"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, toss them over in his mind, and conclude that his beloved principle of relativity was not fundamental at all but emergent--a collective property of the matter constituting space-time that becomes increasingly exact at long length scales but fails at short ones. This is a different idea from his original one but something fully compatible with it logically, and even more exciting and potentially important. It would mean that the fabric of space-time was not simply the stage on which life played out but an organizational phenomenon, and that there might be something beyond." -A Different Universe, Reinventing Physics From The Bottom Down, Robert B. Laughlin, Winner of the Nobel Prize in physics for his work on the fractional quantum Hall effect.
"[String Theory] has no practical utility, however, other than to sustain the myth of the ultimate theory. There is no experimental evidence for the existence of strings in nature, nor does the special mathematics of string theory enable known experimental behavior to be calculated or predicted more easily. Moreover, the complex spectroscopic properties of space accessible with today's mighty accelerators are accountable in only as "low-energy phenomenology"--a pejorative term for transcendent emergent properties of matter impossible to calculate from first principles. String theory is, in fact, a textbook case of Deceitful Turkey, a beautiful set of ideas that will always remain just barely out of reach. Far from a wonderful technological hope for a greater tomorrow, it is instead the tragic consequence of an obsolete belief system--in which emergence plays no role and dark law does not exist." -A Different Universe, Reinventing Physics From The Bottom Down, Robert B. Laughlin, Winner of the Nobel Prize in physics for his work on the fractional quantum Hall effect.
The master antitheory of the age is the idea that there is no fundamental thing left to discover, so that the world we inhabit is simply a swarm of detail that belongs to no one and thus can be legitimately handled by business tactics--resource management, competitive advertising, survival of the fittest, and so forth. A corollary is that there is no absolute truth, but only products, like shirts or hamburgers, that one throws away when their usefulness is exhausted. Antitheories are dangerous ideologies not only because they impede inquiry but because they
Tied Up & Strung Out: Hollywood String Theory Movie!!! Looking For Extras!!! FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
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!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THE PHYSICS TIMES Princeton, NJ
Ed Witten was seen reading Woit's THE NOT EVEN WRONG while simultaneuosly walking down Nassau Street in an inertial frame, followed by his 137 postdocs, who were chanting in unison, as measured by a stationy observer standing outside of PJ's Pancakes.
Some towards the front of the line started crying first (in the lab frame), as they realized it was the end of a free ride for blind obedience, and that for health benefits, trips to exotic conferences, and summers off, they were going to have to start thinking on their own.
The news spread far and wide. Up in Cambridge Lubos Motl changed his snarky one star amazon review for NEW to a laudatory five star review, so as to secure future NSF funding. And Michio Kaku added Woit as a friend on his myspace page, after a call from his media team.
"I've seen darker days than this," Brian Greene smiled, recalling the bar scene with the hot chick in his PBS mini-series. "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. For it is not enough to criticize, and I would hate to see the future of physics dominated by those untying the knots of String Theory.
ST hath failed. Utterly and completely. It could not have failed more with twice as much NSF fundining.
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 genius and novelty of MDT is that it presents a common physical model which shows that phenomena from both relativity and quantum mechanics derive from the same fundamental physical reality.
Nowhere does String Theory nor Loop Quantum Gravity account for quantum entanglement nor relativistic time dilation. MDT shows these derive from the same underlying physical reality. Nowhere does ST nor LQG account for wave-particle duality nor relativistic length contraction. MDT shows these derive from the same underlying physical reality. Nowhere does ST nor LQG account for the constant speed of light, nor the independence of the speed of light on the velocity of the source, nor entropy, nor time's arrow. MDT shows these derive from the same underlying physical reality. Nowhere does String Theory nor Loop Quantum Gravity resolve the paradox of Godel's Block Universe which troubled Eisntein. MDT resolves this paradox.
Simply put, MDT replaces the contemporary none-theories with a physical theory, complete with a simple postulate that unifies formerly disparate phenomena within a simple context.
THE GENERAL POSTULATE OF DYNAMIC DIMENSIONS THEORY The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.

