The Curious Nature of the Photon, Einstein's Annus Mirabilis,
and Moving Dimensions Theory
As the contemplation of the photon lead to both quantum mechanics and relativity, let us also begin by contemplating the photon. Einstein's revolutionary 1905 papers included one devoted to the photoelectric effect--the quantized nature of the photon, and another devoted to the electrodynamics of moving bodies--electromagnetic radiation, relativity, and the wave properties of the photon. Another paper discussed statistical mechanics in the form of Brownian Motion, and the final paper commented on the equivalence of mass and energy, as denoted with his famous equation, E=mc2. Moving Dimensions Theory underlies and unifies all of Einstein's 1905 papers with its simple postulate--the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.
Picture the emission of a photon in free space. Once second later, the photon has equal probability of being found anywhere upon a sphere with a radius of 186,000 miles, as c, the velocity of light, equals 186,000 miles per second. If we covered the surface of the sphere with detectors, one, and only one, would click. And the photon, although traveling 186,000 miles through space, will not have aged one iota, for time stops at the speed of light. The photon will have traveled 186,000 miles through the three spatial dimensions, and yet it will not have moved one iota in the fourth dimension. And there lies our first clue to moving dimensions theory. For how can a photon propagate 186,000 in the three spatial dimensions, and yet not budge an inch in the fourth dimension, unless that fourth dimension is expanding? Ergo, the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.
Consider two interacting photons that propagate in opposite directions. 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 for all intents and purposes. This "spooky action at a distance," as Einstein called it, is not so spooky in the context of moving dimensions theory, for MDT states that although separated by 372,000 miles, the photons are yet in the exact same place in the fourth dimension, as the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions. So it is that quantum phenomena on the photonic level, as well as relativistic phenomena on the photonic level, are both accounted for with simple elegance via MDT: 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 it will spread out throughout the entire pool, and never again reassemble in a localized region. That everything tends towards random disorder is a fundamental law of physics, and too, it can be accounted for by moving dimensions theory. 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 at great distances from one another one second later--distances far greater than the distance that separates them at their emission. This is because each one has an equal probability of being found anywhere upon the surface of a spherically-symmetric wave front of probability, corresponding to the wave front of the fourth expanding dimension. Recall our system of detectors placed everywhere through the surface of a sphere with a radius of 186,000 miles--each photon has an equal chance of being found at any detector after one second, and chances are that the detectors will be farther apart than the distance of 0 that defines the photon's common origin. Hence entropy

The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions. Moving Dimensions Theory accounts for the aetherless aether. This simple postulate offers a physical model underlying and unifiying:
RELATIVITY: 1) length contraction 2) time dilation 3) the equivalence of mass and energy 4) the constant velocity of light 5) 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 paradox

THE UNITY OF THE DUALITIES 1) wave/particle duality 2) time/space duality 3) energy/mass duality 4) E/B duality
The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions in a sphereically symmetric manner, in units of the Planck length, at the rate of c.
This means that every point in three dimnesional space is always expanding into a fourth dimensional sphere with a radius of the plank length. A photon is matter caught on the surface of this quantized expansion, and thus energy is quantized. The expansion of the fourth dimension occurs at the rate of c, and thus the velocity of all photons is c.
"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 truth stares modern physicists in the face, they must close their eyes so as to get a postdoc or raise more funds for 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.

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

Why does Peter spend so much time talking about Lubos et al, inestead of Moving Dimensions Theory?
MDT is the best-tested theory of all time.
MDT predicts that an object's velocity through spacetime is always c. This is because the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.
MDT's postulate: The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions, in units of the planck length, at the rate of c.
The above has been shown in experiment, after experiment, after experiment.
MDT predicts that the only way to stay stationary in the three spatial dimensions is to move with a velocity of c relative to the fourth expanding dimension. This is because the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.
The above has been shown in experiment, after experiment, after experiment.
MDT predicts that the only way to stay stationary in the fourth expanding dimension is to move with the velocity c relative to the three spatial dimensions. This is because the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial diemnsions.
The above has been shown in experiment, after experiment, after experiment.
MDT predicts the equivalence of mass and energy. Matter, when rotated into the fourth expanding dimension is foreshortened, and it appears as photons.
The above has been shown in experiment, after experiment, after experiment.
MDT predicts the constant speed of light. The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions at the rate of c. Hence the speed of matter rotated into the the fourth dimension is c. No matter how fast the source is moving, the second the photon leaves thes ource, it is carried by the fourth expanding dimension, so its speed is always c, independent of the source.
The above has been shown in experiment, after experiment, after experiment.
MDT predicts wave-particle duality. As matter expands in the fourth dimension in the form of a photon, it appears as a spherically-symmetric wavefront. Hence Young's double-slit experiment and interference. When the wave--the matter being carried along by the fourth expanding dimension--is perturbed, it is collapsed, and brought into the the three stationary spatial dimensions. Hence the quantum nature of all energy.
The above has been shown in experiment, after experiment, after experiment.
MDT predicts entropy--the fundamental motion of the universe is the spherically-symmetric wavefront defiend by the fourth dimenion expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions--hence entropy. Two particles at a similar origin have a probability to move apart.
The above has been shown in experiment, after experiment, after experiment.
Hence all radiation fundamentally appears as spheircally-symmetric wavefronts propagating in the three stationary spatial dimensions.
The above has been shown in experiment, after experiment, after experiment.
MDT predicts the null vector for photons, as well as the - (minus) sign in the space-time metric. As the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions, the only way to have zero interval is to move with the origin--at the speed of light.
The above has been shown in experiment, after experiment, after experiment.
MDT unfreezes time. Time, as we consider it, is not the fourth dimension, but it is an emrgent property of a fourth dimension expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions. This confusion of time with the actual fourth dimension has lead to Godel's paradox and the block-universe, which although they have provided Paul Davies with a lucrative living for his fantasies and science fiction, are not real. Barbour gets close to this.
The above has been shown in experiment, after experiment, after experiment.
General Relativity freezes time--it is a tiny loop at each given instant, but one second later, that loop has a radius of 186,000 miles.
The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial
dimensions. Moving Dimensions Theory accounts for the aetherless aether.

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.

