. However, neither the past nor the future
exist out there. There is but one present, though observers may
disagree on its nature, due to the inextricable, tautological
relationship between measurement and light, light and time, and time
and measurement.
The Quantum Arrow of Time: The Copenhagen interpretation sees quantum
evolution to be governed both by the Schrödinger equation, which is
time-symmetric, and by the time-irreversible collapse of the wave
function. Up until now, the mechanism of wave function collapse was
philosophically obscure, but the current theory proposes that the wave
function collapses as momenergy is removed from the fourth expanding
dimension and localized, as when a photon is measured or localized as
a blackened grain on a photographic plate. At quantum, microscopic
distances, and as t approaches zero, there is still a probability that
an emitted photon can yet be found at its origin—that it has not moved—
and thus entropy’s thermodynamic arrow is not as apparent, and time
symmetry can appear intact in the quantum world in the realm of Planck
times and distances. But as the fourth dimension expands at the rate
of c, as t grows, so does entropy, thusly dominating time’s arrows and
our concept of time in the macroscopic world. Time travel to any
significant degree is impossible because the fourth dimension never
reaches deeper than Planck's length. One could only go back in time
by Planck's time.
Conclusion & Moving Away From Godel’s Block Universe:
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.” Since then, physicists have not been able to
find any logical shortcomings in Godel's work, and nobody has quite
been able to account for the existence of time, nor divorce relativity
from a block universe. The current model accounts for time in both GR
and QM by showing that it is not the fourth dimension, but that it is
an emergent property of the underlying dimension's intrinsic relative
movement. While we lose the eternal recurrence of a frozen past and
future, we gain our free will, as well as a physical model that
supports both GR and QM, as well as the time we perceive in this
universe we inhabit. And so it is that “there is an inseparable
connection” between time and light, as time naturally emerges from the
physical expansion of the fourth dimension relative to the three
spatial dimensions, and light, by which we measure time and distance,
is but matter caught in the fourth expanding dimension.

ABSTRACT:
Over the past few decades prominent physicists have noted that physics
has diverged away from its classical heroic journey traditionally
defined by boldly describing, fathoming, and characterizing
foundational truths of physical reality via simple, elegant, logically-
consistent postulates and equations which humbled themselves before
empirical reality. Herein the spirit of physics is again exalted by
the heroic words of the Greats—by Galileo, Newton, Faraday, Maxwell,
Planck, Einstein, Bohr, and Schrodinger—the Founding Fathers upon
whose shoulders physics stands. And from that pinnacle, a novel
physical theory is proposed, complete with a novel physical model
celebrating a hitherto unsung universal invariant and an equation
reflecting the foundational physical reality of a fourth dimension
expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions at the rate of c,
or dx4/dt=ic, providing both the “elementary foundations” for
relativity and QM’s “characteristic trait”—entanglement, and its
nonlocal, probabilistic nature. From MDT’s experimentally-verified
equation relativity is derived while time is unfrozen and free will
exalted, while a physical model accounting for quantum nonlocality is
presented. Entropy, Huygens’ Principle; the wave/particle, energy/
mass, space/time, and E/B dualities; and time and all its arrows and
asymmetries emerge from a common, foundational physical model. MDT
exalts Einstein’s “empirical facts,” “naturalness,” and “logical
simplicity.” For the first time in the history of relativity, change
is woven into the fabric of space-time, and the timeless, ageless,
massless, nonlocal photon of Galileo’s/Einstein’s “empirical world” is
explained via a foundational physical model, alongside the fact that c
is constant, independent of the source, and the maximum velocity in
the universe, as well as the only velocity through space-time. The
empirical GPS clocks’ time dilation/twins paradox is resolved by
proposing a frame of absolute rest—the three spatial dimensions, and a
frame of absolute motion—the fourth expanding dimension upon which
ageless photons of zero rest mass surf; which underlie and give rise
to Einstein’s Principle of Relativity.

But before mankind could be ripe for a science which takes in the
whole of reality, a second fundamental truth was needed, which only
became common property among philosophers with the advent of Kepler
and Galileo. Pure logical thinking cannot yield us any knowledge of
the empirical world; all knowledge of reality starts from experience
and ends in it. Propositions arrived at by purely logical means are
completely empty as regards reality. Because Galileo saw this, and
particularly because he drummed it into the scientific world, he is
the father of modern physics—indeed, of modern science altogether. -

How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope

MDT was born by explaining away the paradoxical implications of

there was no underlying physical model for relativity not quantum
mechanics, let alone one which united them.

A physical theory can be satisfactory only if its structures are

thermodynamics was before Boltzmann had interpreted the entropy as
probability. –Einstein
When two systems, of which we know the states by their respective
representatives, enter into temporary physical interaction due to
known forces between them, and when after a time of mutual influence
the systems separate again, then they can no longer be described in
the same way as before, viz. by endowing each of them with a
representative of its own. I would not call that one but rather the
characteristic trait of quantum mechanics, the one that enforces its
entire departure from classical lines of thought. By the interaction
the two representatives [the quantum states] have become entangled. –
Schrodinger
MDT provides both the “elementary foundations” of relativity that
Einstein yet sought, and the foundational physical reality underlying
and causing quantum nonlocality and entanglement, which Schrodinger
labeled the “characteristic trait” of QM. Einstein's Principle of
Relativity, as well as his two postulates, derive from MDT's simple
physical model (Fig. 1) and single postulate and equation which is
more concise and has the added benefits of providing for free will,
liberating us from the block universe, weaving change into the
fundamental fabric of space-time for the first time in the history of
relativity, and providing an elementary, foundational physical model
for time and all its arrows and asymmetries, entropy, and QM’s
nonlocality and entanglement, as well as reality's probabilistic
nature. The fourth dimension is inherently nonlocal via its invariant
expansion, which is the source of nonlocality as well as relativity.
All of this is more fully developed in Dr. E’s 2008 paper on MDT which
examines Einstein’s 1912 Manuscript on Relativity and derives the
Einsteinian/Minkowskian formulation of relativity from MDT’s dx4/
dt=ic: Time as an Emergent Phenomenon: Traveling Back to the Heroic
Age of Physics: fqxi.org/community/forum/topic/238 & fqxi.org/
community/forum/topic/432.
Simple, logical proofs of MDT:
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, entanglement, 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.
MDT PROOF#2: Einstein (1912 Man. on Rel.) and Minkowski wrote
x4=ict. Ergo dx4/dt=ic.
MDT 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.

