I'm sure Dr. Elliot is extremely content with any and all feedback.
Either is theory is true or it isn't.
The validity of a physics theory does not dependend on modding up or down.
It's depends on reality.
Speaking of which, it would be fun to explore why or why not Dr. E's theory mathces up with reality.
A lot of "experts" are poo-pooing the theory, without offering logic or reason in their refutations.
Dr. E welcome refuations, but he prefers them with logic and reason, as then he can learn from them, and alter or improve his theory if he has made any oversights.
But nobody has really addressed his theory that the time dimension is moving relative to the spatial dimensions.
If the detractors could please provide a little bit more "physics" in their refutations, Dr. E would very much appreciate it!
Thanks!!!
Dr. Elliot's theory of moving dimenstions stands unrefuted.
He's working on the final paper, and feedback utilizing logic and reason would be very useful.
The only way to stay still in the three spatial dimensions is to move at the velocity of light c through time. The only way to stay still in the time dimension is to move at the velocity of light c through space. How else can this be explained, but with space and time coordinates moving relative to one-another, with the time dimsion expanding as a spherically symmetric wavefront?
It would be great if the detractors could use logic and reason in refuting Dr. E's theory, rather than just refuting it by dismissing it.
What doesn't make sense in his theory?
If you think he's going wrong, where is he going wrong?
The time dimension is moving relative to the spatial dimensions.

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 dimension is moving relative to the spatial dimension at a rate of c.
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 represents a vector of zero length in space-time, can only imply zero movement through space-time. Even though a photon moves through space at a velocity equal to C, it stays stationary in space-time. Is it not strange at first that in order to remain stationary in space time, a photon appears move at the speed of light through space? This is only because the time dimension itself is moving relative to space.
Einstein proclaimed that all objects travel through space-time at c. Even though we perceive a ruler along the x axis to be stationary, it is yet traveling through space-time at the fixed speed of c, implying that time is moving through it. Rotate it towards the y axis, and its projection upon the x axis shortens, yet it still appears to be stationary, and it is still traveling through space-time at the rate of c. Rotate it into the time dimension, and it's projection along the x axis still shortens (Lorentz contraction), but now it begins to move through the three spatial dimensions, while maintaining the fixed speed of c through space-time. Again, we see it move through the three spatial dimensions as it is rotated into the time dimension because the time dimension is moving relative to the three spatial dimensions.
As an object moves through space, it is rotated into the time dimension, and less wave fronts of time are allowed to pass through it relative to a stationary object, which bears the full brunt of wave fronts. Thus a moving clock will run slower, as all clocks are based on the probabilistic emission and propagation of photons, and as a moving clock catches up with the expanding wavefront of time, the chance that a photon will be emitted without being reabsorbed is diminished.
Thus it is shown that the spatial and temporal dimensions are moving relative to one-another. The laws and equations of relativity and quantum mechanics rest upon this fundamental nature of physical reality.
Relativistic and quantum mechanical phenomena can be accounted for by the underlying nature of the relatively moving dimensions. Time dialation, relativistic length contraction, and the equivalence of mass and energy can all be seen to derive from this concept of moving dimensions. The statistical wave nature of matter and energy also rests upon the relative motion of the underlying dimensions.
As one rotates into the time dimension, one becomes more orthogonal to the spatial dimensions, and thus one's l
What about it doesn't make sense to you? It's a new way of thinking. It makes sense to me:
Dr. Elliot says:
The only way to stay still in the three spatial dimensions is to move at
the velocity of light c through time. The only way to stay still in the
time dimension is to move at the velocity of light c through space. How
else can this be explained, but with space and time coordinates are in
motion relative to one-another?
I propose that the time dimension is moving relative to the three spatial
dimensions. Such a concept may be used to explain physical phenomena found
in relativity and quantum mechanics. The constant speed of light, time
dilation, Lorentzian contraction, wave-particle duality, the equivalence of
mass and energy, the gravitational red-shift, and the second law of
thermodynamics may all be explained on a deeper level by a theory of moving
dimensions. Such a theory may also offer a path for the unification of
Quantum Mechanics and Relativity.