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 becaus

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 becaus
While fanatsy and speculation and science fiction are funded with hundreds and millions, simple truth and beauty are glossed over.
But time is on the truth's side:
Moving Dimensions Theory: MDT The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions. http://physicsmathforums.com/
Moving Dimensions Theory accounts for the aetherless aether.
This simple postulate offers a physical model underlying and unifiying:
RELATIVITY:
1) length contraction 2) time dilation 3) the equivalence of mass and energy 4) the constant velocity of light 5) 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 paradox
THERMODYNAMICS 1) Time's arrow 2) Entropy
STRING THEORY'S MANY DIMENSIONS / KALUZA/KLEIN THEORY 1) a fourth expanding dimension can be interepreted as many dimensions, each time it expands
THE UNITY OF THE DUALITIES 1) wave/particle duality 2) time/space duality 3) energy/mass duality 4) E/B duality
The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions in a sphereically symmetric manner, in units of the Planck length, at the rate of c.
This means that every point in three dimnesional space is always expanding into a fourth dimensional sphere with a radius of the plank length. A photon is matter caught on the surface of this quantized expansion, and thus energy is quantized. The expansion of the fourth dimension occurs at the rate of c, and thus the velocity of all photons is c.
"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 truth stares modern physicists in the face, they must close their eyes so as to get a postdoc or raise more funds for 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 pos
ALL TIED UP & STRUNG ALONG, a movie about String Theorists and their expansive theories which extend human ignorance, pomposity, and frailty into higher dimensions, is set to start filming this fall. Jessica Alba, John Cleese, Eugene Levie, Jackie Chan, and David Duchovney of X-files fame have all signed on to the $700 million Hollywood project, which is still cheaper than String Theory itself, and will likely displace less physicists from the academy.
"As contemporary physics is about money, hype, mythology, and chicks," Ed Witten explained from his offices at the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, "The next logical step was Hollywood, although I thought Burt Reynolds should play me instead of Eugene Levy."
Brian Greene, the famous String Theorist who will be played by David "the truth is out there" Duchovney, explained the plot: "String theory's muddled, contorted theories that lack postulates, laws, and experimentally-verified equations have Einstein spinning so fast in his grave that it creates a black hole. In order to save the world, we String Theorists have to stop reformulating String Theory faster than the speed of light. We are called upon to stop violating the conservation of energy by mining higher dimensions to publish more BS than can accounted for with the Big Bang alone, and I win the Nobel prize for showing that M-Theory is in fact the dark matter it has been searching for."
Greene continues: "At first my character is reluctant to stop theorizing and start postulating, but when my love interest Jessica Alba is sucked into the black hole, I search my soul and find Paul Davies there, played by John Cleese. I ask him what he's doing in my soul, and he explains that the answer is contained in the mind of God, which only he is privy too, but for a small fee, some tax and tuition dollars, a couple grants here and there, and an all-expense-paid book tour with stops in Zurich and Honolulu, he can let me in on it. And he shows me God in all her greater glory, as he points out that we can make more money in Hollywood than writing coffee-table books that recycle Einstein, Bohr, Dirac, Feynman, and Wheeler. I am quickly converted, and I agree to turn my back on String Theory's hoax and save Jessica Alba."
But it's not that easy, as standing in Greene's way is Michio "king of pop-theory-hipster-irony-the-theory-of-everything- or-anything-made- you-read-this" Kaku, played by Jackie Chan. Kaku beats the crap out of Greene for alomst blowing the "ironic" pretense his salary, benefits, and all-expense paid trips depend on. "WE MUST HOLD BACK THE YOUNG SCIENTISTS WITH OUR NON-THEORIES!! WE MUST FILL THE ACADEMY WITH THE POMO DARK MATTER THAT IS STRING THEORY TO KEEP OUR UNIVERSE FROM FLYING APART, OUR PYRAMID SCHEMES FROM TOPPLING, AND OUR PERPETUAL-MOTION NSF MONEY MACHINE FROM STOPPING!!" Kaku argues as he delivers a flying back-kick, "There can be ony ONE! I WILL be String Theory's GODFATHER as referenced on my web page!! I have better hair!"
But Greene fights back as he signs his seventeenth book deal to make the hand-waving incoherence of String Theory accessible to the South Park generation, senior citizens, and starving chirldren around the world. "Kaku! Kaku! (pronounced Ka-Kaw! Ka-Kaw! like Owen Wilson did in Bottle Rocket)," Greene shouts. "It is theoretically impossible to build a coffee tables strong enough to support any more coffee-table physics books!!!"
"Time travel is also theoretically impossible, but there's a helluva lot more money for us in flushing physics down a wormhole. Nobody knows what the #&#%&$ M stands for in M theory ya hand-waving, TV-hogging crank!!! Get it?? Ha Ha Ha! We're laughing at the public! We're the insider pomo hipsters! Get with the gangsta-wanksta-pranksta CRANKSTER bling-bling program!!"
The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.
I never said that the time dimension is expanding.
Again, the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.
Time is an emergent property of this underlying reality.
In Moving Dimensions Theory, General Relativity concerns itself with frozen snapshots of the space-time continuum. The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions, and GR freezes the expansion, and investigates the relative curvature in different regions. The fourth dimension is seen as just that--a fourth dimension on equal par with the three spatial dimensions, but it only ever runs a Planck's length deep. Macroscopic time is oft confused with the fourth dimension, but it is an emergent property of a fourth dimension expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions in units of the Planck length. Time inherits aspects of the fourth expanding dimension, but it is not a dimension in the sense that we can not freely go back and forward in it, but for at distances equal to the Planck time, as the past and future do not exist; as was once supposed by Einstein's block universe and the pleasant science fiction masquerading as physics that concerns itself wormholes and time machines.
Hawking's imaginary time is the frozen fourth dimension, which is orthogonal to the three spatial dimensions and hence the i--which implies emergent orthoganality when one is solving equations. The frozen time only ever runs the Planck length deep, for as soon as a point in the fourth dimension has expanded as a spherically-symmetric wavefront to a sphere of Planck-length radius, every point on that sphere expands again. The rate of this expansion of the fourth dimension is c--the velocity of light.
String theory is representative of what has been playing out in numerous arenas--on Wall Street (Enron, Worldcom, pension-raiding), in literature (Frey, rampant plagiarism, plotless, storyless hype), in government (those who promise to cut taxes and raise them). What it comes down to is the destruction of truth, freedom, and the individual by elite fools with ambitions overshadowing their talents. Want to be the next Einstein or Shakespeare or Bill Gates? Sign up for our pomo-hipster MBA/JD/Ph.D. program! The pomo academy must destroy common sense in order to hawk their product. You too can be Brian Greene with a PBS mini-series, but only if you buy Michio Kaku's textbook on String Theory, which opens with: "The great irony of string theory, however, is that the theory itself is not unified. To someone learning the theory for the first time, it is often a frustrating collection of folklore, rules of thumb, and intuition. (IN OTHER WORDS IT IS NOT PHYSICS!!!) At times, there seems to be no rhyme or reason for many of the conventions of the model. 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!!" -Chapter 1. Path Integrals and Point Particles: Why Strings? "Introduction to Superstrings and M-Theory," page 5. -Michio 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, to
Feynman has this to say to Kaku & Brian Greene et al,
"But this long history of learning how not to fool ourselves--of having utter scientific integrity--is, I'm sorry to say, something that we haven't specifically included in any particular course that I know of. We just hope you've caught on by osmosis. The first principle is that you must not fool yourself--and you are the easiest person to fool. So you have to be very careful about that. After you've not fooled yourself, it's easy not to fool other scientists. 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 am not trying to tell you what to do about cheating on your wife, or fooling your girlfriend, or something like that, when you're not trying to be a scientist, but just trying to be an ordinary human being. We'll leave those problems up to you and your rabbi. 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." --Richard Feynman, "Cargo Cult Science"
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.
Think about this.
In order to stay stationary in space-time, the photon must propagate through space with the velocity c. It must keep up with the expanding fourth dimension in order to have zero net movement through space-time.
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 moves through space? This is because the fourth dimension itself is moving relative to space.
Moving Clocks Emit Less Photons = Moving Clocks Run Slow As an object accelerates through space, it is rotated more and more into the expanding fourth dimension. Less wave fronts of the expanding fourth dimension, which can carry away photons, are allowed to pass through it. 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. Simply put, the faster a clock propagates, the more likely it is to reabsorb a photon, and as an object ceases to emit photons, it ceases to age, as all aging, be it the unwinding of a clock spring, the oscillations of a quartz crystal, or biochemical reactions, are inherently related to the emission of photons.
A Photon Preserves its Fourth Dimension Geometry as it Propagates: Gravitational Redshift
String theorists don't make predictions, they make excuses. --Richard Feynman
An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: What does happen is that the opponents gradually die out. -Max Planck...I do feel strongly that this is nonsense!...I think all this superstring stuff is crazy and is in the wrong direction.... I don't like it that they're not calculating anything....why are the masses of the various particles such as quarks what they are? All these numbers... have no explanations in these string theories - absolutely none!... -Richard Feynman in Davies and Brown, Superstrings, Cambridge 1988, pp. 194-195.
String theory is the Enron of physics, and like Enron, it is but the tip of the iceberg of the widespread group-think decline. Where Enron and Worldcom and Global Crossing lied to plunder pensions and investors, String Theory lies to plunder tax and tuition dollars. With millions of NSF dollars at stake, and billions more in the way of tax and tuition, fashion and group-think are now held superior to logic and reason in physics. And as in all totalitarian systems which hold themselves above logic, reason, truth, justice, and practicality, the worst are promoted, while the best are exiled. The group-think sycophants get the postdocs, while the indie physicists must forage on their own. Are new ideas important in physics as prominent physicists so often proclaim? If so, then why are young scientists with new ideas based in logic, reason, and reality, so often castigated, impugned, and crucified while those who quietly, passively, and uncreatively accept the nonsensical, none-physics, crackpot mythologies of String Theory and M-Theory rewarded with vast salaries, health benefits, TV shows, book deals, and tenure? I would very much like to discuss my new theory here, but I am forbidden from even mentioning its name, as the String Theorists and other fashionistas do not approve of theories with postulates based in logic and reason. And so their multi-billion dollar myth is perpetuated at the expense of logic, reason, and physics. But time is on our side. And what is time? I am not allowed to say, as my theory is banned for the moment. The current state of physics has several Prominent Physicsists and Great Thinkers spinning in their graves: The world we have made as a result of the level of thinking we have done thus far creates problems we cannot solve at the same level of thinking at which we created them. -Albert Einstein
Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by the age of eighteen. --Albert Einstein
The mere formulation of a problem is far more often essential than its solution, which may be merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skill. To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle requires creative imagination and marks real advances in science. --Albert Einstein
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. --Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein's three rules of work: 1. Out of clutter, find simplicity. 2. From discord, find harmony. 3. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity
Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. --Albert Einstein