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 wh

An open source business plan you can download from sourceforge.
It's a Catch-22. Universally trusted DRM and syndicated commerce can't work unless the business methods are open, and it is common wisdom that a business must keep its methods secret. Unless of course the business aims to build syndicable marketplaces with universally-trusted DRM riding on Open Source CMS. By surfing along with Moore's Law, Metcalfe's Law, and Constitutional Law, this can all be accomplished.
Digital rights management (DRM) is the holy grail of the internet. It is a multi-billion-dollar, ever-expanding market, and an apt solution will be invaluable to the livelihood of all media companies. 22surf proposes that DRM will be solved with an Open Source philosophy such as that promoted by Authena. Security standards will only emerge if artist-hackers trust them. Over time, marketplaces that are best able to establish trust will prevail and snowball. The first mover in "trust" will have a lot to gain. The business model of centralized conglomerates marketing the digital rights of a handful of artists is outdated. Both the artists and end-consumers have been flustered.
A new model, consisting of a distributed network of thousands of creators hosting their content on Open Source CMS and syndicating it to trusted archives and marketplaces, is emerging. In order to build a trusted network of marketplaces supporting common standards for syndicated commerce, the business plan should be shared openly. The transparency provided by Open Source will foster the adoption of open standards for DRM and syndicated commerce. 22surf encourages artist-hackers to download our business plan for building profitable archives and marketplaces with Open Source CMS, change and build on it, and join in the following revenue streams:
1) sell keyword advertising throughout free OSCMS hosting services (blogs, galleries, etc.), 2) sell advanced hosting options/extra disk space, 3) charge 5% on content marketplace transactions, 4) charge 5% on Open Source Arts freelance services marketplace transactions, 5) manage/host media assets of large businesses (record labels/movie studios/etc.), 6) sell printing services (or partner with businesses) for hard-copy books, prints, CDs, DVDs, etc. 7) create a syndicable friendster/FOAF (friend-of-a-friend) network
Not long after I presented Authena at the Harvard OSCOM conference, I got to thinking the only way one could build a network of marketplaces supporting syndicated commerce would be to Open Source the business plan. Here's the vision: a writer signs up for a free blog at 22blog.com (powered by cafelog), or a band signs up for a free postnuke site taylored for bands at 22band.com (powered by postnuke or phpnuke), or a photographer signs up for a photo gallery or a vvgallery stock photography shop at 22photo.com (powered by gallery), or somebody new in town signs up for a friend-finding/dating FOAF site at 22friend.com. Whoever they are, they're immediately given a master account at 22surf, which allows them to activate a gallery, blog, or personals profile with a single click, and to syndicate their content and information to other networks such as 33surf, or 44surf, or any other network. And as 22surf will be Open Sourced, you'll be able to run your own network and allow your users to syndicate their content and information to other parallel networks, archives, and marketplaces.
22surf aims to leverage Open Source CMS to allow artists, writers and musicians to run their own stock photography shops, record labels, and publishing houses capable of syndicated commerce.
As software has often been Open Sourced with great results for both developers and end-users, we thought we'd Open Source the 22surf business plan by releasing it under a Creative Commons license. This makes sense as our business plan does not consist of building a central marketplace, but rather a distributed network of marketplaces to which artists may syndicate their content. Only with thousands of independent marketplaces can trusted standards emerge.

"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!!

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!"

Hello All,
Please respect that Moving Dimensions Theory is just a theory.
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 fouuth 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.

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.

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, facin

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, 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 the setting sun silhouetting the
Tied Up & Strung Out: Hollywood String Theory Movie!!! Looking For Extras!!! FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
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!

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.

