Default The Beauty and Simplicity of Moving Dimensions Theory

The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.

This simple postulate offers a physical model underlying.

RELATIVITY:

1) length contraction
2) time dilation
3) the equivalence of mass and energy
4) the constant velocity of light
3) the independence of the speed of light from the velocity of the source

QUANTUMN MECHANICS
1) action at a distance
2) wave-particle duality
3) interference phenomena
4) EPR effect

THERMODYNAMICS
1) Time's arrow
2) Entropy

STRING THEORY'S MANY DIMENSIONS / KALUZA/KLEIN THEORY
1) a fourth expanding dimenion can be interepreted as many dimensions, each time it expands in units of the pankc length--as a tiny bubble/sphere with a radius of the planck length

THE UNITY OF THE DUALITIES
1) wave/particle duality
2) time/space duality
3) energy/mass duality
4) E/B duality

GENERAL RELATIVITY
1) Gravitational redshift

KNOWN PARADOXES
1) MDT explains away Godel's Block Universe
2) MDT unfreezes time
3) Zeon's Paradox

ONE GETS ALL OF THIS FROM A SIMPLE POSTULATE:

The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions in a sphereically symmetric manner.

Check out the t-shirt with a simple proof of MDT:
http://www.cafepress.com/autumnrangers.72464949

"The only way to stay stationary in the fourth dimension is to move at the speed of light through the three spatial dimensions. Ergo the fourth dimension is expanding at the rate of c relative to the three spatial dimenions."

How sad it is that when simple, elegant truth stares modern physicists in the face, they must close their eyes so as to get a postdoc or raise more funds for all the illicit contortions and deceitful machinations that is String Theory.

Moving Dimensions Theory is in complete agreement with all
experimental tests and phenomena associated with special and general relativity. MDT is in complete agreement with all physical phenomena as predicted by quantum mechanics and demonstrated in extensive experiments. The genius and novelty of MDT is that it presents a common physical model which shows that phenomena from both relativity and quantum mechanics derive from the same fundamental physical reality.

Nowhere does String Theory nor Loop Quantum Gravity account for quantum entanglement nor relativistic time dilation. MDT shows these derive from the same underlying physical reality. Nowhere does ST nor LQG account for wave-particle duality nor relativistic length contraction. MDT shows these derive from the same underlying physical reality. Nowhere does ST nor LQG account for the constant speed of light, nor the independence of the speed of light on the velocity of the source, nor entropy, nor time's arrow. MDT shows these derive from the same underlying physical reality. Nowhere does String Theory nor
Loop Quantum Gravity resolve the paradox of Godel's Block Universe which troubled Eisntein. MDT resolves this paradox.

Simply put, MDT replaces the contemporary none-theories with a physical theory, complete with a simple postulate that unifies
formerly disparate phenomena within a simple context.

THE GENERAL POSTULATE
OF DYNAMIC DIMENSIONS THEORY
The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial
dimensions.

If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it.
-Albert Einstein

But after thirty years of the absurdity of String Theory, millions of
dollars from the NSF, and billions of complementary dollars from tax
and tuition and endowments spent on killing physics and indie
physicists, perhaps it's time for something that makes sense-for a
physical theory that actually accounts for a deeper reality from which
both Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, from which time, entanglement,
gravity, entropy, interference, the constant speed of light,
relativistic time dilation, length contraction, and the equivalence of
mass and energy emerge. It's time for Moving Dimensions Theory-MDT.
-The Physicist with No Name

I know what you're thinking. Did he say there were thirty-six
dimensions or only thirty-five? Well to tell you the truth in all this
excitement I've kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .45
Revolver-the most powerful hand gun in the world and would blow your
head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question--Do I feel
lucky? Well, do ya punk!? -Clint Eastwood

I'm interested in the fact that the less secure a man is, the more
likely he is to have extreme prejudice. -Clint Eastwood

Go ahead. Make my day. -Clint Eastwood

MDT IN BRIEF
Without further adieu, allow me to present the beauty and elegance of
MDT by showing both its simplicity and far-reaching ability to account
for and answer fundamental questions. All of the below will be
elaborated on throughout the book.