Indeed, I would welcome some well-reasoned debate.
In this day and age of unprecedented hype, hand-waving, and hoaxes in theoretical physics, Dynamic Dimensions Theory rocks the universe with a simple postulate. The simple postulate is:
The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimenions. -Moving Dimensions Theory
The object of science is to unify formerly disparate phenomena within a deeper framework, and Moving Dimensions Theory unifies both Quantum Mechanics and Relativity with a simple framework. For instance, both the results of the double-slit experiment and length contraction of relativity are suddenly understood in the profound context of Moving Dimensions Theory. The famous equation E=mc2 is presented in a deeper context, finally accounting for the deeper physical reality that gives massive energies to small masses seemingly at rest.
Godel's paradox of block-time is resolved, and action at a distance and quantum entanglement are explained within MDT's simple framework.
The arrow of time and entropy--the second law of thermodynamics--are accounted for, and time dilation is explained. MDT is a theory so revolutionary that it may be banned from the academy for years, as health benefits and tenure are far more important than truth, logic, and reason in today's postmodern academies.
And at last time is explained as a phenomenon that emerges from a deeper physical reality.
THE GENERAL POSTULATE OF DYNAMIC DIMENSIONS THEORY The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.
THE SPECIFIC POSTULATE OF DYNAMIC DIMENSIONS THEORY The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions at the rate of c in units of the Planck length, giving rise to time and all classical, quantum mechanical, and relativistic phenomena.
A PROOF OF MDT 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 dimensions.
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 in any frame, measured relative to the velocity of light in that frame, will always be the same.
How can photons display both wave and particle properties?
Unlike String Theory, Moving Dimensions Theory is rooted in logic and reason, and it comes complete with a postulate: THE FIRST POSTULATE OF MOVING DIMENSIONS THEORY: 1. The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.
More specifically, the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions in units of planck length at the rate of c. I look forward to feedback and insights regarding its logic. Moving Dimensions Theory http://physicsmathforums.com/ Questions Addressed by MDT: Why is the speed of light constant in all frames? Why are light and energy quantized? How can matter display both wave and particle properties? Why are there non-local effects in quantum mechanics? Why does time stop at the speed of light? How come a photon does not age? Why are inertial mass and gravitational mass the same thing? Why do moving bodies exhibit length contraction? Why are mass and energy equivalent? Why does time's arrow point in the direction it points in? Why entropy? Why do photons appear as spherically-symmetric wavefronts traveling with the velocity c? Why is there a minus sign in the following metric? x^2+y^2+z^2-c^2t^2=s^2 What deeper reality underlies Einstein's postulates of relativity? What deeper reality underlies Newton's laws? What underlies the laws of Inertia? Why does general relativity fail at short distances? Why does quantum mechanics dominate at short distances? Why have so many great minds, Einestin, Godel, Wheeler, Hawking, and Penrose called for a new conception of time? If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it. --Albert Einstein If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants. --Isaac Newton Max Planck, the father of quantum theory, felt that the pioneer scientist must have "a vivid intuitive imagination, for new ideas are not generated by deduction, but by artistically creative imagination." An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: What does happen is that the opponents gradually die out. --Max Planck Moving Dimensions Theory (MDT) Today I am writing regarding Moving Dimensions Theory-a deeper model for explaining diverse phenomena in both quantum mechanics and relativity. The General Postulate of Moving Dimensions Theory: The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions. The Specific Postulate of Moving Dimensions Theory: The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions at the rate of c in quantized units of the Planck length. Relativistic, classical, and quantum mechanical phenomena, as well as time itself, are emergent properties of this fundamental principle. Newton's laws, the principle of Inertia, Einstein's postulates, and the inherent wave-particle duality of QM may be explained with this model. A FEW YEARS BACK A few years back, while surfing a towering wave on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, a beautiful thought occurred to me. Suppose the wave I was riding represented a coordinate in a dimension. Then although I was approaching shore, I was not moving in this dimension. The dimension itself was moving with me-I was surfing the dimension. In a flash I saw that that is why photons never age-they are moving along with the fourth dimension, and thus stationary relative to it. In another flash I saw that that is why a photon's space-time interval is represented by a null vector, or a 0, no matter how far it travels. Indeed Einstein stated that an object's velocity through space-time was always c-even stationary objects are traveling at the velocity c through time! How could this be, were it not for a fourth expanding dimension, which matter could surf as photons, giving rise to our notion of time? And so it is that Moving Dimensions Theory was born as the wave crested and crashed about me, thundering on down, as I fought to remain surfing amidst the foam, facing
Consider a 4th dimension expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions in units of the Planck length at the rate of c.
It explains a helluva lot, is all I'm saying.
Moving Dimensions Theory Can Unify GR & QM:
By offering an underlying reality from where both branches of physics emerge--an underlying reality of a fourth dimension expanding relative to three spatial dimensions, MDT unifies relativity and quantum mechanics not with indecipherable mathematical mythologies, but with a simple postulate. MDT explains quantum mechanical effects such as wave-particle duality, the EPR effect, and the quantization of light and energy, as well as the two postulates of relativity: the speed of light is constant in all inertial frames and the laws of physics are the same for all inertial observers. MDT also explains relativistic effects such as time dilation and length contraction. The beauty of Moving Dimensions Theory is that it explains properties of quantum mechanics and relativity in the deeper context of a unified framework, opening a door to a deeper physical reality--the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.
The Purpose of Physics
The purpose of physics has ever been to unify diverse physical phenomena with simple postulates, laws, and formulas reflecting the deeper physical reality. MDT unifies relativity and quantum mechanics by positing that they are both emergent properties of moving dimensions. MDT's simple postulate--the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions--offers the first satisfactory explanation of the Einstein Podolsky Rosen (EPR) effect and the nonlocal behavior inherent to the math and physical reality of quantum mechanics. Time itself is viewed not as the fourth dimension, but as an emergent phenomena arising from the expansion of the fourth dimension relative to the three spatial dimensions. This logic alleviates a confusion of time with an actual fourth dimension where one can travel back and forth at will, thus addressing Godel's, Einstein's, Hawking's, Barbour's, and Penrose's concerns about frozen time, and accounting for time's relentless arrow, the second law of thermodynamics, and entropy.
This is but a brief treatment of a much larger project.
The General Postulate of Moving Dimensions Theory:
The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.
The Specific Postulate of Moving Dimensions Theory:
The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions at the rate of c in quantized units of the Planck length.
From this postulate arise all observable phenomena in quantum mechanics and relativity, including the following:
The Constant Velocity of Light:
Light travels with constant velocity of c, because the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions at the rate of c. Light, or energy, is matter rotated completely into the expanding fourth dimension, orthogonal to the three spatial dimensions. No matter how fast a spaceship is traveling, when it turns its lights on, the light can only propagate as fast as the expanding fourth dimension can carry it.
The Constant Velocity of Light in All Inertial Frames:
The velocity of light is always measured relative to the velocity of time, and the velocity of time is always measured relative to the velocity of light. This tautology assures us that the velocity of light will always be the same for all observers in all inertial frames, as the velocity of light is being measured relative to the velocity of light in that frame. However, as demonstrated by experiments, time and light travel slower close to gravitational masses, when measured from distant frames.
What is Time?
Time is an emergent property of the underlying reality that a fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions. All our measurements of time are based on the emission and propagation of photons, and all photons propagate
A photon does not age. No time passes for a photon. This is because although a photon travels with the velocity c, it stays at the exact same place in the fourth dimension as it surfs the expanding fourth dimension. How else, other than with a moving fourth dimension, can we explain that the only way to stay stationary in the fourth dimension is to move at the velocity of c relative to the three spatial dimensions? And how else, but with a moving fourth dimension, can we explain that any object stationary in the three spatial dimensions is moving with a velocity of c relative to the fourth dimension?
Time is an Emergent Phenomena of Moving Dimensions--It is Not a Dimension
Einstein's, Penrose's (and many leading physicist's) mistaken view of "the future being out there" in a block universe arises because physicists misleadingly label "time" the fourth dimension, thus implying that just as we can move anywhere in the three spatial dimensions, such as up and down and back again, so too can we move anywhere in the time dimension, to the past, the future, and back again, implying that both the past and future must exist, as sure as New York and Los Angeles.
But time is not so much the fourth dimension as it is an emergent phenomena that arises because a fourth dimension is expanding at the rate of c relative to the three spatial dimensions in a spherically symmetric manner in units of the Planck length.
Einstein was Right:
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 it is moving through time at the rate of c. 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, meaning that it is still traveling at the rate of c through time, as it is stationary in space. Rotate it into the time dimension instead of into the y dimension, and its 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 propagate faster through the three spatial dimensions as it is rotated into the fourth "time" dimension (via a boost) because the fourth dimension is moving relative to the three spatial dimensions.
Simply put, it is not possible to rotate an object into the fourth "time" dimension without that object's velocity through the three stationary dimensions changing. Thus the time dimension itself must be expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions. Another way of looking at this is asking, "Why must something always gain a greater velocity through space when it is rotated into the fourth "time" dimension?" If someone can conduct a Lorentz transformation on a ruler, and rotate it into the fourth dimension without its velocity augmenting through the three spatial dimensions, I would very much like to hear about it.
Moving Dimensions Theory explains a lot of physics without growing government bureaucracies, and thus it is generally deemed as unworthy by tenured String Theorists and other government officials.
But MDT explains:
The Collapse of the Wave Function:
The collapse of the wave function is also known as an irreversible process, or a measurement, akin to a photon blackening a grain in photographic film, or a photon being measured in front of one slit or the other in a double-slit experiment, whereupon the interference pattern disappears because the slit is ascertained, the wave has collapsed, and the matter exhibits particulate behavior. Before it was measured, the photon expanded through space as a spherically-symmetric wave front, as it was matter surfing the expanding fourth dimension, which is expanding through space in a spherically-symmetric manner. Until the photon interacts with matter, or a measuremen
Time is an emergent property of the underlying reality that a fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions. All our measurements of time are based on the emission and propagation of photons, and all photons propagate by surfing the expanding fourth dimension. So it is that time inherits properties of the fourth dimension, but time is not the fourth dimension.
Too many physicists have extended dimensional properties to the notion of time, rather than realizing that time is an emergent property tied closely to a fourth expanding dimension. Because our notions of time are linked to change, and because all change is linked to the emission and propagation of photons, and because all photons propagate in the expanding fourth dimension, time has naturally been confused with the fourth dimension. Because the fourth dimension is expanding in quantized units, macroscopic objects never make it any deeper into the fourth dimension than a quantum unit.
This explains why although we can move up, down, left, and right, we can't go back to yeasterday, except in the science fiction penned by Kaku, Thorne, and Davies.
Time is an emergent property of a fourth dimension expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.
The purpose of physics has ever been to unify diverse physical phenomena with simple postulates, laws, and formulas reflecting the deeper physical reality. MDT unifies relativity and quantum mechanics by positing that they are both emergent properties of moving dimensions. MDT's simple postulate--the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions--offers the first satisfactory explanation of the Einstein Podolsky Rosen (EPR) effect and the nonlocal behavior inherent to the math and physical reality of quantum mechanics. Time itself is viewed not as the fourth dimension, but as an emergent phenomena arising from the expansion of the fourth dimension relative to the three spatial dimensions. This logic alleviates a confusion of time with an actual fourth dimension where one can travel back and forth at will, thus addressing Godel's, Einstein's, Hawking's, Barbour's, and Penrose's concerns about frozen time, and accounting for time's relentless arrow, the second law of thermodynamics, and entropy.
Brian Greene's Treatment-The Time Dimension is Moving Relative to the Spatial Dimension
As Brian Greene points out in the Appendix to Chapter 2 of The Elegant Universe, we note that from the space-time position 4-vector x=(ct,x1,x2,x3), we can create the velocity 4-vector u=dx/d(tau), where tau is the proper time defined by d(tau)^2=dt^2-c^-2(dx1^2+dx2^2+dx3^2). Then the "speed through space-time" is the magnitude of the 4-vector u, ((c^2dt^2-dx^2)/(dt^2-c^-2dx^2))^(1/2), which is identically the speed of light c. Now, we can rearrange the equation c^2(dt/d(tau))^2-(dx/d(tau))^2=c^2 to be c^2(d(tau)/dt))^2+(dx/d(tau))^2=c^2. This shows that an increase of an object's speed through space, (dx/d(tau))^2)^(1/2)= dx/d(tau) must be accompanied by a decrease in d(tau)/dt which is the object's speed through time, which also may be considered the rate at which time elapses on its own clock d(tau) or the proper time, as compared with that on our stationary clock dt."
As light is just surfing the expanding foruth dimension, slowing light dwn just means you're holding the momenergy back as the crests of the fourth expanding dimension surge forward.
This appens all the time in glass and other meidums wherin the index of refraction is greater than one.
The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions. Moving Dimensions Theory accounts for the aetherless aether.
This simple postulate offers a physical model underlying and unifiying:
RELATIVITY:
1) length contraction 2) time dilation 3) the equivalence of mass and energy 4) the constant velocity of light 5) 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 paradox
THERMODYNAMICS 1) Time's arrow 2) Entropy
STRING THEORY'S MANY DIMENSIONS / KALUZA/KLEIN THEORY 1) a fourth expanding dimension can be interepreted as many dimensions, each time it expands
THE UNITY OF THE DUALITIES 1) wave/particle duality 2) time/space duality 3) energy/mass duality 4) E/B duality
The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions in a sphereically symmetric manner, in units of the Planck length, at the rate of c.
This means that every point in three dimnesional space is always expanding into a fourth dimensional sphere with a radius of the plank length. A photon is matter caught on the surface of this quantized expansion, and thus energy is quantized. The expansion of the fourth dimension occurs at the rate of c, and thus the velocity of all photons is c.
"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 truth stares modern physicists in the face, they must close their eyes so as to get a postdoc or raise more funds for 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.