The four dimensions of space-time are divided into three spatial dimensions
and one time dimension. In the space-time metric, where ds is an invariant
expressed as ds^2=x^2+y^2+z^2-c^2t^2, the minus sign and c^2 distinguishes
the t coordinate from the three spatial coordinates. Why the minus sign
exists is most often glossed over.it is considered to just "be" there,
because it is there.
This paper explains the -c^2 in front of the t coordinate 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, demonstrating 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. Thus there exist neither philosophical nor
physical barriers to the concept of moving dimensions, but for artificial
ones within lazy minds.
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 the

Surf's up and the LAMP developer community is ready to rock out--they just need a surfboard to surf Moore's Law, Metcalfe's Law, and Constitutional Law on home. As soon as somebody manufactures handhelds and media-servers that can readily run common Linux and LAMP (Linux/Apache/MYSQL/PHP) applications like postnuke and phpnuke, the floodgates of innovation will open. The technology is there. Move over iPodTM, TiVoTM, iPaqTM, and MicrosoftTM. Open-source CMS and DRM will power tomorrow's content marketplaces, handhelds, computers, and media-servers, as artist-hackers create the open-source hardware, software, and standards for all-in-one media devices, record labels, media marketplaces, and modeling agencies. In fact, if your company is building a 22surfboard or some other open-source-based device, send it along and perhaps we can hack a free marketing campaign for it. Any company who's building open-source devices is doing us all a big favor, so we'd be glad to help out!
The technology for ventures centered upon open-source CMS & DRM is all there as outlined at authena.org--RDF/RSS for rights definitions; http and REST web services for content transfer, rights negotiation, and syndication; SSL, PGP, Media-S, and OPENIPMP for encryption and security; bit torrent for accelerated downloads, and LAMP applications such as postnuke, phpnuke, xoops, oscommerce, and netjuke for media browsing, buying, serving, and viewing. Surf's up, but there's nothing to surf it with.
A 22surfboard will be an all-in-one handheld device that holds books, movies, and more. It will readily run standard Linux distros, including RedHat, Suse, and Gentoo. Designed with the Linux-Apache-MYSQL-PHP (LAMP) developer community in mind, it will inherit the vast power of the sourceforge LAMP community who are hungry for a true Linux handheld/media-device to hack.
At 22surfer we think it'd rock for hardware and software businesses, lawyers, MBAs, to think like artist-hackers. We need designers to design the 22surfboard. We need lawyers to pen the open-source patents and claims. We need MBAs to come up with cool marketing campaigns. And the hacker-community will make it the most powerful device on the market. Become a 22surfer! There's room for artist-hackers, lawyers, MBAs, programming gods, UI designers, drummers, and more! Heck, we could even use some architects to design the 22surfshacks.
The 22surfboard vs. The Prior Art: The Problems with Proprietary CMS & DRM Illustrated: The iPod(TM) & TiVo(TM) & HP & Zaurus & How to Do It Better--Manufacture Handhelds for the LAMP Developer Community.
To date there exists no personal media player nor home media server that runs on truly open standards. As soon as an open device comes to market, its adoption by the hacker community will be rapid, giving it vast power and functionality. As Moore's law marches on, personal and home media players, computers and cell phones, are destined tobecome one and the same. A hardware company manufacturing an open-source device such as the 22surfboard stands to beat Microsoft and Apple in both price and functionality. The off-the-shelf components will be inexpensive, and the vast power of the Sourceforge hackers will give the device unparalleled functionality, without costing the device manufacturer.
The prior-art shows countless examples of devices which were never truly open and thus ultimately failed to gain the essential widespead use throughout the hacker community. All too often we have seen companies brand themselves "open source" for some hype on slashdot, only to require NDAs and travel on down the proprietary route. Very few, if any, of these companies have succeeded.

The business model of centralized conglomerates marketing the digital rights of a handful of artists is outdated. Both consumers and creators have become disenchanted. A new model, consisting of a distributed network of thousands of creators hosting their content on Open Source CMS and syndicating it to trusted archives and marketplaces, is emerging. In order to build a trusted network of marketplaces supporting common standards for syndicated commerce, the business plan should be shared openly. The transparency provided by Open Source will foster the adoption of open standards for DRM and syndicated commerce. 22surf encourages artist-hackers to download our business plan for building profitable archives and marketplaces with Open Source CMS, change and build on it, and join in the following revenue streams: 1) sell keyword advertising throughout free OSCMS hosting services (blogs, galleries, etc.), 2) sell advanced hosting options/extra disk space, 2) charge 5% on content marketplace transactions, 3) charge 5% on Open Source Arts services marketplace transactions, 4) manage/host media assets of large businesses (record labels/movie studios/etc.), 5) keyword advertising throughout the free hosting services, 6) a friendster/FOAF (friend-of-a-friend) network, 7) a mobile FOAF service which alerts people when friends are in close proximity. All of these revenue streams may be realized with a small team leveraging Open Source CMS such as vvgallery, oscommerce, cafelog, postnuke, and gallery. With common standards for syndication based on RSS/RDF, bands, writers, photographers, and friends will be able to enjoy syndication across multiple archives and marketplaces. Working together, trusted marketplaces utilizing open standards for syndication will prosper. Surf's up!