Questions Addressed by MDT:

Why does light have a maximum, constant speed independent of the
source? The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three
spatial dimensions. A photon is momenergy that exists orthogonal to
the three spatial dimensions. It is carried along by the expanding
fourth dimension. So no matter how fast the source is moving when the
photon is emitted, the photon travels at the rate with which the
fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial
dimensions. Thus c is always independent of the movement of the
source.

Why are light and energy quantized? The fourth dimension is expanding
in a quantized manner relative to the three spatial dimensions. Light
and energy are matter rotated completely into the fourth expanding
dimension, and as it expands in a quantized manner, light and energy
are thus quantized.

Why is the velocity of light constant in all frames? Time is an
emergent phenomena that arises because the fourth dimension is
expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions. The flow of time
is inextricably wed to the emission and propagation of photons. In all
biological, mechanical, and electronic clocks, the emission and
propagation of photons is what determines time. The velocity of light
is always measured with respect to time, which is inextricably linked
to the velocity of light. This tautology ensures that the velocity of
light, measured relative to the velocity of light, will always be the
same.

How can photons display both wave and particle properties? The
fundamental photon propagates as a spherical wave-front, surfing the
fourth expanding dimension. This is because the fourth expanding
dimension appears as a spherical wavefront as it expands through the
three spatial dimensions. The act of measurement localizes the
photon's momenergy, taking it out of the expanding fourth dimension
and trapping it in the three stationary spatial dimensions, and it
appears as a localized particle, trapped by electrons as it blackens a
grain on a photographic plate.

How can matter display both wave and particle properties? The
fundamental electron is abuzz with photons. Photons are continually
being emitted into the fourth expanding dimension and reabsorbed by
the electron. The continual dance with these photons gives the
electron its wave properties. Nothing moves without photons which up
the net probability that the combine momenergy will be in the
expanding fourth dimension. The more photons one adds to an object,
the greater the chance it has of existing in the expanding fourth
dimension, and thus it moves.

Why are there non-local effects in quantum mechanics? The fourth
dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions. That
means that what begins as a point in the fourth dimension is a sphere
with a 186,000 mile radius one second later. So it is that the entire
spherical wavefront of the photon exists in the exact same place in
time. Hence the non-locality observed in double slit experiments, the
EPR effect, and quantum entanglement. Take two interacting spin ˝
photons and let them propagate at the speed of c in opposite
directions. They are yet at the exact same place in time! And too,
they are yet in the exact same place of the fourth expanding
dimension.

Why does time stop at the speed of light?
Time depends on the emission and propagation of photons. If no photons
are emitted, time does not occur. This holds true whether the clock is
an unwinding copper spring, a biological system such as a heart, or an
oscillating quartz crystal. No photom emission=no time! As an object
approaches the speed of light, its ability to emit photons without
reabsorbing them diminishes. An object traveling at the speed of light
cannot emit a photon.

How come a photon does not age?
A photon represents momenergy rotated entirely into the fourth
expanding dimension. A photon stays the exact same place in the fourth
dimension, no matter how far it travels. A photon stays the exact same
place in time, no matter how far it travels. Again, time is not the
fourth dimension, but in inherits properties of the fourth dimension.

Why are inertial mass and gravitational mass the same thing?

Why do moving bodies exhibit length contraction?
Movement is always accompanied by a shortening in length. This is
because the only way for a body to move is for it to undergo a
rotation into the forth dimension, which is expanding relative to the
three spatial dimensions. The more energy an electron has, the more
photons it possesses, and the higher probability it exists in the
expanding fourth dimension. Hence its length appears contracted as
perceived from the three spatial dimensions.

Why are mass and energy equivalent?
The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial
dimensions. That means that a baseball sitting on a lab table
stationary in our three-dimensional inertial reference frame, is yet
moving at a fantastic velocity relative to the fourth dimension. Hence
every seemingly stationary mass has a vast energy, as given by E=mc2.
In a nuclear reaction matter is rotated into the expanding fourth
dimension, appearing as high-enegry photons (gamma rays) propagating
at the same velocity of the fourth expanding dimension-c.