MDT Sides With the Simplicity of the Heroic Greats in Word, Equation,
and Deed
MDT presents a new universal invariant reflecting a foundational
physical reality of a fourth expanding dimension—an elementary law
from which Einstein's Principle of Relativity can be built by pure
deduction. Begin with a universe with four dimensions x1, x2, x3, x4
where the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial
dimensions at the rate of c, dx4/dt=ic, and all of relativity is shown
to naturally emerge in Dr. E’s above paper, as does quantum mechanics'
nonlocality and entanglement, wave-particle duality, space-time
duality, mass-energy duality, entropy, and time and all its arrows and
asymmetries.
Behind it all is surely an idea so simple, so beautiful, that when we
grasp it - in a decade, a century, or a millennium—we will all say to
each other, how could it have been otherwise? How could we have been
so stupid? –Wheeler
Three Rules of Work: Out of clutter find simplicity; From discord find
harmony; In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity. –Einstein
MDT presents a physical principle more fundamental than Einstein's
Principle of Relativity, as all of relativity naturally emerges from
MDT's postulate, along with time and all its arrows. And too, MDT,
via the natural smearing of locality into nonlocality heralded via the
expansion of the fourth dimension, provides a physical model for
quantum entanglement—that which Schrodinger stated was the
“characteristic trait” of quantum mechanics. So it is that MDT
provides a common, foundational physical model for quantum mechanics
and relativity, thusly unifying them on a physical level.
A simple postulate and equation dx4/dt=ic bestows upon us a myriad of
profound consequences across all realms of physics—granting us both
the “elementary foundations” for relativity that Einstein yet sought,
while also providing the elementary foundations for Schrodinger’s
“characteristic trait” of QM—entanglement. MDT rides with the
simplicity of the heroic Greats in word, equation, and deed:
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more
violent. It takes a touch of genius—and a lot of courage—to move in
the opposite direction. –Einstein
Mathematicians may flatter themselves that they possess new ideas
which mere human language is as yet unable to express. Let them make
the effort to express these ideas in appropriate words without the aid
of symbols, and if they succeed they will not only lay us laymen under
a lasting obligation, but, we venture to say, they will find
themselves very much enlightened during the process, and will even be
doubtful whether the ideas as expressed in symbols had ever quite
found their way out of the equations into their minds. –Maxwell
I don't believe in mathematics. –Einstein
Do not worry about your difficulties in mathematics, I assure you that
mine are greater. –Einstein
Geometry is not true, it is advantageous. –Poincare
In Einstein's Mistakes, Dr. Hans Ohanian reports on how physics
advances via the emphasis not on math, but on physical reality, “(Max)
Born described the weak point in Einstein's work in those final years:
“. . . now he tried to do without any empirical facts, by pure
thinking. He believed in the power of reason to guess the laws
according to which God built the world.”” MDT exalts nature and the
physical reality of a timeless, ageless photon, providing a simple,
unifying physical model for entropy, statistical mechanics,
relativity, and quantum mechanics.
A good decision is based on knowledge and not on numbers. –Plato
Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can
be counted counts. –Einstein
Mathematics are well and good but nature keeps dragging us around by
the nose. –Einstein
In Disturbing the Universe, Freeman Dyson writes, “Dick [Feynman]
fought back against my skepticism, arguing that Einstein had failed
because he stopped thinking in concrete physical images (as MDT does!)
and became a manipulator of equations. I had to admit that was true.
The great discoveries of Einstein's earlier years were all based on
direct physical intuition. Einstein's later unified theories failed
because they were only sets of equations without physical meaning.
Dick's sum-over-histories theory was in the spirit of the young
Einstein, not of the old Einstein. It was solidly rooted in physical
reality.” In The Trouble With Physics, Lee Smolin writes that Bohr
was not a Feynman “shut up and calculate” physicist, and from the
above Dyson quote, it appears that Feynman wasn't either. Lee writes,
“Mara Beller, a historian who has studied his [Bohr's] work in detail,
points out that there was not a single calculation in his research
notebooks, which were all verbal arguments and pictures.” Please see
MDT’s Fig. 1, presenting a physical model, at the end of this
document. (Many more to come!)
In Dark Matters, Dr. Percy Seymour writes, “Albert Einstein was a
great admirer of Newton, Faraday, and Maxwell. In his office he had
framed copies of portraits of these scientists. He had this to say
about Faraday and Maxwell: “The greatest change in the axiomatic basis
of physics—in other words, of our conception of the structure—since
Newton laid the foundation of theoretical physics was brought about by
Faraday's and Maxwell's work on electromagnetic phenomena.”
In his book Einstein, Banesh Hoffman and the great Michael Faraday
exalt physical reality over mere math:
Meanwhile, however, the English experimenter Michael Farady was making
outstanding experimental discoveries in electricity and magnetism.
Being largely self-taught and lacking mathematical facility, he could
not interpret his results in the manner of Ampere. And this was
fortunate, since it led to a revolution in science. . . most
physicists adept at mathematics thought his concepts mathematically
naïve.
Bohr and Einstein debating the nature of quantum mechanics.
Einstein: God does not play dice with the universe.
Neils Bohr: Einstein, stop telling God what to.
Had Einstein wholeheartedly accepted the physical reality of quantum
mechanics and the natural nonlocality and entanglement of photons it
implied, perhaps he would have seen that not only were light and time
connected in relativity, but that relativity and quantum mechanics
were connected by a deeper physical reality of a fourth dimension
expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions at c. After all,
Einstein did write x1=x, x2=y, x3=z, and x4 = ict (implying dx4/dt=ic
to those bold enough to see it), only he arrived at this years after
he set forth the principle of relativity and its two postulates. MDT
starts with a more fundamental physical principle and equation—dx4/
dt=ic—and it derives all of relativity while also providing a physical
model for quantum entanglement and nonlocality, and thus its
probabilistic nature.
MDT asks: Why Relativity, Entanglement, Entropy, Nonlocality & Time?
The Beauty of Wonderment
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is
the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is
a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe,
is as good as dead: his eyes are closed. –Einstein
The important thing is not to stop questioning. –Einstein
It is interesting that Einstein introduced relativity as a principle—
as a primary law not deduced from anything else. Millions have seen
Einstein’s relativity born out via experiment, but it was I who asked,
“why relativity?” What physical model—what deeper physical reality
underlies relativity? Why relativity, entanglement, entropy,
nonlocality, and time? Why free will and motion, and how come we’re
not frozen in a block universe, as certain popular interpretations of
relativity suggest? And I found the answer in a more fundamental
invariance—the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three
spatial dimensions, or dx4/dt = ic. Change is fundamentally embedded
in space-time. And not only can all of relativity be derived from this
(as it is in Dr. E’s 2008 paper Time as an Emergent Phenomenon:
Traveling Back to the Heroic Age of Physics: fqxi.org/community/forum/
topic/238 & fqxi.org/community/forum/topic/432), but suddenly we have
a physical model for entropy, time and its arrows and asymmetries in
all realms, free will, and quantum nonlocality and entanglement. MDT
accounts for the constant speed of light c—both its independence of
the source and its independence of the velocity of the observer, while
establishing it as the fastest, slowest, and *only* velocity for all
entities and objects moving through space-time, as well as the maximum
velocity that anything is measured to move. And suddenly we see a
physical basis for E=mc2. Energy and mass are the same thing—it's just
that energy is mass caught upon the fourth expanding dimension, and
thus pure energy—photons with zero rest mass—surf along at c.
In Einstein's Mistakes, Ohanian writes, “Einstein acknowledged his
debt to Newton and to Maxwell, but he was not fully aware of the
extent of Galileo's fatherhood. In an introduction he wrote for
Galileo's celebrated Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems,
he faults Galileo for failing to produce a general mathematical
proof. Galileo regarded relativity as an empirical, observational
fact, that is, a law of nature, and Einstein's own formulation of the
Principle of Relativity three hundred years later imitated Galileo's
in treating this principle as a law of nature and not as a
mathematical deduction from anything else.”
Einstein’s Principle of Relativity Derived from MDT: MDT’s Diverse
Successes
Well, MDT provides a more fundamental law with an equation: dx4/dt =
ic, from which relativity is derived in Dr. E’s above paper. 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
MDT & Nobel Laureate Physicists vs. String Theory/LQG
MDT was inspired in part by Einstein's words pertaining to the higher
purpose of physical theories:
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. . . 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. –Einstein
Contrast MDT’s elegant, unifying successes with String Theory's “not
even wrongishness” and now entrenched religion of failure. The first
page of String Theory in a Nutshell states in a footnoted sentence:
String Theory has been the leading candidate … for a theory that
consistently unifies all the fundamental forces of nature, including
gravity. It gained popularity because it provides a theory that is UV
finite.(1) . . . The footnote (1) reads: “Although there is no
rigorous proof to all orders that the theory is UV finite...” –STRING
THEORY IN A NUTSHELL
So you see, string theory is not a finite theory, but this is
generally kept to the footnotes, when mentioned at all. Many Nobel
Laureate physicists harbor reservations regarding strings:
We don’t know what we are talking about . --Nobel Laureate David Gross