Surf's up and the LAMP developer community is ready to rock out--they just need a surfboard to surf Moore's Law, Metcalfe's Law, and Constitutional Law on home. As soon as somebody manufactures handhelds and media-servers that can readily run common Linux and LAMP (Linux/Apache/MYSQL/PHP) applications like postnuke and phpnuke, the floodgates of innovation will open. The technology is there. Move over iPodTM, TiVoTM, iPaqTM, and MicrosoftTM. Open-source CMS and DRM will power tomorrow's content marketplaces, handhelds, computers, and media-servers, as artist-hackers create the open-source hardware, software, and standards for all-in-one media devices, record labels, media marketplaces, and modeling agencies. In fact, if your company is building a 22surfboard or some other open-source-based device, send it along and perhaps we can hack a free marketing campaign for it. Any company who's building open-source devices is doing us all a big favor, so we'd be glad to help out!
The technology for ventures centered upon open-source CMS & DRM is all there as outlined at authena.org--RDF/RSS for rights definitions; http and REST web services for content transfer, rights negotiation, and syndication; SSL, PGP, Media-S, and OPENIPMP for encryption and security; bit torrent for accelerated downloads, and LAMP applications such as postnuke, phpnuke, xoops, oscommerce, and netjuke for media browsing, buying, serving, and viewing. Surf's up, but there's nothing to surf it with.
A 22surfboard will be an all-in-one handheld device that holds books, movies, and more. It will readily run standard Linux distros, including RedHat, Suse, and Gentoo. Designed with the Linux-Apache-MYSQL-PHP (LAMP) developer community in mind, it will inherit the vast power of the sourceforge LAMP community who are hungry for a true Linux handheld/media-device to hack.
At 22surfer we think it'd rock for hardware and software businesses, lawyers, MBAs, to think like artist-hackers. We need designers to design the 22surfboard. We need lawyers to pen the open-source patents and claims. We need MBAs to come up with cool marketing campaigns. And the hacker-community will make it the most powerful device on the market. Become a 22surfer! There's room for artist-hackers, lawyers, MBAs, programming gods, UI designers, drummers, and more! Heck, we could even use some architects to design the 22surfshacks.
The 22surfboard vs. The Prior Art: The Problems with Proprietary CMS & DRM Illustrated: The iPod(TM) & TiVo(TM) & HP & Zaurus & How to Do It Better--Manufacture Handhelds for the LAMP Developer Community.
To date there exists no personal media player nor home media server that runs on truly open standards. As soon as an open device comes to market, its adoption by the hacker community will be rapid, giving it vast power and functionality. As Moore's law marches on, personal and home media players, computers and cell phones, are destined tobecome one and the same. A hardware company manufacturing an open-source device such as the 22surfboard stands to beat Microsoft and Apple in both price and functionality. The off-the-shelf components will be inexpensive, and the vast power of the Sourceforge hackers will give the device unparalleled functionality, without costing the device manufacturer.
The prior-art shows countless examples of devices which were never truly open and thus ultimately failed to gain the essential widespead use throughout the hacker community. All too often we have seen companies brand themselves "open source" for some hype on slashdot, only to require NDAs and travel on down the proprietary route. Very few, if any, of these companies have succeeded.
HP & ZAURUS(TM): "Last month, I touched a little bit on HP's screwed up Linux PDA initiative, but perhaps I was a bit too harsh. Sure, they have a research arm that's completely underutilized and they have absolutely no clue as how to turn those efforts
The business plan may be downloaded from 22surf.com.
The business model of centralized conglomerates marketing the digital rights of a handful of artists is outdated. Both consumers and creators have become disenchanted. A new model, consisting of a distributed network of thousands of creators hosting their content on Open Source CMS and syndicating it to trusted archives and marketplaces, is emerging. In order to build a trusted network of marketplaces supporting common standards for syndicated commerce, the business plan should be shared openly. The transparency provided by Open Source will foster the adoption of open standards for DRM and syndicated commerce. 22surf encourages artist-hackers to download our business plan for building profitable archives and marketplaces with Open Source CMS, change and build on it, and join in the following revenue streams: 1) sell keyword advertising throughout free OSCMS hosting services (blogs, galleries, etc.), 2) sell advanced hosting options/extra disk space, 2) charge 5% on content marketplace transactions, 3) charge 5% on Open Source Arts services marketplace transactions, 4) manage/host media assets of large businesses (record labels/movie studios/etc.), 5) keyword advertising throughout the free hosting services, 6) a friendster/FOAF (friend-of-a-friend) network, 7) a mobile FOAF service which alerts people when friends are in close proximity. All of these revenue streams may be realized with a small team leveraging Open Source CMS such as vvgallery, oscommerce, cafelog, postnuke, and gallery. With common standards for syndication based on RSS/RDF, bands, writers, photographers, and friends will be able to enjoy syndication across multiple archives and marketplaces. Working together, trusted marketplaces utilizing open standards for syndication will prosper. Surf's up!