Ed Witten Seen Reading Lee Smolin's "The Trouble With Physics": NSF Quadruples LQG's Funding, Slashes ST's Funding, and Every University Gets Three LQG Theorists To Talk Amongst Themselves & Give One Another Tenure!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THE PHYSICS TIMES Princeton, NJ
Ed Witten was seen reading Lee Smolin's THE TORUBLE WITH PHYSICS while simultaneuosly walking down Nassau Street in an inertial frame, followed by his 137 postdocs, who were chanting in unison.
Some towards the front of the line started crying first, as they realized it was the end of a free ride for blind obedience, and that for health benefits and summers off, they were going to have to hurt themselves by thinking on their own.
The news spread far and wide. Up in Cambridge Lubos Motl changed his snarky two star amazon review for THE TROUBLE WITH PHYSICS to a laudatory five star review, so as to secure future NSF funding. And Michio Kaku added Smolin as a friend at his myspace page, after a call from his media team.
"I've seen darker days than this," Brian Greene smiled. "I already got my two string theory coffee table books out and am set. I know that I have secured the Nobel--in literature."
Witten said, "It is time to make peace. The most important thing that we ST, LQGers, and Not Even Wrongers must do is continue to oppose physical theories, which unify disparate physical phenomena in the same physical framework. Otherwise mathematical masturbation will fall out of favor, and we will have to join the proletariat in working for a living and taking what they're giving."
I wish Woit would have talked more about his views on the future of physics.
String Theory was the only game in town, and now there are two--ST & deconstructing ST.
But there is another that actually unifies QM & SR & GR with a physical model: MDT--it's physics!
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 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 ma
ALL TIED UP & STRUNG ALONG, a movie about String Theorists and their expansive theories which extend human ignorance, pomposity, and frailty into higher dimensions, is set to start filming this fall. Jessica Alba, John Cleese, Eugene Levie, Jackie Chan, and David Duchovney of X-files fame have all signed on to the $700 million Hollywood project, which is still cheaper than String Theory itself, and will likely displace less physicists from the academy.
"As contemporary physics is about money, hype, mythology, and chicks," Ed Witten explained from his offices at the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, "The next logical step was Hollywood, although I thought Burt Reynolds should play me instead of Eugene Levy."
Brian Greene, the famous String Theorist who will be played by David "the truth is out there" Duchovney, explained the plot: "String theory's muddled, contorted theories that lack postulates, laws, and experimentally-verified equations have Einstein spinning so fast in his grave that it creates a black hole. In order to save the world, we String Theorists have to stop reformulating String Theory faster than the speed of light. We are called upon to stop violating the conservation of energy by mining higher dimensions to publish more BS than can accounted for with the Big Bang alone, and I win the Nobel prize for showing that M-Theory is in fact the dark matter it has been searching for."
Greene continues: "At first my character is reluctant to stop theorizing and start postulating, but when my love interest Jessica Alba is sucked into the black hole, I search my soul and find Paul Davies there, played by John Cleese. I ask him what he's doing in my soul, and he explains that the answer is contained in the mind of God, which only he is privy too, but for a small fee, some tax and tuition dollars, a couple grants here and there, and an all-expense-paid book tour with stops in Zurich and Honolulu, he can let me in on it. And he shows me God in all her greater glory, as he points out that we can make more money in Hollywood than writing coffee-table books that recycle Einstein, Bohr, Dirac, Feynman, and Wheeler. I am quickly converted, and I agree to turn my back on String Theory's hoax and save Jessica Alba."
But it's not that easy, as standing in Greene's way is Michio "king of pop-theory-hipster-irony-the-theory-of-everything- or-anything-made- you-read-this" Kaku, played by Jackie Chan. Kaku beats the crap out of Greene for alomst blowing the "ironic" pretense his salary, benefits, and all-expense paid trips depend on. "WE MUST HOLD BACK THE YOUNG SCIENTISTS WITH OUR NON-THEORIES!! WE MUST FILL THE ACADEMY WITH THE POMO DARK MATTER THAT IS STRING THEORY TO KEEP OUR UNIVERSE FROM FLYING APART, OUR PYRAMID SCHEMES FROM TOPPLING, AND OUR PERPETUAL-MOTION NSF MONEY MACHINE FROM STOPPING!!" Kaku argues as he delivers a flying back-kick, "There can be ony ONE! I WILL be String Theory's GODFATHER as referenced on my web page!! I have better hair!"
But Greene fights back as he signs his seventeenth book deal to make the hand-waving incoherence of String Theory accessible to the South Park generation, senior citizens, and starving chirldren around the world. "Kaku! Kaku! (pronounced Ka-Kaw! Ka-Kaw! like Owen Wilson did in Bottle Rocket)," Greene shouts. "It is theoretically impossible to build a coffee tables strong enough to support any more coffee-table physics books!!!"
"Time travel is also theoretically impossible, but there's a helluva lot more money for us in flushing physics down a wormhole. Nobody knows what the #&#%&$ M stands for in M theory ya hand-waving, TV-hogging crank!!! Get it?? Ha Ha Ha! We're laughing at the pu