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 Ehrenfest (Imagine doing this for
10-30+ dimensions!)

String theory is like a 50 year old woman wearing too much lipstick. -
Robert Laughlin, Nobel Laureate
Actually, I would not even be prepared to call string theory a
“theory” rather a “model” or not even that: just a hunch. After all, a
theory should come together with instructions on how to deal with it
to identify the things one wishes to describe, in our case the
elementary particles, and one should, at least in principle, be able
to formulate the rules for calculating the properties of these
particles, and how to make new predictions for them. Imagine that I
give you a chair, while explaining that the legs are still missing,
and that the seat, back and armrest will perhaps be delivered soon;
whatever I did give you, can I still call it a chair? –‘t Hooft,
Nobel Laureate
It is tragic, but now, we have the string theorists, thousands of
them, that also dream of explaining all the features of nature. They
just celebrated the 20th anniversary of superstring theory. So when
one person spends 30 years, it's a waste, but when thousands waste 20
years in modern day, they celebrate with champagne. I find that
curious. -Glashow, Nobel Laureate
I don't like that they're not calculating anything. I don't like that
they don't check their ideas. I don't like that for anything that
disagrees with an experiment, they cook up an explanation-a fix-up to
say, “Well, it might be true.” For example, the theory requires ten
dimensions. Well, maybe there's a way of wrapping up six of the
dimensions. Yes, that's all possible mathematically, but why not
seven? . . . So the fact that it might disagree with experience is
very tenuous, it doesn't produce anything; it has to be excused most
of the time. It doesn't look right. -Feynman
But superstring physicists have not yet shown that theory really
works. They cannot demonstrate that the standard theory is a logical
outcome of string theory. They cannot even be sure that their
formalism includes a description of such things as protons and
electrons. And they have not yet made even one teeny-tiny experimental
prediction. Worst of all, superstring theory does not follow as a
logical consequence of some appealing set of hypotheses about nature.
—Nobel Laureate Sheldon Glashow
The great irony of string theory, however, is that the theory itself
is not unified. . . For a theory that makes the claim of providing a
unifying framework for all physical laws, it is the supreme irony that
the theory itself appears so disunited!! Introduction to
Superstrings & M-Theory –Kaku
If Einstein were alive today, he would be horrified at this state of
affairs. He would upbraid the profession for allowing this mess to
develop and fly into a blind rage over the transformation of his
beautiful creations into ideologies and the resulting proliferation of
logical inconsistencies. Einstein was an artist and a scholar but
above all he was a revolutionary. His approach to physics might be
summarized as hypothesizing minimally. Never arguing with experiment,
demanding total logical consistency, and mistrusting unsubstantiated
beliefs. The unsubstantial belief of his day was ether, or more
precisely the naïve version of ether that preceded relativity. The
unsubstantiated belief of our day is relativity itself. It would be
perfectly in character for him to reexamine the facts, toss them over
in his mind, and conclude that his beloved principle of relativity was
not fundamental at all but emergent (emergent from MDT!) . . . It
would mean that the fabric of space-time was not simply the stage on
which life played out but an organizational phenomenon, and that there
might be something beyond. (MDT!) -A Different Universe, Laughlin,
Nobel Laureate
[String Theory] has no practical utility, however, other than to
sustain the myth of the ultimate theory. There is no experimental
evidence for the existence of strings in nature, nor does the special
mathematics of string theory enable known experimental behavior to be
calculated or predicted more easily. . . String theory is, in fact, a
textbook case of Deceitful Turkey, a beautiful set of ideas that will
always remain just barely out of reach. Far from a wonderful
technological hope for a greater tomorrow, it is instead the tragic
consequence of an obsolete belief system-in which emergence plays no
role and dark law does not exist. —A Different Universe, Laughlin
MDT and Socrates’ & Feynman’s Honorable Pursuit of Truth
MDT delivers an ultimate theory underlying Huygens’ Principle which
Feynman’s many-paths formulation of QM also exalts, whereas Loop
Quantum Gravity and String Theory only sustain a myth of an ultimate
theory and thus perpetual funding. Nobel Laureates have referred to
this present era as the dark ages of physics, where progress in
physics is frozen in a block universe tied together with tiny,
vibrating strings and little loops which nobody has ever physically
seen, violating the fundamental maxim of science put forth by Galileo,
Einstein, et. al. Feynman echoes the words of the heroic Achilles
(whom Socrates referenced while defending philosophy as a virtuous
pursuit in the Apology ) in defining science as an honest, honorable
pursuit: “As I detest the doorways of death, so too do I detest that
man who speaks forth one thing while hiding in his heart
another.” (Achilles in Homer’s Iliad )
The first principle is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the
easiest person to fool. … You just have to be honest in a conventional
way after that. . . I would like to add something that's not essential
to the science, but something I kind of believe, which is that you
should not fool the layman when you're talking as a scientist. . . I'm
talking about a specific, extra type of integrity that is not lying,
but bending over backwards to show how you are maybe wrong, that you
ought to have when acting as a scientist. And this is our
responsibility as scientists, certainly to other scientists, and I
think to laymen. . . If you're representing yourself as a scientist,
then you should explain to the layman what you're doing—and if they
don't want to support you under those circumstances, then that's their
decision. –Nobel Laureate Feynman, Cargo Cult Science
To me there has never been a higher source of earthly honor or

MDT and the GPS Clocks/Twins Paradox
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. –Einstein
Anyone who uses or benefits from GPS readily admits the glaring
asymmetry in the twins paradox, and thus that there must be a frame of
absolute rest and a frame of absolute motion. Now Einstein’s
Principle of Relativity is also absolutely true, as due to MDT’s dx4/
dt=ic’s inextricable linking of light, time, change, and dimension in
all acts of measurements, it is impossible to conduct experiments
allowing one to fathom relative motion in the confines of an inertial
frame. But the empirical fact that the GPS clocks on the orbiting
satellites must be adjusted for relativistic time dilation, testify to
the fact that their frame of reference is fundamentally different from
the earthbound clocks’. MDT accounts for this asymmetry in the twin
paradox/GPS, while also fully supporting the mathematics of Einstein’s
relativity and Principle of Relativity, which is derived from dx4/
dt=ic in Dr. E’s Time as an Emergent Phenomena. MDT accomplished this
by proposing a frame of absolute motion—the fourth expanding dimension
which photons surf, supported by the empirical facts that 1) a photon
is in a state of absolute motion, having no rest mass; and 2) a
timeless, ageless, nonlocal photon remains in one place in the fourth
dimension, whose expansion is the source of nonlocality.
Experimental Proofs of MDT
In addition to the GPS asymmetry which proves MDT, let us study the
fourth dimension via experiment in earthbound labs. A photon, which
is known to stay stationary in the fourth dimension, provides the
ideal physical entity and tool to probe and characterize the fourth
dimension on a physical level, so let us study a photon as it is
emitted from a source. Via numerous experiments ranging from double-
slit interference experiments to those demonstrating nonlocal
entanglement, the photon, in its simplest, most natural form, exists
as a nonlocal, spherically-symmetric, probabilistic wave-front
expanding at c. As relativity tells us that the timeless, ageless,
nonlocal photon remains in one place in the fourth dimension, we can
empirically deduce that the fourth dimension must physically be a
spherically-symmetric expanding wavefront of locality, supported
directly by experimental evidence and observation, thusly proving
MDT’s postulate of a fourth expanding dimension and equation dx4/dt=ic—
a hitherto unsung universal invariant

remain in the same place (agelessness/entanglement) in the fourth

appears as expanding (never shrinking) probabilistic spherically-

a higher chance of being found further apart over time (entropy).