Why does time's arrow point in the direction it points in? The fourth
dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions. Hence
every photon naturally expands in a spherically symmetric manner.
Hence every electron, or piece of matter that interacts with photons,
is naturally carried outward from a central point in a spherically
symmetric manner. Hence the particles in a drop of dye in a swimming
pool dissipate in a spherically symmetric manner, and are never
reunited. Hence time's arrow and entropy.

Why do photons appear as spherically-symmetric wavefronts traveling at
a velocity c? The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three
spatial dimensions at the velocity c. Hence photons, which are tiny
packets of momenergy rotated entirely into the fourth dimension,
appear as spherically-symmetric wavefronts propagating at the velocity
c.

Why is there a minus sign in the following metric?
x^2+y^2+z^2-c^2t^2=s^2
The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial
dimensions at the velocity c. Hence the only way to stay still in the
space-time continuum, and to achieve a 0 interval, is to move with the
velocity of light.

What deeper reality underlies Einstein's postulates of relativity?
The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial
dimensions at the velocity c. This single postulate assures that the
speed of light is constant for all observers and that the laws of
physics are the same in all inertial frames.

What deeper reality underlies Newton's laws?
Newton's laws are an approximation of relativity and quantum
mechanics, and as MDT underlies QM & relativity, it underlies Newton's
laws.

Why is an increase in velocity always accompanied by a decrease in
length as measured by an external observer? All increases in velocity
are accompanied by rotations into the fourth dimension. All particles
can be represented by momenergy 4-vectors. The greater the momenrgy
component in the expanding fourth dimension, the greater the velocity
and speed of the particle. Rest mass is the invariant here. It never
changes. It prefers the three spatial dimensions. In order for it to
move, one must gain energy in the form of photons. These photons
prefer the fourth expanding dimension. The more photons one adds, the
greater the component of the momenergy 4-vector that appears in the
fourth expanding dimension, the more energy the particle has, the
shorter it appears, and the faster it moves.

How MDT Is Aiding Fellow Physicists

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

Moving Dimensions Theory provides this new concept of space-time. The
vast ambitions of most tenure-track physicists, including string
theorists and LQG hypers, causes them to focus on irrelevant, minute
questions, and thus, though funded by millions for over thirty years,
have not yet been able to string the bow. Deeper, true physicists,
such as Abner Shimony and John Clauser are alert to the fact that
physics need news ideas.
The expanding fourth dimension gives rise to non-local phenomena and
quantum entanglement, as the expanding fourth dimension means that two
events separated in the three spatial dimensions can yet appear to be
at the exact same place in the fourth dimension. MDT thus provides the
new concept of space-time.

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

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

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

Default The Beauty and Simplicity of Moving Dimensions Theory

O.K. I'm really going to try to understand what you are talking about. I've got to admit to being somewhat skeptical and will do my best to set that aside for a while. But I need you to help with answering some questions. The first thing that jumps out at me is that it seems as though MDT returns us to a Galileo universe. If the 4th dimension is expanding away from our 3-D space, it is not clear how that works in such a way that the speed of light remains the same for all observers (observers moving at different velocities). Could you sketch some sort of spacetime diagram that would illustrate what you're doing?

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, 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 student. . . Originality, powerful motivation, and a can-do spirit make me think that McGucken is a top bet for graduate school in physics. . . I say this on the basis of close contacts with him over the past year and a half. . . I gave him as an independent task to figure out the time factor in the standard Schwarzchild expression around a spherically- symmetric center of attraction. I gave him the proofs of my new general-audience, calculus-free book on general relativity, A Journey Into Gravity and Space Time. There the space part of the Schwarzchild geometric is worked out by purely geometric methods. “Can you, by poor-man’s reasoning, derive what I never have, the time part?” He could and did, and wrote it all up in a beautifully clear account. . . .his second junior paper . . .entitled Within a Context, was done with another advisor, and dealt with an entirely different part of physics, the Einstein-Rosen-Podolsky experiment and delayed choice experiments in general. . . this paper was so outstanding. . . I am absolutely delighted that this semester McGucken is doing a project with the cyclotron group on time reversal asymmetry. Electronics, machine-shop work and making equipment function are things in which he now revels. But he revels in Shakespeare, too. Acting the part of Prospero in the Tempest. . . ” --John Archibald Wheeler, Princeton University, Recommendation for Elliot McGucken for Admission to Graduate School of Physics