The Curious Nature of the Photon, Einstein's Annus Mirabilis,
and Moving Dimensions Theory
As the contemplation of the photon lead to both quantum mechanics and relativity, let us also begin by contemplating the photon. Einstein's revolutionary 1905 papers included one devoted to the photoelectric effect--the quantized nature of the photon, and another devoted to the electrodynamics of moving bodies--electromagnetic radiation, relativity, and the wave properties of the photon. Another paper discussed statistical mechanics in the form of Brownian Motion, and the final paper commented on the equivalence of mass and energy, as denoted with his famous equation, E=mc2. Moving Dimensions Theory underlies and unifies all of Einstein's 1905 papers with its simple postulate--the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.
Picture the emission of a photon in free space. Once second later, the photon has equal probability of being found anywhere upon a sphere with a radius of 186,000 miles, as c, the velocity of light, equals 186,000 miles per second. If we covered the surface of the sphere with detectors, one, and only one, would click. And the photon, although traveling 186,000 miles through space, will not have aged one iota, for time stops at the speed of light. The photon will have traveled 186,000 miles through the three spatial dimensions, and yet it will not have moved one iota in the fourth dimension. And there lies our first clue to moving dimensions theory. For how can a photon propagate 186,000 in the three spatial dimensions, and yet not budge an inch in the fourth dimension, unless that fourth dimension is expanding? Ergo, the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.
Consider two interacting photons that propagate in opposite directions. 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 for all intents and purposes. This "spooky action at a distance," as Einstein called it, is not so spooky in the context of moving dimensions theory, for MDT states that although separated by 372,000 miles, the photons are yet in the exact same place in the fourth dimension, as the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions. So it is that quantum phenomena on the photonic level, as well as relativistic phenomena on the photonic level, are both accounted for with simple elegance via MDT: 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 it will spread out throughout the entire pool, and never again reassemble in a localized region. That everything tends towards random disorder is a fundamental law of physics, and too, it can be accounted for by moving dimensions theory. 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 at great distances from one another one second later--distances far greater than the distance that separates them at their emission. This is because each one has an equal probability of being found anywhere upon the surface of a spherically-symmetric wave front of probability, corresponding to the wave front of the fourth expanding dimension. Recall our system of detectors placed everywhere through the surface of a sphere with a radius of 186,000 miles--each photon has an equal chance of being found at any detector after one second, and chances are that the detectors will be farther apart than the distance of 0 that defines the photon's common origin. Hence entropy

Why does Peter spend so much time talking about Lubos et al, inestead of Moving Dimensions Theory?
MDT is the best-tested theory of all time.
MDT predicts that an object's velocity through spacetime is always c. This is because the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.
MDT's postulate: The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions, in units of the planck length, at the rate of c.
The above has been shown in experiment, after experiment, after experiment.
MDT predicts that the only way to stay stationary in the three spatial dimensions is to move with a velocity of c relative to the fourth expanding dimension. This is because the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.
The above has been shown in experiment, after experiment, after experiment.
MDT predicts that the only way to stay stationary in the fourth expanding dimension is to move with the velocity c relative to the three spatial dimensions. This is because the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial diemnsions.
The above has been shown in experiment, after experiment, after experiment.
MDT predicts the equivalence of mass and energy. Matter, when rotated into the fourth expanding dimension is foreshortened, and it appears as photons.
The above has been shown in experiment, after experiment, after experiment.
MDT predicts the constant speed of light. The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions at the rate of c. Hence the speed of matter rotated into the the fourth dimension is c. No matter how fast the source is moving, the second the photon leaves thes ource, it is carried by the fourth expanding dimension, so its speed is always c, independent of the source.
The above has been shown in experiment, after experiment, after experiment.
MDT predicts wave-particle duality. As matter expands in the fourth dimension in the form of a photon, it appears as a spherically-symmetric wavefront. Hence Young's double-slit experiment and interference. When the wave--the matter being carried along by the fourth expanding dimension--is perturbed, it is collapsed, and brought into the the three stationary spatial dimensions. Hence the quantum nature of all energy.
The above has been shown in experiment, after experiment, after experiment.
MDT predicts entropy--the fundamental motion of the universe is the spherically-symmetric wavefront defiend by the fourth dimenion expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions--hence entropy. Two particles at a similar origin have a probability to move apart.
The above has been shown in experiment, after experiment, after experiment.
Hence all radiation fundamentally appears as spheircally-symmetric wavefronts propagating in the three stationary spatial dimensions.
The above has been shown in experiment, after experiment, after experiment.
MDT predicts the null vector for photons, as well as the - (minus) sign in the space-time metric. As the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions, the only way to have zero interval is to move with the origin--at the speed of light.
The above has been shown in experiment, after experiment, after experiment.
MDT unfreezes time. Time, as we consider it, is not the fourth dimension, but it is an emrgent property of a fourth dimension expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions. This confusion of time with the actual fourth dimension has lead to Godel's paradox and the block-universe, which although they have provided Paul Davies with a lucrative living for his fantasies and science fiction, are not real. Barbour gets close to this.
The above has been shown in experiment, after experiment, after experiment.
General Relativity freezes time--it is a tiny loop at each given instant, but one second later, that loop has a radius of 186,000 miles.

The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions in a sphereically symmetric manner, in units of the Planck length, at the rate of c.
This means that every point in three dimnesional space is always expanding into a fourth dimensional sphere with a radius of the plank length. A photon is mater caught on the surface of this quantized expansion, and thus energy is quantized. The expansion of the fourth dimension occurs at the rate of c, and thus he velocity of all photons is c.