No, that's awkward; let me try again.

dx4/dt=ic
“Equations are more important to me, because politics is for the
present, but an equation is something for eternity.” –Albert Einstein
ABSTRACT:
Over the past few decades prominent physicists have noted that physics
has diverged away from its classical, heroic journey traditionally
defined by describing, fathoming, and characterizing foundational
truths of physical reality via simple, elegant, logically-consistent
postulates and equations humbling themselves before empirical
reality. Herein the spirit of physics is again exalted by the heroic
words of the Greats—by Galileo, Newton, Faraday, Maxwell, Planck,
Einstein, Bohr, and Schrodinger—the Founding Fathers upon whose
shoulders physics stands. And from that pinnacle, a novel physical
theory is proposed, complete with a novel physical model celebrating a
hitherto unsung universal invariant and an equation reflecting the
foundational physical reality of a fourth dimension expanding relative
to the three spatial dimensions at the rate of c, or dx4/dt=ic,
providing both the “elementary foundations” for relativity which
Einstein yet sought and QM’s “characteristic trait”—entanglement, and
its nonlocal, probabilistic nature. From MDT’s experimentally-
verified equation relativity is derived while time is unfrozen and
free will exalted, while a physical model accounting for quantum
nonlocality is presented. Entropy, Huygens’ Principle; the wave/
particle, energy/mass, space/time, and E/B dualities; and time and all
its arrows and asymmetries emerge from a common, foundational physical
model. MDT exalts Einstein’s “empirical facts,” “naturalness,” and
“logical simplicity.” For the first time in the history of
relativity, change is woven into the fabric of space-time, and the
timeless, ageless, massless, nonlocal photon of Galileo’s/Einstein’s
“empirical world” is explained via a foundational physical model,
alongside the fact that c is constant, independent of the source, and
the maximum velocity in the universe, as well as the only velocity
through space-time. The empirical GPS clocks’ time dilation/twins
paradox is resolved by proposing a frame of absolute rest—the three
spatial dimensions, and a frame of absolute motion—the fourth
expanding dimension upon which ageless photons of zero rest mass surf;
which underlie and give rise to Einstein’s Principle of Relativity.
When the solution is simple, God is answering. –Einstein

Moving Dimensions Theory’s dx4/dt=ic: Traveling Back to the Heroic Age
of Physics
In Memory of John Archibald Wheeler
by Dr. Elliot McGucken
MDT’s postulate: The fourth dimensions is expanding relative to the
three spatial dimensions at c. MDT’s equation: dx4/dt=ic.
Simple, logical proofs of MDT:
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, entanglement, 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.
MDT PROOF#2: Einstein (1912 Man. on Rel.) and Minkowski wrote
x4=ict. Ergo dx4/dt=ic.
MDT 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.

ABSTRACT
In his 1912 Manuscript on Relativity, Einstein never stated that time
is the fourth dimension, but rather he wrote x4 = ict. The fourth
dimension is not time, but ict. Despite this, prominent physicists
have oft equated time and the fourth dimension, leading to un-
resolvable paradoxes and confusion regarding time’s physical nature,
as physicists mistakenly projected properties of the three spatial
dimensions onto a time dimension, resulting in curious concepts
including frozen time and block universes in which the past and future
are omni-present, thusly denying free will, while implying the
possibility of time travel into the past, which visitors from the
future have yet to verify. Beginning with the postulate that time is
an emergent phenomenon resulting from a fourth dimension expanding
relative to the three spatial dimensions at the rate of c, diverse
phenomena from relativity, quantum mechanics, and statistical
mechanics are accounted for and unified with a hitherto unsung
universal invariant dx4/dt=ic. Time dilation, the equivalence of mass
independently of the three spatial dimensions, fathering time. For
the first time in the history of relativity, change is woven into the
fundamental fabric of spacetime as we are liberated from the block
universe. MDT’s model underlies and accounts for time in quantum
mechanics, relativity, and statistical mechanics, as well as entropy,
the universe’s expansion, and time’s arrows and asymmetries in all
arenas.
The above equation physically accounts for quantum mechanics’ action-
at-a-distance (as the expanding fourth dimension distributes locality,
fathering nonlocality) and relativity’s length contraction, as well as
entanglement and the equivalence of mass and energy. Diverse dualities
—wave/particle, time/space, and mass/energy—all originate from this
same principle. The model accounts for the gravitational redshift and
the gravitational slowing of clocks, while showing why there is no
need to quantize gravity as no physical entities are transferred in
gravitational alterations of energy. The theory provides a physical
model for time and its arrows—time is not the fourth dimension, but
rather a phenomenon that emerges because the fourth dimension is
expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions in units of the
Planck length. As the measurement of time is inextricably wed to
energy, which is the propagation of photons, and as photons propagate
as matter surfing the fourth expanding dimension, time inherits
properties of the fourth dimension in relativity’s mathematics, but
time, as measured on our watches, recorded in our memories, and
perceived in radioactive decays and entropy, is not the fourth
dimension. The t axis on space-time axis is a human construct—a
useful construct, but one that misleadingly implies the possibility of