Dr. Elliot McGucken’s Biography: Dr. E” received a B.A. in physics from Princeton University and a Ph.D. in physics from UNC Chapel Hill, where his research on an artificial retina, which is now helping the blind see, appeared in Business Week and Popular Science and was awarded a Merrill Lynch Innovations Grant. While at Princeton, McGucken worked on projects concerning quantum mechanics and general relativity with the late John A. Wheeler, and the projects combined to form an appendix treating time as an emergent phenomenon in his dissertation. McGucken is writing a book for the Artistic Entrepreneurship & Technology (artsentrepreneurship.com) curriculum he created.

I basically agree with Bob's figure! Though it can be tough to visualize, and I approach this with humility.
MDT has so many things going for it, and I added a couple new sections at the very end of the latest version of the paper, along with plenty of drawings and diagrams.

Moving Dimensions Theory’s Fundamental Clues: Questions That Are Answered with "Because the Fourth Dimension is Expanding Relative to the Three Spatial Dimensions: dx4/dt=ic"

Einstein stated that curiosity is more important than knowledge, but all too often modern physicists forget to ask fundamental questions. Below is a list of question that neither LQG nor string theory, nor any other “professional” research programs, ask. Indeed, as subprime bureaucracies have grown and politics has replaced physics, asking questions has been deemed impolite. But we press on, regardless!

Imagine a simple theory that both asked and answered the following questions:

MDT’s Fundamental Clues

Einstein stated that curiosity is more important than knowledge, but all too often modern physicists forget to ask fundamental questions. Below is a list of question that neither LQG nor string theory, nor any other “professional” research programs, ask. Indeed, as subprime bureaucracies have grown and politics has replaced physics, asking questions has been deemed impolite. But we press on, regardless!

Imagine a simple theory that both asked the following questions, and answered each and every one with: "Because the Fourth Dimension is Expanding Relative to the Three Spatial Dimensions: dx4/dt=ic"