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 becaus

http://physicsmathforums.com/showthread.php?t=56
ALL TIED UP & STRUNG ALONG, a movie about String Theorists and their expansive theories which extend human ignorance, pomposity, and frailty into higher dimensions, is set to start filming this fall. Jessica Alba, John Cleese, Eugene Levie, Jackie Chan, and David Duchovney of X-files fame have all signed on to the $700 million Hollywood project, which is still cheaper than String Theory itself, and will likely displace less physicists from the academy.
"As contemporary physics is about money, hype, mythology, and chicks," Ed Witten explained from his offices at the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, "The next logical step was Hollywood, although I thought Burt Reynolds should play me instead of Eugene Levy."
Brian Greene, the famous String Theorist who will be played by David "the truth is out there" Duchovney, explained the plot: "String theory's muddled, contorted theories that lack postulates, laws, and experimentally-verified equations have Einstein spinning so fast in his grave that it creates a black hole. In order to save the world, we String Theorists have to stop reformulating String Theory faster than the speed of light. We are called upon to stop violating the conservation of energy by mining higher dimensions to publish more BS than can accounted for with the Big Bang alone, and I win the Nobel prize for showing that M-Theory is in fact the dark matter it has been searching for."
Greene continues: "At first my character is reluctant to stop theorizing and start postulating, but when my love interest Jessica Alba is sucked into the black hole, I search my soul and find Paul Davies there, played by John Cleese. I ask him what he's doing in my soul, and he explains that the answer is contained in the mind of God, which only he is privy too, but for a small fee, some tax and tuition dollars, a couple grants here and there, and an all-expense-paid book tour with stops in Zurich and Honolulu, he can let me in on it. And he shows me God in all her greater glory, as he points out that we can make more money in Hollywood than writing coffee-table books that recycle Einstein, Bohr, Dirac, Feynman, and Wheeler. I am quickly converted, and I agree to turn my back on String Theory's hoax and save Jessica Alba."
But it's not that easy, as standing in Greene's way is Michio "king of pop-theory-hipster-irony-the-theory-of-everything- or-anything-made-
you-read-this" Kaku, played by Jackie Chan. Kaku beats the crap out of Greene for alomst blowing the "ironic" pretense his salary, benefits, and all-expense paid trips depend on. "WE MUST HOLD BACK THE YOUNG SCIENTISTS WITH OUR NON-THEORIES!! WE MUST FILL THE ACADEMY WITH THE POMO DARK MATTER THAT IS STRING THEORY TO KEEP OUR UNIVERSE FROM FLYING APART, OUR PYRAMID SCHEMES FROM TOPPLING, AND OUR PERPETUAL-MOTION NSF MONEY MACHINE FROM STOPPING!!" Kaku argues as he delivers a flying back-kick, "There can be ony ONE! I WILL be String Theory's GODFATHER as referenced on my web page!! I have better hair!"
But Greene fights back as he signs his seventeenth book deal to make the hand-waving incoherence of String Theory accessible to the South Park generation, senior citizens, and starving chirldren around the world. "Kaku! Kaku! (pronounced Ka-Kaw! Ka-Kaw! like Owen Wilson did in Bottle Rocket)," Greene shouts. "It is theoretically impossible to build a coffee tables strong enough to support any more coffee-table physics books!!!"
"Time travel is also theoretically impossible, but there's a helluva lot more money for us in flushing physics down a wormhole. Nobody knows what the #&#%&$ M stands for in M theory ya hand-waving, TV-hogging crank!!! Get it?? Ha Ha Ha! We're laughing at the public! We're the insider pomo hipsters! Get with the gangsta-wanksta-pranksta CRANKSTER bling-bling program!!"
How does it all end? Does physics go bankrupt
The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.
I never said that the time dimension is expanding.
Again, the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.
Time is an emergent property of this underlying reality.
In Moving Dimensions Theory, General Relativity concerns itself with frozen snapshots of the space-time continuum. The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions, and GR freezes the expansion, and investigates the relative curvature in different regions. The fourth dimension is seen as just that--a fourth dimension on equal par with the three spatial dimensions, but it only ever runs a Planck's length deep. Macroscopic time is oft confused with the fourth dimension, but it is an emergent property of a fourth dimension expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions in units of the Planck length. Time inherits aspects of the fourth expanding dimension, but it is not a dimension in the sense that we can not freely go back and forward in it, but for at distances equal to the Planck time, as the past and future do not exist; as was once supposed by Einstein's block universe and the pleasant science fiction masquerading as physics that concerns itself wormholes and time machines.
Hawking's imaginary time is the frozen fourth dimension, which is orthogonal to the three spatial dimensions and hence the i--which implies emergent orthoganality when one is solving equations. The frozen time only ever runs the Planck length deep, for as soon as a point in the fourth dimension has expanded as a spherically-symmetric wavefront to a sphere of Planck-length radius, every point on that sphere expands again. The rate of this expansion of the fourth dimension is c--the velocity of light.

String theory is representative of what has been playing out in numerous arenas--on Wall Street (Enron, Worldcom, pension-raiding), in literature (Frey, rampant plagiarism, plotless, storyless hype), in government (those who promise to cut taxes and raise them). What it comes down to is the destruction of truth, freedom, and the individual by elite fools with ambitions overshadowing their talents. Want to be the next Einstein or Shakespeare or Bill Gates? Sign up for our pomo-hipster MBA/JD/Ph.D. program! The pomo academy must destroy common sense in order to hawk their product. You too can be Brian Greene with a PBS mini-series, but only if you buy Michio Kaku's textbook on String Theory, which opens with:
"The great irony of string theory, however, is that the theory itself is not unified. To someone learning the theory for the first time, it is often a frustrating collection of folklore, rules of thumb, and intuition. (IN OTHER WORDS IT IS NOT PHYSICS!!!) At times, there seems to be no rhyme or reason for many of the conventions of the model. 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!!" -Chapter 1. Path Integrals and Point Particles: Why Strings? "Introduction to Superstrings and M-Theory," page 5. -Michio 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, to

Feynman has this to say to Kaku & Brian Greene et al,
"But this long history of learning how not to fool ourselves--of having utter scientific integrity--is, I'm sorry to say, something that we haven't specifically included in any particular course that I know of. We just hope you've caught on by osmosis.
The first principle is that you must not fool yourself--and you are the easiest person to fool. So you have to be very careful about that. After you've not fooled yourself, it's easy not to fool other scientists. 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 am not trying to tell you what to do about cheating on your wife, or fooling your girlfriend, or something like that, when you're not trying to be a scientist, but just trying to be an ordinary human being. We'll leave those problems up to you and your rabbi. 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." --Richard Feynman, "Cargo Cult Science"

8. The Worldline of a Photon--Stationary in Space-time = Moving Through Space
ct|

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.
Think about this.
In order to stay stationary in space-time, the photon must propagate through space with the velocity c. It must keep up with the expanding fourth dimension in order to have zero net movement through space-time.
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 moves through space? This is because the fourth dimension itself is moving relative to space.
Moving Clocks Emit Less Photons = Moving Clocks Run Slow
As an object accelerates through space, it is rotated more and more into the expanding fourth dimension. Less wave fronts of the expanding fourth dimension, which can carry away photons, are allowed to pass through it. 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. Simply put, the faster a clock propagates, the more likely it is to reabsorb a photon, and as an object ceases to emit photons, it ceases to age, as all aging, be it the unwinding of a clock spring, the oscillations of a quartz crystal, or biochemical reactions, are inherently related to the emission of photons.
A Photon Preserves its Fourth Dimension Geometry as it Propagates: Gravitational Redshift
What is wrong with this statement?
...I do feel strongly that this is nonsense! ...I think all this superstring stuff is crazy and is in the wrong direction. ... I don't like it that they're not calculating anything. ...why are the masses of the various particles such as quarks what they are? All these numbers ... have no explanations in these string theories - absolutely none! ... -Richard Feynman in Davies and Brown, Superstrings, Cambridge 1988, pp. 194-195.
"Consider a 4th dimension expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions in units of the Planck length at the rate of c."
I never said that the fourth dimension is time, though scince fiction writers have sometimes supposed that.

Are New Ideas Important in Physics?
String theorists don't make predictions, they make excuses.
--Richard Feynman
An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: What does happen is that the opponents gradually die out. -Max Planck
String theory is the Enron of physics, and like Enron, it is but the tip of the iceberg of the widespread group-think decline. Where Enron and Worldcom and Global Crossing lied to plunder pensions and investors, String Theory lies to plunder tax and tuition dollars. With millions of NSF dollars at stake, and billions more in the way of tax and tuition, fashion and group-think are now held superior to logic and reason in physics. And as in all totalitarian systems which hold themselves above logic, reason, truth, justice, and practicality, the worst are promoted, while the best are exiled. The group-think sycophants get the postdocs, while the indie physicists must forage on their own.
Are new ideas important in physics as prominent physicists so often proclaim? If so, then why are young scientists with new ideas based in logic, reason, and reality, so often castigated, impugned, and crucified while those who quietly, passively, and uncreatively accept the nonsensical, none-physics, crackpot mythologies of String Theory and M-Theory rewarded with vast salaries, health benefits, TV shows, book deals, and tenure?
I would very much like to discuss my new theory here, but I am forbidden from even mentioning its name, as the String Theorists and other fashionistas do not approve of theories with postulates based in logic and reason. And so their multi-billion dollar myth is perpetuated at the expense of logic, reason, and physics.
But time is on our side. And what is time? I am not allowed to say, as my theory is banned for the moment.
The current state of physics has several Prominent Physicsists and Great Thinkers spinning in their graves:
The world we have made as a result of the level of thinking we have done thus far creates problems we cannot solve at the same level of thinking at which we created them. -Albert Einstein
Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by the age of eighteen. --Albert Einstein
The mere formulation of a problem is far more often essential than its solution, which may be merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skill. To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle requires creative imagination and marks real advances in science. --Albert Einstein
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. --Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein's three rules of work:
1. Out of clutter, find simplicity.
2. From discord, find harmony.
3. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity
Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. --Albert Einstein
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious--it is the source of all true art and science. -Albert Einstein
Science and art belong to the whole world, and before them vani
Indeed, I would welcome some well-reasoned debate.
In this day and age of unprecedented hype, hand-waving, and hoaxes in theoretical physics, Dynamic Dimensions Theory rocks the universe with a simple postulate.
The simple postulate is:
The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimenions. -Moving Dimensions Theory
The object of science is to unify formerly disparate phenomena within a deeper framework, and Moving Dimensions Theory unifies both Quantum Mechanics and Relativity with a simple framework.
For instance, both the results of the double-slit experiment and length contraction of relativity are suddenly understood in the profound context of Moving Dimensions Theory.
The famous equation E=mc2 is presented in a deeper context, finally accounting for the deeper physical reality that gives massive energies to small masses seemingly at rest.
Godel's paradox of block-time is resolved, and action at a distance and quantum entanglement are explained within MDT's simple framework.
The arrow of time and entropy--the second law of thermodynamics--are accounted for, and time dilation is explained.
MDT is a theory so revolutionary that it may be banned from the academy for years, as health benefits and tenure are far more important than truth, logic, and reason in today's postmodern academies.
And at last time is explained as a phenomenon that emerges from a deeper physical reality.
THE GENERAL POSTULATE
OF DYNAMIC DIMENSIONS THEORY
The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.
THE SPECIFIC POSTULATE
OF DYNAMIC DIMENSIONS THEORY
The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions at the rate of c in units of the Planck length, giving rise to time and all classical, quantum mechanical, and relativistic phenomena.
A PROOF OF MDT
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 dimensions.
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 in any frame, measured relative to the velocity of light in that frame, will always be the same.
How can photons display both wave and particle properties?