time travel into the past.
Relativity freezes the expansion of the fourth dimension, only ever
considering instantaneous snapshots of the universe. Quantum
Mechanics treats the fourth dimension as a dynamical element, and
hence quantum mechanics is a science defined by flux—by differential
operators. QM’s nonlocality and the relativity of simultaneity both
derive from the fundamental expansion of the fourth dimension, which
distributes a local point into a nonlocal probability distribution at
the rate of c, invoking de Broglie’s pilot waves and Kaluza-Klein
geometries, where each point can be viewed as a compactified
dimension, expanding in accordance with Huygens’ Principle. Hence a
photon’s motion is described by a spherically-symmetric probabilistic
wave-front expanding at c; as a photon is but matter fully rotated
into the fourth expanding dimension. And hence the interference
pattern seen in Young’s Double-Slit experiment, as the photon passes
through both slits as a nonlocal wave.
QM, relativity, and statistical mechanics all offer parallel clues not
only into the nature of time, but into the more fundamental nature of
a universe in which the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the
three spatial dimensions at the rate of c (dx4/dt=ic), thusly weaving
change into the fundamental fabric of spacetime where it needs to be
as without change there can be no measurement, and without measurement
there can be no physics. MDT liberates us from a block universe,
while unifying time’s arrows and accounting for curious phenomena in
QM and relativity with a unique and simple physical model, which views
time as an emergent phenomenon. The expansion of the fourth dimension
is the fundamental motion underlying all motion, setting the singular
velocity through space-time for every physical entity to c, while
fostering Huygens’ Principle—the fundamental expansive wave nature of
all matter and energy—in both the quantum mechanical and classical
worlds, manifesting the above postulate and equation in Feynman’s many-
paths interpretation and wave pools alike.
Both QM’s “nonlocality”—manifested in the double-slit experiment,
tunneling, and the EPR paradox, and relativity’s ageless photon—which
represents time dilation’s limit, are founded upon a physical reality
wherein no matter how far a photon travels in the three spatial
dimensions, it yet retains a locality in the fourth dimension,
implying the inherent nonlocality of the fourth dimension which is
naturally accounted for by its fundamental expansion relative to the
three spatial dimensions. The expansion of the fourth dimension
manifests itself as an expanding 3D spherical surface, and every point
on that sphere retains its original compactified locality and
orthogonality, in turn expanding (Huygens’ Principle), as locality is
relative to the three spatial dimensions. The nonlocality of the
fourth dimension, caused by its expansion at c, gives rise to the
physical connectivity between the separated photons.
Is it not curious that entanglement only occurs for two initially-
interacting particles or photons? Is it not curious that all
nonlocality has a local point of origin in the three spatial
dimensions? Is it not curious that the maximum rate of the
distribution of nonlocality is c? All of this points to the fact that
the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial
dimensions at c, or dx4/dt=ic.
Begin with a 4D universe x1, x2, x3, and x4 wherein dx4/dt=ic, and all
of relativity naturally arises. Let us derive the Lorentz
Transformations and Einstein’s relativity, including time dilation,
length contraction, and the equivalence of mass and energy from our
simple postulate that the fourth dimension is expanding relative to
the three spatial dimensions and its representative equation:
Let D be the constant -ica+x4(a) and re-label u with t. Then we have
Dropping the arbitrary constant, we get:
Or
x4 = ict
Armed with this simple result, we are ready to return to Einstein’s
1912 manuscript and provide the motivation for a four-dimensional
coordinate system where the fourth dimension is written as x4 = ict.
When Einstein wrote x4 = ict, inspired by Minkowski’s work, he never
qualified the fundamental motivation for this—the fact that the fourth
dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions. When
Einstein penned his 1912 manuscript, he did not perceive that
relativity’s equivalence of mass and energy and QM’s wave-particle
duality—time dilation and the EPR paradox—entropy and length
contraction—E=mc2 and the double slit experiment—could all be
accounted for with a fourth expanding dimension. Einstein did not
perceive that quantum mechanics’ nonlocality and entanglement—its
characteristic trait according to Schrodenger—could be accounted fro
with dx4/dt=ic, as Einstein did not fully accept QM’s nonlocality and
entanglement. Nor did he recognize that while relativity considers
instantaneous frozen snapshots of the universe, quantum mechanics
acknowledges the fundamental flux of the expanding fourth dimension,
and is thus based on differential operators and probabilistic
wavefronts, which acknowledge the perpetual smearing of locality into
non-locality due to the constant expansion of the fourth dimension,
which is the fount of all change in the universe, as well as of all of
time’s arrows and asymmetries.
and
and
this substitution works, as well as the more fundamental physical
reality underlying and motivating relativity, quantum mechanics, and
entropy, as well as time’s arrows and asymmetries—the fourth dimension
unfreezing time, liberating us from a block universe, and providing
physical interpretations for quantum mechanical phenomenon and
statistical mechanics, as well as a fundamental physical model upon
which relativity and quantum mechanics rests.