1. Why is light’s velocity a constant c?
2. Why is light’s velocity c independent of its source?
3. Why is it that nothing can travel faster than c?
4. Why does a photon, which travels at c, not age?
5. Why does a photon’s spherically symmetric path define simultaneity—a locality in the fourth dimension?
5. Why are energy and mass equivalent? Why E=mc^2?
6. Why do all of time’s arrows point in the same direction—towards dissipation, decoherence, and entropy?
7. Why do so many physicists say time is the fourth dimension, when Einstein never said x4 is time, but instead said x4 = ict?
8. Why can matter can appear as energy or mass?
9. Why is it that when matter appears as pure energy, it propagates at c through space?
10. Why does all matter have particle—local—and wave—nonlocal—properties?
11. Why does all energy have particle—local—and wave—nonlocal—properties?
12. Why is it that when matter appears as stationary mass, it propagates at c through the fourth dimension?
13. Why is it that when matter appears as energy, it propagates at c through the fourth dimension?
14. Why is it that to move at c through space is to stand still in the fourth dimension?
15. Why is it that to move at c through the fourth dimension is to stand still in space?
16. Why is it that all objects move at but one speed through space-time—c?
17. Why is the universe is expanding?
18. Why does radiation expand outwards, but not inwards?
19. Why do we see retarded waves, but not advanced?
19. Why is it that Entropy imitates the general motion of all radiation and the universe’s expansion—a spherically-symmetric expanding wave?
20. Why is it that Huygens’ Principle, which underlies all reality ranging from QED to Feynman’s many-paths, to classical physics, states that every point of a spherically-expanding wavefront is in turn a spherically-expanding wavefront?
21. Why are all photons described by a spherically-expanding wavefront propagating at c?
22. Why is it that two initially-interacting photons remain entangled, no matter how far they travel apart?
23. Why is it that two initially-interacting photons remain the exact same age as when they began, no matter how far they travel?
24. Why is it that Young’s double-slit experiments show that mass and energy have nonlocal wave properties?
25. Why is it that the collapse of the wave function is immediate in the photoelectric effect?
26. Why is there no way for an object to gain velocity without being reduced in length via relativistic length contraction?
27. Why does a photon trace out a null vector through space-time?
28. Why does time’s arrow points in a definitive direction?
29. Why does entropy increase?
30. Why do Moving clocks run slow?
31. Why is time travel into the past impossible?
32. Why does free will exist?
33. Why is it that time is not frozen—how come the block universe does not exist?
34. Why does a photon’s probabilistic wavefront travels at c?
45. Why is the velocity of quantum entanglement c? Why is it that only initially interacting particles can yet be entangled? Why is it that they must first share a locality, in order to share a nonlocality?
36. Why is it that in Schroedinger’s equation, the first derivative with respect to the fourth dimension is proportional two the second derivative with the respect to the three spatial dimensions? Any change in position in the fourth expanding dimension is an acceleration in the three spatial dimensions.
37. Why is it that a photon emitted from the sun is redshifted as it travels away? Its wavelength appears longer as it is measured against space that is less-stretched. A photon inherits the local geometry of the spacetime where it was emitted.
38. Why do clocks in gravitational fields run slow?
39. Why are photons redshifted as they move away from massive objects, and blueshifted as they move towards them?
40. Why the conservation laws? Why does an object maintain its rotation in space time?
41. Why is the velocity of every object through space-time c?
42. Why is it that the only way to stay stationary in the fourth dimension is to move at c through the three spatial dimensions?
43. Why is it that the only way to remain stationary in the three spatial dimensions is to move at c relative to the fourth dimension?
44. Why does a photon have zero rest mass, and how does zero rest mass imply the velocity of light? None of the object’s matter exists in the three spatial dimensions, but only in the fourth expanding dimension.

Firstoff, imagine a universe where one was allowed to ask such questions; instead of having to engage in groupthink mathematics and snarky politics for tenure; while bringing the advancement of theoretical physics to a halt for the last thirty years or so. And then imagine if there was one simple principle underlying and unifying all these questions and clues with a fundamental physical model. That would be MDT: The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.
dx4/dt = ic

The fourth dimension expands at the rate of c.
The fourth dimension has local and nonlocal properties.
Entropy results as the local becomes nonlocal—as a point of the fourth expanding dimension expands in a spherically-symmetric manner, dragging all of entirety along with it.
Quantum Mechanics’ nonlocality and entropy are inextricably linked, as the fourth dimension expands at c, and carries photons and particles apart.
Photons surf the fourth expanding dimension.
Energy is but matter trapped on the fourth expanding dimension. Hence E=mc^2.
All matter has vast potential for energy, if only it is rotated into the fourth expanding dimension.
General Relativity freezes the fourth dimension, whereas quantum mechanics is built upon its flux—hence the differential operators.
Entropy and Huygens’ principle rest upon the fourth expanding dimension, as do all photons which surf its expanding wavefront.
Nonlocality arises because the fourth dimension is nonlocal as it expands.
Simultaneity is relative because our measurement of time is relative to our propagation with respect to the fourth expanding dimension.
Time, as measured in our watches and perceived in the stored order of our memories, is not the fourth dimension, but a phenomenon that emerges because a fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.
The block universe does not exist, as the past is but a memory of a state that is long since gone.
Wave interference arises because of probability interference, and probability is defined by the expansion of the fourth dimension, which distributes the locality of a dimensions upon an spherically-symmetric wavefront, where all points yet are one point in that dimension; until the wave is measured, and the particle is localized in the three spatial dimensions.
All motion requires that an object have a component in the source of all motion—the fourth expanding dimension. Hence all moving objects are foreshortened.