Unlike String Theory, Moving Dimensions Theory is rooted in logic and reason, and it comes complete with a postulate: THE FIRST POSTULATE OF MOVING DIMENSIONS THEORY: 1. The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.
More specifically, the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions in units of planck length at the rate of c. I look forward to feedback and insights regarding its logic. Moving Dimensions Theory http://physicsmathforums.com/ Questions Addressed by MDT: Why is the speed of light constant in all frames? Why are light and energy quantized? How can matter display both wave and particle properties? Why are there non-local effects in quantum mechanics? Why does time stop at the speed of light? How come a photon does not age? Why are inertial mass and gravitational mass the same thing? Why do moving bodies exhibit length contraction? Why are mass and energy equivalent? Why does time's arrow point in the direction it points in? Why entropy? Why do photons appear as spherically-symmetric wavefronts traveling with the velocity c? Why is there a minus sign in the following metric? x^2+y^2+z^2-c^2t^2=s^2 What deeper reality underlies Einstein's postulates of relativity? What deeper reality underlies Newton's laws? What underlies the laws of Inertia? Why does general relativity fail at short distances? Why does quantum mechanics dominate at short distances? Why have so many great minds, Einestin, Godel, Wheeler, Hawking, and Penrose called for a new conception of time? If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it. --Albert Einstein If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants. --Isaac Newton Max Planck, the father of quantum theory, felt that the pioneer scientist must have "a vivid intuitive imagination, for new ideas are not generated by deduction, but by artistically creative imagination." An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: What does happen is that the opponents gradually die out. --Max Planck Moving Dimensions Theory (MDT) Today I am writing regarding Moving Dimensions Theory-a deeper model for explaining diverse phenomena in both quantum mechanics and relativity. The General Postulate of Moving Dimensions Theory: The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions. The Specific Postulate of Moving Dimensions Theory: The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions at the rate of c in quantized units of the Planck length. Relativistic, classical, and quantum mechanical phenomena, as well as time itself, are emergent properties of this fundamental principle. Newton's laws, the principle of Inertia, Einstein's postulates, and the inherent wave-particle duality of QM may be explained with this model. A FEW YEARS BACK A few years back, while surfing a towering wave on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, a beautiful thought occurred to me. Suppose the wave I was riding represented a coordinate in a dimension. Then although I was approaching shore, I was not moving in this dimension. The dimension itself was moving with me-I was surfing the dimension. In a flash I saw that that is why photons never age-they are moving along with the fourth dimension, and thus stationary relative to it. In another flash I saw that that is why a photon's space-time interval is represented by a null vector, or a 0, no matter how far it travels. Indeed Einstein stated that an object's velocity through space-time was always c-even stationary objects are traveling at the velocity c through time! How could this be, were it not for a fourth expanding dimension, which matter could surf as photons, giving rise to our notion of time? And so it is that Moving Dimensions Theory was born as the wave crested and crashed about me, thundering on down, as I fought to remain surfing amidst the foam, facing
Consider a 4th dimension expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions in units of the Planck length at the rate of c.
It explains a helluva lot, is all I'm saying.
Moving Dimensions Theory Can Unify GR & QM:
By offering an underlying reality from where both branches of physics emerge--an underlying reality of a fourth dimension expanding relative to three spatial dimensions, MDT unifies relativity and quantum mechanics not with indecipherable mathematical mythologies, but with a simple postulate. MDT explains quantum mechanical effects such as wave-particle duality, the EPR effect, and the quantization of light and energy, as well as the two postulates of relativity: the speed of light is constant in all inertial frames and the laws of physics are the same for all inertial observers. MDT also explains relativistic effects such as time dilation and length contraction. The beauty of Moving Dimensions Theory is that it explains properties of quantum mechanics and relativity in the deeper context of a unified framework, opening a door to a deeper physical reality--the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.
The Purpose of Physics
The purpose of physics has ever been to unify diverse physical phenomena with simple postulates, laws, and formulas reflecting the deeper physical reality. MDT unifies relativity and quantum mechanics by positing that they are both emergent properties of moving dimensions. MDT's simple postulate--the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions--offers the first satisfactory explanation of the Einstein Podolsky Rosen (EPR) effect and the nonlocal behavior inherent to the math and physical reality of quantum mechanics. Time itself is viewed not as the fourth dimension, but as an emergent phenomena arising from the expansion of the fourth dimension relative to the three spatial dimensions. This logic alleviates a confusion of time with an actual fourth dimension where one can travel back and forth at will, thus addressing Godel's, Einstein's, Hawking's, Barbour's, and Penrose's concerns about frozen time, and accounting for time's relentless arrow, the second law of thermodynamics, and entropy.
This is but a brief treatment of a much larger project.
The General Postulate of Moving Dimensions Theory:
The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.
The Specific Postulate of Moving Dimensions Theory:
The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions at the rate of c in quantized units of the Planck length.
From this postulate arise all observable phenomena in quantum mechanics and relativity, including the following:
The Constant Velocity of Light:
Light travels with constant velocity of c, because the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions at the rate of c. Light, or energy, is matter rotated completely into the expanding fourth dimension, orthogonal to the three spatial dimensions. No matter how fast a spaceship is traveling, when it turns its lights on, the light can only propagate as fast as the expanding fourth dimension can carry it.
The Constant Velocity of Light in All Inertial Frames:
The velocity of light is always measured relative to the velocity of time, and the velocity of time is always measured relative to the velocity of light. This tautology assures us that the velocity of light will always be the same for all observers in all inertial frames, as the velocity of light is being measured relative to the velocity of light in that frame. However, as demonstrated by experiments, time and light travel slower close to gravitational masses, when measured from distant frames.
What is Time?
Time is an emergent property of the underlying reality that a fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions. All our measurements of time are based on the emission and propagation of photons, and all photons propagate
The Ageless Photon
A photon does not age. No time passes for a photon. This is because although a photon travels with the velocity c, it stays at the exact same place in the fourth dimension as it surfs the expanding fourth dimension. How else, other than with a moving fourth dimension, can we explain that the only way to stay stationary in the fourth dimension is to move at the velocity of c relative to the three spatial dimensions? And how else, but with a moving fourth dimension, can we explain that any object stationary in the three spatial dimensions is moving with a velocity of c relative to the fourth dimension?
Time is an Emergent Phenomena of Moving Dimensions--It is Not a Dimension
Einstein's, Penrose's (and many leading physicist's) mistaken view of "the future being out there" in a block universe arises because physicists misleadingly label "time" the fourth dimension, thus implying that just as we can move anywhere in the three spatial dimensions, such as up and down and back again, so too can we move anywhere in the time dimension, to the past, the future, and back again, implying that both the past and future must exist, as sure as New York and Los Angeles.
But time is not so much the fourth dimension as it is an emergent phenomena that arises because a fourth dimension is expanding at the rate of c relative to the three spatial dimensions in a spherically symmetric manner in units of the Planck length.
Einstein was Right:
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 it is moving through time at the rate of c. 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, meaning that it is still traveling at the rate of c through time, as it is stationary in space. Rotate it into the time dimension instead of into the y dimension, and its 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 propagate faster through the three spatial dimensions as it is rotated into the fourth "time" dimension (via a boost) because the fourth dimension is moving relative to the three spatial dimensions.
Simply put, it is not possible to rotate an object into the fourth "time" dimension without that object's velocity through the three stationary dimensions changing. Thus the time dimension itself must be expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions. Another way of looking at this is asking, "Why must something always gain a greater velocity through space when it is rotated into the fourth "time" dimension?" If someone can conduct a Lorentz transformation on a ruler, and rotate it into the fourth dimension without its velocity augmenting through the three spatial dimensions, I would very much like to hear about it.
Moving Dimensions Theory explains a lot of physics without growing government bureaucracies, and thus it is generally deemed as unworthy by tenured String Theorists and other government officials.
But MDT explains:
The Collapse of the Wave Function:
The collapse of the wave function is also known as an irreversible process, or a measurement, akin to a photon blackening a grain in photographic film, or a photon being measured in front of one slit or the other in a double-slit experiment, whereupon the interference pattern disappears because the slit is ascertained, the wave has collapsed, and the matter exhibits particulate behavior. Before it was measured, the photon expanded through space as a spherically-symmetric wave front, as it was matter surfing the expanding fourth dimension, which is expanding through space in a spherically-symmetric manner. Until the photon interacts with matter, or a measuremen
What is time?
Time is an emergent property of the underlying reality that a fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions. All our measurements of time are based on the emission and propagation of photons, and all photons propagate by surfing the expanding fourth dimension. So it is that time inherits properties of the fourth dimension, but time is not the fourth dimension.
Too many physicists have extended dimensional properties to the notion of time, rather than realizing that time is an emergent property tied closely to a fourth expanding dimension. Because our notions of time are linked to change, and because all change is linked to the emission and propagation of photons, and because all photons propagate in the expanding fourth dimension, time has naturally been confused with the fourth dimension. Because the fourth dimension is expanding in quantized units, macroscopic objects never make it any deeper into the fourth dimension than a quantum unit.
This explains why although we can move up, down, left, and right, we can't go back to yeasterday, except in the science fiction penned by Kaku, Thorne, and Davies.
Time is an emergent property of a fourth dimension expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.
The purpose of physics has ever been to unify diverse physical phenomena with simple postulates, laws, and formulas reflecting the deeper physical reality. MDT unifies relativity and quantum mechanics by positing that they are both emergent properties of moving dimensions.