MDT & Nobel Laureate Physicists vs. String Theory/LQG
MDT was inspired in part by Einstein's words pertaining to the higher
purpose of physical theories:
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. . . 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.38 –Einstein
Contrast MDT’s elegant, unifying successes with String Theory's “not
even wrongishness” and now entrenched religion of failure. The first
page of String Theory in a Nutshell states in a footnoted sentence:
String Theory has been the leading candidate … for a theory that
consistently unifies all the fundamental forces of nature, including
gravity. It gained popularity because it provides a theory that is UV
finite.(1) . . . The footnote (1) reads: “Although there is no
rigorous proof to all orders that the theory is UV finite...”39 –
STRING THEORY IN A NUTSHELL
So you see, string theory is not a finite theory, but this is
generally kept to the footnotes, when mentioned at all. Many Nobel
Laureate physicists harbor reservations regarding strings:
We don’t know what we are talking about40. --Nobel Laureate David
Gross on string theory
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 Ehrenfest (Imagine doing this for
10-30+ dimensions!)
String theorists don't make predictions, they make excuses41. –
Feynman, Nobel Laureate
String theory is like a 50 year old woman wearing too much lipstick.42
-Robert Laughlin, Nobel Laureate
Actually, I would not even be prepared to call string theory a
“theory” rather a “model” or not even that: just a hunch. After all, a
theory should come together with instructions on how to deal with it
to identify the things one wishes to describe, in our case the
elementary particles, and one should, at least in principle, be able
to formulate the rules for calculating the properties of these
particles, and how to make new predictions for them. Imagine that I
give you a chair, while explaining that the legs are still missing,
and that the seat, back and armrest will perhaps be delivered soon;
whatever I did give you, can I still call it a chair?43 –‘t Hooft,
Nobel Laureate
It is tragic, but now, we have the string theorists, thousands of
them, that also dream of explaining all the features of nature. They
just celebrated the 20th anniversary of superstring theory. So when
one person spends 30 years, it's a waste, but when thousands waste 20
years in modern day, they celebrate with champagne. I find that
curious.44 -Glashow, Nobel Laureate
22
I don't like that they're not calculating anything. I don't like that
they don't check their ideas. I don't like that for anything that
disagrees with an experiment, they cook up an explanation-a fix-up to
say, “Well, it might be true.” For example, the theory requires ten
dimensions. Well, maybe there's a way of wrapping up six of the
dimensions. Yes, that's all possible mathematically, but why not
seven? . . . So the fact that it might disagree with experience is
very tenuous, it doesn't produce anything; it has to be excused most
of the time. It doesn't look right.45 -Feynman
But superstring physicists have not yet shown that theory really
works. They cannot demonstrate that the standard theory is a logical
outcome of string theory. They cannot even be sure that their
formalism includes a description of such things as protons and
electrons. And they have not yet made even one teeny-tiny experimental
prediction. Worst of all, superstring theory does not follow as a
logical consequence of some appealing set of hypotheses about nature.
46 —Glashow
The great irony of string theory, however, is that the theory itself
is not unified. . . For a theory that makes the claim of providing a
unifying framework for all physical laws, it is the supreme irony that
the theory itself appears so disunited!!47 Introduction to
Superstrings & M-Theory –Kaku
If Einstein were alive today, he would be horrified at this state of
affairs. He would upbraid the profession for allowing this mess to
develop and fly into a blind rage over the transformation of his
beautiful creations into ideologies and the resulting proliferation of
logical inconsistencies. Einstein was an artist and a scholar but
above all he was a revolutionary. His approach to physics might be
summarized as hypothesizing minimally. Never arguing with experiment,
demanding total logical consistency, and mistrusting unsubstantiated
beliefs. The unsubstantial belief of his day was ether, or more
precisely the naïve version of ether that preceded relativity. The
unsubstantiated belief of our day is relativity itself. It would be
perfectly in character for him to reexamine the facts, toss them over
in his mind, and conclude that his beloved principle of relativity was
not fundamental at all but emergent (emergent from MDT!) . . . It