Default The Beauty and Simplicity of Moving Dimensions Theory

D4 is expanding relative to D1-3 in a spherically symmetric manner.
The expansion is in units of the Planck length L, at speed c.
Every 3D point is always expanding into a 4D sphere with radius L.

A photon is energy caught on the surface of this quantized expansion.
The expansion of D4 occurs at speed c, so photons have speed c.
A photon is quantized momenergy orthogonal to D1-3, rotated into D4.
A photon stays frozen at one point in D4 from emission to absorption.

Expansion of D4 gives rise to nonlocality and quantum entanglement.
Two events separated in D1-3 can be simultaneous in D4.

Time emerges from D4 expanding at speed c relative to D1-3.
Time is not D4 but it inherits properties of D4.
The flow of time is tied to the emission and propagation of photons.
In clocks, the emission and propagation of photons measure time.

A photon propagates as a spherical wavefront, surfing D4.
D4 appears as a spherical wavefront as it expands through D1-3.
Measurement localizes the photon's momenergy.
This takes it out of D4 and traps it in D1-3 as a localized particle.
The entire spherical wavefront of the photon is a simultaneity surface.

An electron continually emits and reabsorbs photons.
Its dance with photons causes its wave properties.
Photons increase the probability that its momenergy will be in D4.

Whenever a body moves it rotates into D4.
So its length appears contracted in D1-3.

And here is where I believe Dr. E. "has it right." I, too, believe photons convey matter. The whole position / momentum trade-off might become clear if one views matter as "curled up" energy. We often relate measures of curvature to energies.

In a simple (2D) analogy, consider a spinning (amateur) ice skater who "loses his lunch" (so to speak). His state prior to the onset of dizziness is one of position. The skater then loses rotational energy by emitting his "lunch" along a straight line away from his spinning center. His rotational energy is decreased and traded for linear kinetic energy (momentum). So, we can see emission of a photon as the transfer of stationary energy ("rest mass," "generalized angular momentum," state information).

There are still many questions of how and why a photon might be emitted. This is the frontier of quantum gravity, a realm in which we delve into cosmology, information theory, spacetime metrics, etc. There is much actual work to do beyond promoting MDT (an interpretation of a relation existing for many years).

Dr. E's brash claims need much rigorous work to appeal to solid reasoning. However, there are some points of truth in there. It seems most physicists don't care until their work is corroborated or proven wrong or something unique is predicted and verified. So Dr. E's many "interpretations" must first yield some fruit before being appreciated. I encourage others to critique and contribute rather simply laud or lambast.

You're right in that Dr. McGucken needs to make this theory a LOT more rigorous before he goes off claiming he's struck gold. For example, I've read quite a few posts on this forum and was able to find a grand total of 0 new equations, relations, or formulae. The very little math that there is is all rehashed from over a century ago, and the rest is purely conceptual.

Physics is simply not done that way. We can't make meaningful, testable predictions if every claim is a hand-waving, unspecific paragraph. For example, what does it mean for a photon to "surf" the fourth dimension? Is this anything new (i.e., that isn't already explained in my friendly neighborhood GR textbook)? If so, we need to see how it's new.

A lot of the other claims don't even touch (or barely do) on the theory's "postulate". What does this mean?

"The block universe does not exist, as the past is but a memory of a state that is long since gone."

How does that derive from dx^4 = icdt? How is that even physics? It's an untestable claim extrapolating human intuition to realms where they might not be applicable (as they're not in a lot of modern physics).

Another example is his "explanation" of gravitational radiation - that doesn't seem to derive from his postulates, and it's basically the same explanation that general relativity gave us a while ago.

And speaking of the gravitational redshift bit, it's disconcerting that this phenomenon, a relatively minor consequence of general relativity, is the only explanation Dr. McG has listed under "general relativity." Is that because general relativity is actually hard, and requires math and more than that one equation to explain? It's hard to say you have a unified theory underlying GR and QM, but then not actually explain how these theories emerge from it.

So that's that - not an attack, just a challenge. I look forward to seeing Dr. McG take it up.
