The four-dimensions of space-time are divided into three spatial dimensions and one time dimension. In the space-time metric, s^2=x^2+y^2+z^2-c^2t^2, the minus sign and c^2 distinguishes t from the three spatial dimensions. Why the minus sign exists is most often glossed over--it is considered to just "be" there. This paper explains the minus sign by proposing that the time dimension, the actual coordinate system, is moving relative to the three spatial dimensions.
The time dimension is expanding at a rate of c relative to the three spatial dimensions, in a spherically symmetric manner. Many trained physicists have a knee-jerk reaction that the time dimension cannot be moving because "dimensions cannot move." First off, since the universe is expanding, space-time is also expanding, showing that dimensions are moving and expanding. Secondly, general relativity demonstrates that massive objects warp space-time, meaning that as a massive object moves though space-time, it stretches space-time, showing again that space-time in one area can move, or deform, relative to space-time in another area.
Rather than just accepting the minus sign in front of the c^2t^2 as being there because it just is there, this paper aims to look at the deeper reality which gives rise to the minus sign. A physicist's job is not to accept things on blind faith, nor only ask questions that are allowed to be asked, but a physicist's job is to wonder. And that wonder, which seems all but forgotten in the bureaucratization of modern physics, leads to a deeper beauty.
That the time dimension is different somehow from the three spatial dimensions is obvious. This difference is a result of the time dimension moving relative to the spatial dimensions. Picture four dimensions--three spatial dimensions and one time dimension. An object can be rotated so that its projection along any particular axis decreases. When an object is rotated into time, its projection along the x, y, and z directions decreases. This is known as relativistic length contraction. Relativistic length contraction is *always* accompanied by time dilation and an increase in the object's velocity. It is not possible to conduct a Lorentz transformation on a ruler, where it is rotated into the time dimension, without the ruler gaining a velocity through the three spatial dimensions. Because rotating an object into the time dimension always results in the object gaining a velocity relative to the spatial dimensions, one can conclude that the time dimension must be moving.
Einstein's two postulates of relativity state: I. The laws of physical phenomena are the same in all inertial frames. II. The velocity of light in free space is a universal constant, independent of any relative motion of the source and the observer. I propose that the two postulates may be expressed in an alternative manner, by stating the following law of moving dimensions: I. The time dimension is moving relative to the three spatial dimensions.
This can be shown illustrated in several ways: Consider an expression for the space-time interval of zero length, or of the null vector, which traces a photon's path through space-time: x^2+y^2+z^2-c^2t^2=0 or x^2+y^2+z^2=c^2t^2 which for one spatial dimension becomes x^2=c^2t^2 or x=ct. By taking the derivative of both sides with respect to t, we get dx/dt = d/dt (ct) = c, so dx/dt = c. And hence the time rate of change of the spatial dimension relative to the time rate of change of the time dimension is equal to the velocity of light. ct | / | / | / | / | / |/_______________ x
Also, if we trace the path of a photon on a space-time diagram, the only way for a photon to remain stationary in space-time is to move at the speed of light, or to keep up with the expanding time dimension. The null vector, which rep
Oops! I guess you're right. I thought the Imperial March was a composite piece which contained Darth Vader's theme but also had some other music. My bad!
Well, in my book Darth Vader's theme trumps the Imperial March. However, neither would become my ringtone (were I to break down and get a cell). I have reserved Darth Vader's theme for a specific purpose. Whenever I get a song looping in my mind, I'll either hum, or listen, to Darth Vader's theme to dislodge it.
I would choose something like the the Thunderbirds theme, or the Babylon 5 door chime, or I would rip Hal saying "Incoming communications... Dave".
It's all a clever ploy to sell lanyard cables. Of course, you'll also need the fancy leather case that has the holes for the turbine and the lanyard cable. Naturally you'll want to color coordinate your lanyard cable with your belt/shoes or purse/nail polish.
The only shows they watch on "Friends" is "Days of Our Lives" and "Baywatch", and the only reason they watch DOOL is because Joey portrays Dr Drake Ramore. They never seem to watch Battlestar Galactica.
The freedom to sell does not mean that you can use communication channels which I pay for to initiate communication with me. That includes email addresses and phone numbers which may be published.
Regardless of what you were told by the guy on the phone, or what you thought the TV ads meant, it is your legal responsibility to abide by the rental contract, the terms of which are available at any Blockbuster.
It all depends on their policies beforehand. If, under the old system, they charged you the retail price of the video after seven days (plus the restocking fee if you returned the video for a refund) AND charged you a late fee, and now they don't, then their ads are perfectly legit.
Theatrical releases and DVD/VCR releases are frequently different. This has nothing to do with Blockbuster. It's more of a marketing thing by the producers.
The X axis is infinite. So are the Y and Z axes. Therefore, there must be an infinite number of regular solids. Oh, wait! There's only five. Gee, I guess the mere fact that numbers are infinite doesn't imply that subsets of those numbers are infinite.

You cannot contest a law, without being charged with it, either.
Where is that written?

A large portion of *YOUR* country maybe. There are several developing equatorial nations that could make significant use of this technology.
Stuffing a buffer past its end is poor coding no matter how you slice it.
Government spy agencies, Advertisers, Underworld crime bosses, political activists, unscrupulous businesses, and maybe, just maybe, terrorists.
The real kicker of the thing is that all American weights and measures are metric already. Most of them don't know it though.

Now us guys get to drool over Starbuck the way the ladies did back in the 80's.

Won't work. All the perps have to do is add another dns server entry to their machines, or include the ip address in their hosts file.
Yes, a lot of things are backwards down under.

New releases were only 2 day rentals last time I rented (back in August).

No, but I know when I've been beaten.
That's not the perfect number (2^64-1)*(2^64). That is merely 2^64-1.
The X axis is infinite. So are the Y and Z axes. Therefore, there must be an infinite number of regular solids. Oh, wait! There's only five. Gee, I guess the mere fact that numbers are infinite doesn't imply that subsets of those numbers are infinite.
Point conceded.
That will only work until the rootkit installs patches that match the checksum.
So, that's it then. We're doomed!