[String Theory] has no practical utility, however, other than to
sustain the myth of the ultimate theory. There is no experimental
evidence for the existence of strings in nature, nor does the special
mathematics of string theory enable known experimental behavior to be
calculated or predicted more easily. . . String theory is, in fact, a
textbook case of Deceitful Turkey, a beautiful set of ideas that will
always remain just barely out of reach. Far from a wonderful
technological hope for a greater tomorrow, it is instead the tragic
consequence of an obsolete belief system-in which emergence plays no
role and dark law does not exist.49 —A Different Universe, Laughlin
Simple, logical proofs of MDT:
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, entanglement, 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.
MDT PROOF#2: Einstein (1912 Man. on Rel.) and Minkowski wrote x4=ict.
Ergo dx4/dt=ic.
MDT 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.
MDT twitter proof (limited to 140 characters): SR: photon is
stationary in 4th dimension. QM: photon is probability wave expanding
@ c. Ergo: 4th dimension expands @ c & MDT: dx4/dt=ic –from

A people that were to honor falsehood, defamation, fraud, and murder
would be unable, indeed, to subsist for very long.20 –Einstein
dx4/dt=ic means that the fourth dimension is expanding at c relative
to the three spatial dimensions.
It is interesting that Einstein introduced relativity as a principle--
as a primary law not deduced from anything else.
Well, I guess I was dumb enough to even ask, "why relativity?"
And I found the answer in a more fundamental invariance--the fourth
dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions, or
dx4/dt = ic. Change is fundamentally embedded in space-time. And not
only can all of relativity be derived from this, but suddenly we had a
*physical* model for entropy, time and its arrows and assymetries in
all realms, free will, and quantum nonlocality and entanglement. MDT
accounts for the the constant speed of light c--both its independence
of the source and its independence of the velocity of the observer,
while establishing it as the fastest, slowest, and only velocity for
all entities and objects moving through space-time, as well as the
maximum velocity that anything is measured to move. And suddenly we
see a *physical* basis for E=mc^2. Energy and mass are the same thing--
it's just that energy is mass caught upon the fourth expanding
dimension, and thus it surfs along at "c."
On page 37 of "Einstein's Mistakes, The Failings of Human Genius," by
Hans Ochanian, we read,
"Einstein acknowledged his debt to Newton and to Maxwell, but he was
not fully aware of the extent of Galileo's fatherhood. In an
introduction he wrote for Galileo's celebrated Dialogue Concerning the
Two Chief World Systems, he faults Galileo for failing to produce a
general mathematical proof. Galileo regarded relativity as an
empirical, observational fact, that is, a law of nature, and
Einstein's own formulation of the Principle of Relativity three
hundred years later imitated Galileo's in treating this principle as a
law of nature and not as a mathematical deduction from anything else."
Well, MDT provides a more fundamental law--a hitherto unsung universal
invariant--with an equation: dx4/dt = ic, from which relativity is
derived in my paper. And an added benefit are all the other *physical*
entities dx4/dt=ic accounts for with a *physical* model, from Huygens'
principle to entropy to quantum entanglement and nonlocality to time
and all her arrows and assymetries.

"“In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth
the humble reasoning of a single individual.”
--Galileo Galilei
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,
waveparticle,
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 treat
of the said already condemned MDT doctrine, and bring forward
arguments of
much efficacy in its favour, without arriving at any solution: I have
been judged
vehemently 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 the
fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions
at c, that
change 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
reasonably
conceived 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, which
MDT falsely liberated us from, while falsely granting us free will and
free
thought, 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 which
have 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
Witten
forbid!) I submit myself to all the pains and penalties which by the
Sacred
Canons 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 indecipherable
arxiv.org papers--which I touch with my own hands.
I, Dr. E, aforesaid have abjured, sworn, and promised, and hold myself
bound as
above; 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 me
read it and smile.
And I say, “And yet it--the fourth dimension--moves! Eppur si muove!”