22surfing is a sport. It's for individuals and businesses alike. It's about surfing along with natural laws like Moore's Law, Metcalfe's Law, and intellectual property law towards one's dreams as a creator, hacker, and entrepreneur. It's about riding technology's bleeding edge out to where artist-hackers, writers, movie directors, photographers, and musicians form their own media archives and markets, as Open Source Content Management Systems (CMS) surpass yesterday's proprietary solutions.
Digital rights management (DRM) is the holy grail of the internet. It is a multi-billion-dollar, ever-expanding market, and an apt solution will be invaluable to the livelihood of content creators, programmers, and media companies. The 22surf business plan for generating revenue with Open Source CMS and DRM has been Open Sourced in an effort to foster discussion and inspire fellow artist-hackers to build businesses. Rather than proposing another CMS, 22surf seeks the best route to syndicated commerce and DRM across existing CMS.
An Open Source solution to DRM will be important to artists, musicians, and creators, to the Open Source community, and to DRM. If only proprietary methods for DRM are developed, then corporations will be granted more power over creators, and too, it will be difficult to realize universal, robust standards, as hackers around the world won't be allowed under the hood to improve the system. Furthermore, an Open Source solution to DRM will provide countless business opportunities and jobs for Open Source programmers with record labels, stock photography archives, and movie studios, all of whom will save money.
An Open Source solution to DRM and syndicable media markets is a natural destination for the Open Source movement. DRM and syndication are based on methods and algorithms that must be transparent in order for DRM and syndication to be trusted, secure, and universally accepted.
The internet favors the direct connection of the creator and consumer. In the emerging webscape defined by the Open Source CMS renaissance, creators will be able to define the rights determining how their content is used, and consumers will be able to support their favorite artists and musicians without large corporations taking a cut.
Open Source is granting the creator the power to create their own media markets. Oscommerce is fully capable of handling pay-per-download models alongside physical media sales, bypassing the often greater than 50% cut into an artist's profits that older models centered about large, proprietary online markets claimed. Open Source CMS also allows the creator to maximize their own brand rather than building amazon.com's or barnesandnoble.com's. Future 22surf models are explored, including scenarios wherein open DRM protocols such as openipmp and Media-S are married to Open Source CMS such as xoops, postnuke, tiki, gallery, and oscommerce to provide content marketplaces connecting creators directly to consumers.
22surf encourages artist-hackers to download the 22surf business plan for building profitable archives and marketplaces with Open Source CMS, change and build on it, and join in the following revenue streams: 1) sell keyword advertising throughout free OSCMS hosting services (blogs, galleries, etc.), 2) sell advanced hosting options/extra disk space, 3) charge 5% on content marketplace transactions, 4) charge 5% on Open Source Arts freelance services marketplace transactions, 5) manage/host media assets of large businesses (record labels/movie studios/etc.) with openipmp or Media-S for DRM 6) sell printing services (or partner with businesses) for hard-copy books, prints, CDs, DVDs, etc. 7) create a syndicable friendster/FOAF (friend-of-a-friend) network.

String Theory is a Postmodern Joke!!!!!!!! Even its textbooks say so!!!

"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!!"

"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, toss them over in his mind, and conclude that his beloved principle of relativity was not fundamental at all but emergent--a collective property of the matter constituting space-time that becomes increasingly exact at long length scales but fails at short ones. This is a different idea from his original one but something fully compatible with it logically, and even more exciting and potentially important. It would mean that the fabric of space-time was not simply the stage on which life played out but an organizational phenomenon, and that there might be something beyond." -A Different Universe, Reinventing Physics From The Bottom Down, Robert B. Laughlin, Winner of the Nobel Prize in physics for his work on the fractional quantum Hall effect.
"[String Theory] has no practical utility, however, other than to sustain the myth of the ultimate theory. There is no experimental evidence for the existence of strings in nature, nor does the special mathematics of string theory enable known experimental behavior to be calculated or predicted more easily. Moreover, the complex spectroscopic properties of space accessible with today's mighty accelerators are accountable in only as "low-energy phenomenology"--a pejorative term for transcendent emergent properties of matter impossible to calculate from first principles. String theory is, in fact, a textbook case of Deceitful Turkey, a beautiful set of ideas that will always remain just barely out of reach. Far from a wonderful technological hope for a greater tomorrow, it is instead the tragic consequence of an obsolete belief system--in which emergence plays no role and dark law does not exist."
-A Different Universe, Reinventing Physics From The Bottom Down, Robert B. Laughlin, Winner of the Nobel Prize in physics for his work on the fractional quantum Hall effect.
The master antitheory of the age is the idea that there is no fundamental thing left to discover, so that the world we inhabit is simply a swarm of detail that belongs to no one and thus can be legitimately handled by business tactics--resource management, competitive advertising, survival of the fittest, and so forth. A corollary is that there is no absolute truth, but only products, like shirts or hamburgers, that one throws away when their usefulness is exhausted. Antitheories are dangerous ideologies not only because they impede inquiry but because they