Brian Greene's Treatment-The Time Dimension is Moving Relative to
the Spatial Dimension
As Brian Greene points out in the Appendix to Chapter 2 of The Elegant
Universe, we note that from the space-time position 4-vector
x=(ct,x1,x2,x3), we can create the velocity 4-vector u=dx/d(tau), where
tau is the proper time defined by
d(tau)^2=dt^2-c^-2(dx1^2+dx2^2+dx3^2). Then the "speed through
space-time" is the magnitude of the 4-vector u,
((c^2dt^2-dx^2)/(dt^2-c^-2dx^2))^(1/2), which is identically the speed
of light c. Now, we can rearrange the equation
c^2(dt/d(tau))^2-(dx/d(tau))^2=c^2 to be
c^2(d(tau)/dt))^2+(dx/d(tau))^2=c^2. This shows that an increase of an
object's speed through space, (dx/d(tau))^2)^(1/2)= dx/d(tau) must be
accompanied by a decrease in d(tau)/dt which is the object's speed
through time, which also may be considered the rate at which time
elapses on its own clock d(tau) or the proper time, as compared with
that on our stationary clock dt."

As light is just surfing the expanding foruth dimension, slowing light dwn just means you're holding the momenergy back as the crests of the fourth expanding dimension surge forward.
This appens all the time in glass and other meidums wherin the index of refraction is greater than one.
The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial
dimensions. Moving Dimensions Theory accounts for the aetherless aether.
This simple postulate offers a physical model underlying and unifiying:
RELATIVITY:
1) length contraction
2) time dilation
3) the equivalence of mass and energy
4) the constant velocity of light
5) 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 paradox
THERMODYNAMICS
1) Time's arrow
2) Entropy
STRING THEORY'S MANY DIMENSIONS / KALUZA/KLEIN THEORY
1) a fourth expanding dimension can be interepreted as many dimensions, each time it expands
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
2) Gravity waves
3) Gravitation attraction
THE SPACE-TIME BACKGROUND
1) quantum foam
2) the smearing of space and time at small distances
3) Hawking's imaginary time
PARADOXES
1) MDT explains away Godel's Block Universe
2) MDT unfreezes time
3) Resolves Zeno'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, in units of the Planck length, at the rate of c.
This means that every point in three dimnesional space is always expanding into a fourth dimensional sphere with a radius of the plank length. A photon is matter caught on the surface of this quantized expansion, and thus energy is quantized. The expansion of the fourth dimension occurs at the rate of c, and thus the velocity of all photons is c.
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 truth stares modern physicists in the face, they must close their eyes so as to get a postdoc or raise more funds for 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.

Ed Witten Seen Reading Lee Smolin's "The Trouble With Physics": NSF Quadruples LQG's Funding, Slashes ST's Funding, and Every University Gets Three LQG Theorists To Talk Amongst Themselves & Give One Another Tenure!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
THE PHYSICS TIMES
Princeton, NJ
Ed Witten was seen reading Lee Smolin's THE TORUBLE WITH PHYSICS while simultaneuosly walking down Nassau Street in an inertial frame, followed by his 137 postdocs, who were chanting in unison.
Some towards the front of the line started crying first, as they realized it was the end of a free ride for blind obedience, and that for health benefits and summers off, they were going to have to hurt themselves by thinking on their own.
The news spread far and wide. Up in Cambridge Lubos Motl changed his snarky two star amazon review for THE TROUBLE WITH PHYSICS to a laudatory five star review, so as to secure future NSF funding. And Michio Kaku added Smolin as a friend at his myspace page, after a call from his media team.
"I've seen darker days than this," Brian Greene smiled. "I already got my two string theory coffee table books out and am set. I know that I have secured the Nobel--in literature."
Witten said, "It is time to make peace. The most important thing that we ST, LQGers, and Not Even Wrongers must do is continue to oppose physical theories, which unify disparate physical phenomena in the same physical framework. Otherwise mathematical masturbation will fall out of favor, and we will have to join the proletariat in working for a living and taking what they're giving."
I wish Woit would have talked more about his views on the future of physics.
String Theory was the only game in town, and now there are two--ST & deconstructing ST.
But there is another that actually unifies QM & SR & GR with a physical model: MDT--it's physics!

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 ma

ALL TIED UP & STRUNG ALONG, a movie about String Theorists and their expansive theories which extend human ignorance, pomposity, and frailty into higher dimensions, is set to start filming this fall. Jessica Alba, John Cleese, Eugene Levie, Jackie Chan, and David Duchovney of X-files fame have all signed on to the $700 million Hollywood project, which is still cheaper than String Theory itself, and will likely displace less physicists from the academy.
"As contemporary physics is about money, hype, mythology, and chicks," Ed Witten explained from his offices at the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, "The next logical step was Hollywood, although I thought Burt Reynolds should play me instead of Eugene Levy."
Brian Greene, the famous String Theorist who will be played by David "the truth is out there" Duchovney, explained the plot: "String theory's muddled, contorted theories that lack postulates, laws, and experimentally-verified equations have Einstein spinning so fast in his grave that it creates a black hole. In order to save the world, we String Theorists have to stop reformulating String Theory faster than the speed of light. We are called upon to stop violating the conservation of energy by mining higher dimensions to publish more BS than can accounted for with the Big Bang alone, and I win the Nobel prize for showing that M-Theory is in fact the dark matter it has been searching for."
Greene continues: "At first my character is reluctant to stop theorizing and start postulating, but when my love interest Jessica Alba is sucked into the black hole, I search my soul and find Paul Davies there, played by John Cleese. I ask him what he's doing in my soul, and he explains that the answer is contained in the mind of God, which only he is privy too, but for a small fee, some tax and tuition dollars, a couple grants here and there, and an all-expense-paid book tour with stops in Zurich and Honolulu, he can let me in on it. And he shows me God in all her greater glory, as he points out that we can make more money in Hollywood than writing coffee-table books that recycle Einstein, Bohr, Dirac, Feynman, and Wheeler. I am quickly converted, and I agree to turn my back on String Theory's hoax and save Jessica Alba."
But it's not that easy, as standing in Greene's way is Michio "king of pop-theory-hipster-irony-the-theory-of-everything- or-anything-made-

Kaku argues as he delivers a flying back-kick, "There can be ony ONE! I WILL be String Theory's GODFATHER as referenced on my web page!! I have better hair!"
But Greene fights back as he signs his seventeenth book deal to make the hand-waving incoherence of String Theory accessible to the South Park generation, senior citizens, and starving chirldren around the world.

But Greene fights back as he signs his seventeenth book deal to make the hand-waving incoherence of String Theory accessible to the South Park generation, senior citizens, and starving chirldren around the world. "Kaku! Kaku! (pronounced Ka-Kaw! Ka-Kaw! like Owen Wilson did in Bottle Rocket)," Greene shouts. "It is theoretically impossible to build a coffee tables strong enough to support any more coffee-table physics books!!!"
"Time travel is also theoretically impossible, but there's a helluva lot more money for us in flushing physics down a wormhole. Nobody knows what the #&#%&$ M stands for in M theory ya hand-waving, TV-hogging crank!!! Get it?? Ha Ha Ha! We're laughing at the public! We're the insider pomo hipsters! Get with the gangsta-wanksta-pranksta CRANKSTER bling-bling program!!"