humble reasoning of a single individual.” –Galileo Galilei
“Books on physics are full of complicated mathematical formulae. But
thought and ideas, not formulae, are the beginning of every physical
theory.” --Einstein/Infeld, The Evolution of Physics
One can see a table listing all the advantages of Moving Dimesnions
Theory versus String Theory and LQG beginning on page 23 of this
document:
“my dear Kepler, what do you think of the foremost philosophers of
this
University? In spite of my oft-repeated efforts and invitations, they
have refused,
with the obstinacy of a glutted adder, to look at the planets or Moon
or my
telescope.” --Galileo Galilei
We must forever keep physical reality in the front and center, along
with logic
and reason and *physical* intuition--otherwise progress in physics
will grind to a
halt, as it has for the past thirty years.
“But before mankind could be ripe for a science which takes in the
whole of
reality, a second fundamental truth was needed, which only became
common
property among philosophers with the advent of Kepler and Galileo.
Pure logical
thinking cannot yield us any knowledge of the empirical world; all
knowledge of
reality starts form experience and ends in it. Propositions arrived at
by purely
logical means are completely empty as regards reality. Because Galileo
saw this,
and particularly because he drummed it into the scientific world, he
is the father
of modern physics -- indeed, of modern science altogether.” --Albert
Einstein,
Ideas and Opinions
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
fivedimensional
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 that
mountaintop. 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 nonlocality
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 in
my paper--the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three
spatial
dimensions--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.

APPENDIX 1
Time as an Emergent Phenomenon: Traveling Back to the Heroic Age of
Physics
In Memory of John Archibald Wheeler
by Dr. Elliot McGucken
ABSTRACT
In his 1912 Manuscript on Relativity, Einstein never stated that time
is the fourth dimension, but rather he wrote x4 = ict. The fourth
dimension is not time, but ict. Despite this, prominent physicists
have oft equated time and the fourth dimension, leading to un-
resolvable paradoxes and confusion regarding time’s physical nature,
as physicists mistakenly projected properties of the three spatial
dimensions onto a time dimension, resulting in curious concepts
including frozen time and block universes in which the past and future
are omni-present, thusly denying free will, while implying the
possibility of time travel into the past, which visitors from the
future have yet to verify. Beginning with the postulate that time is
an emergent phenomenon resulting from a fourth dimension expanding
relative to the three spatial dimensions at the rate of c, diverse
phenomena from relativity, quantum mechanics, and statistical
mechanics are accounted for. Time dilation, the equivalence of mass
and energy, quantum entanglement, nonlocality, wave-particle duality,
and entropy are shown to arise from a common, deeper physical reality
expressed with dx4/dt=ic. This postulate and equation, from which
Einstein’s relativity is derived, presents a fundamental model
accounting for the emergence of time, the constant velocity of light,
the fact that the maximum velocity is c, and the fact that c is
independent of the velocity of the source, as photons are but matter
surfing a fourth expanding dimension. In general relativity, Einstein
showed that the dimensions themselves could bend, curve, and move.
The present theory extends this principle, postulating that the fourth
dimension is moving independently of the three spatial dimensions,
distributing locality and fathering time. This physical model
underlies and accounts for time in quantum mechanics, relativity, and
statistical mechanics, as well as entropy, the universe’s expansion,
and time’s arrows and asymmetries in all arenas.
“More intellectual curiosity, versatility and yen for physics than
Elliot McGucken’s I have never seen in any senior or graduate
time is c, and the fact that c is independent of the velocity of the
source, as photons are but matter surfing a fourth expanding
dimension. In general relativity, Einstein showed that the dimensions
themselves could bend, curve, and move. The present theory extends
this principle, postulating that the fourth dimension is moving
independently of the three spatial dimensions, fathering time. This
model underlies and accounts for time in quantum mechanics,
relativity, and statistical mechanics, as well as entropy, the
universe’s expansion, and time’s arrows and asymmetries in all
arenas.
The above equation physically accounts for quantum mechanics’ action-
at-a-distance and relativity’s length contraction, as well as
entanglement and the equivalence of mass and energy. Diverse
dualities
—wave/particle, time/space, and mass/energy—all originate from this
same principle. The model accounts for the gravitational redshift and
the gravitational slowing of clocks, while showing why there is no
need to quantize gravity as no physical entities are transferred in
gravitational alterations of energy. The theory provides a physical
model for time and its arrows—time is not the fourth dimension, but
rather a phenomenon that emerges because the fourth dimension is
expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions in units of the
Planck length. As the measurement of time is inextricably wed to
energy, which is the propagation of photons, and as photons propagate
as matter surfing the fourth expanding dimension, time inherits
properties of the fourth dimension in relativity’s mathematics, but
time, as measured on our watches, recorded in our memories, and ...

Heroic love is the property of those superior natures who are called
insane (insano) not because they do not know, but because they over-
know (soprasanno). --http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Giordano_Bruno
If all things are in common among friends, the most precious is
Wisdom. What can Juno give which thou canst not receive from Wisdom?
What mayest thou admire in Venus which thou mayest not also
contemplate in Wisdom? Her beauty is not small, for the lord of all
things taketh delight in her. Her I have loved and diligently sought
from my youth up.
As quoted in Giordano Bruno : His Life and Thought (1950) by Dorothea
Waley Singer
It was proof of a base and low mind for one to wish to think with the
masses or majority, merely because the majority is the majority. Truth
does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of
the people. However, he cautioned that they should not be influenced
by the fervor of speech, but by the weight of his argument and the
majesty of truth.
This is a summation of the arguments of Bruno's speech in a debate at
the College of Cambray (25 May 1588) made by Coulson Turnbull in Life
and Teachings of Giordano Bruno : Philosopher, Martyr, Mystic 1548 -
1600 (1913), p. 41. It is not presented as a direct translation of his
statements, but a slight alteration of the first two sentences has
sometimes appeared on the internet as a quotation of Bruno: "It is a
proof of a base and low mind..." --http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/
Giordano_Bruno
I propose to give an account of the life of Giordano Bruno... who was
burnt under pretence of atheism, at Rome, in the year 1600 and of his
works which are perhaps the scarcest books ever printed... The most
industrious historians of speculative philosophy have not been able to
procure more than a few of his works... out of eleven, the titles of
which are preserved to us I have had an opportunity of perusing six.
