What's your guys' take on Moving Dimensions Theory? Seems it has a lot going for it based on this table (how accurate is this table?) [url]http://www.fqxi.org/data/forum-attachments/ Moving_Dimensions_Theory__Heros_Journey_Physics.pdf[/url] [url]http://www.fqxi.org/community/forum/topic/511[/url] What is Ultimately Possible in Physics? Physics! A Hero's Journey with Galileo, Newton, Faraday, Maxwell, Planck, Einstein, Schrodinger, Bohr, and the Greats towards Moving Dimensions Theory. E pur si muove! by Dr. Elliot McGucken ABSTRACT: Over the past few decades prominent physicists have noted that physics has diverged away from its heroic journey defined by boldly 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 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, nonlocal photon of Galileo's/ Einstein's "empirical world" is explained via a foundational physical model, alongside the fact that c is both constant and the maximum velocity in the universe. 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 If, relative to K, K' is a uniformly moving co-ordinate system devoid of rotation, then natural phenomena run their course with respect to K' according to exactly the same general laws as with respect to K. This statement is called the principle of relativity. -Einstein, 1954 No great discovery was ever made without a bold guess. -Newton For an idea that does not at first seem insane, there is no hope. - Einstein If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants. -Newton In questions of science, the authority of thousands is not worth the humble reasoning of one individual. -Galileo Books on physics are full of complicated mathematical formulae. But thought and ideas (the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions at c), not formulae, are the beginning of every physical theory. -Einstein/Infeld, The Evolution of Physics 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. - Einstein , Ideas and Opinions Epur si muove - (And yet it does move.) -Galileo .. 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 A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up with it. -Planck ...my observations have convinced me that some men, reasoning preposterously, first establish some conclusion in their minds which, either because of its being their own or because of their having received it from some person who has their entire confidence, impresses them so deeply that one finds it impossible ever to get it out of their heads. Such arguments in support of their fixed idea ... gain their instant acceptance ... whatever is brought forward against it, however ingenious and conclusive, they receive with disdain or with hot rage ... Beside themselves with passion, some of them would not be backward even about scheming to suppress and silence their adversaries.... No good can come of dealing with such people . . . their company may be not only unpleasant but dangerous. -Galileo Millions saw the apple fall, but Newton was the one who asked why. - Baruch What is Possible in Physics? Physics! Moving Dimensions Theory We are to admit no more causes of natural things than such as are both true and sufficient to explain their appearances. -Newton Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. - Einstein A physical theory can be satisfactory only if its structures are composed of elementary foundations. The theory of relativity is ultimately as little satisfactory as, for example, classical 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 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 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 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 [url] http://twitter.com/45surf[/url] A people that were to honor falsehood, defamation, fraud, and murder would be unable, indeed, to subsist for very long. -Einstein 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 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 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 Faraday) exalts 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. MDT Asks: Why Relativity, Entanglement, Entropy, Nonlocality, and Time? The important thing is not to stop questioning. -Einstein [url]http://fqxi.org/community/forum/topic/238[/url] [url]http://fqxi.org/community/forum/topic/432[/url] [url]http://www.fqxi.org/community/forum/topic/511[/url] found this @ facebook: [url]http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=2214376596&topic=10405[/ url][ Auf dieses Posting antworten ]