Ed Witten was seen reading Woit's THE NOT EVEN WRONG while simultaneuosly walking down Nassau Street in an inertial frame, followed by his 137 postdocs, who were chanting in unison, as measured by a stationy observer standing outside of PJ's Pancakes.
Some towards the front of the line started crying first (in the lab frame), as they realized it was the end of a free ride for blind obedience, and that for health benefits, trips to exotic conferences, and summers off, they were going to have to start thinking on their own.
The news spread far and wide. Up in Cambridge Lubos Motl changed his snarky one star amazon review for NEW to a laudatory five star review, so as to secure future NSF funding. And Michio Kaku added Woit as a friend on his myspace page, after a call from his media team.
"I've seen darker days than this," Brian Greene smiled, recalling the bar scene with the hot chick in his PBS mini-series. "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. For it is not enough to criticize, and I would hate to see the future of physics dominated by those untying the knots of String Theory.
ST hath failed. Utterly and completely. It could not have failed more with twice as much NSF fundining.
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 genius and novelty of MDT is that it presents a common physical model which shows that phenomena from both relativity and quantum mechanics derive from the same fundamental physical reality.
Nowhere does String Theory nor Loop Quantum Gravity account for quantum entanglement nor relativistic time dilation. MDT shows these derive from the same underlying physical reality. Nowhere does ST nor LQG account for wave-particle duality nor relativistic length contraction. MDT shows these derive from the same underlying physical reality. Nowhere does ST nor LQG account for the constant speed of light, nor the independence of the speed of light on the velocity of the source, nor entropy, nor time's arrow. MDT shows these derive from the same underlying physical reality. Nowhere does String Theory nor Loop Quantum Gravity resolve the paradox of Godel's Block Universe which troubled Eisntein. MDT resolves this paradox.
Simply put, MDT replaces the contemporary none-theories with a physical theory, complete with a simple postulate that unifies formerly disparate phenomena within a simple context.

Ed Witten was seen reading Woit's THE NOT EVEN WRONG while simultaneuosly walking down Nassau Street in an inertial frame, followed by his 137 postdocs, who were chanting in unison, as measured by a stationy observer standing outside of PJ's Pancakes.
Some towards the front of the line started crying first (in the lab frame), as they realized it was the end of a free ride for blind obedience, and that for health benefits, trips to exotic conferences, and summers off, they were going to have to start thinking on their own.
The news spread far and wide. Up in Cambridge Lubos Motl changed his snarky one star amazon review for NEW to a laudatory five star review, so as to secure future NSF funding. And Michio Kaku added Woit as a friend on his myspace page, after a call from his media team.
"I've seen darker days than this," Brian Greene smiled, recalling the bar scene with the hot chick in his PBS mini-series. "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. For it is not enough to criticize, and I would hate to see the future of physics dominated by those untying the knots of String Theory.
ST hath failed. Utterly and completely. It could not have failed more with twice as much NSF fundining.
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 genius and novelty of MDT is that it presents a common physical model which shows that phenomena from both relativity and quantum mechanics derive from the same fundamental physical reality.
Nowhere does String Theory nor Loop Quantum Gravity account for quantum entanglement nor relativistic time dilation. MDT shows these derive from the same underlying physical reality. Nowhere does ST nor LQG account for wave-particle duality nor relativistic length contraction. MDT shows these derive from the same underlying physical reality. Nowhere does ST nor LQG account for the constant speed of light, nor the independence of the speed of light on the velocity of the source, nor entropy, nor time's arrow. MDT shows these derive from the same underlying physical reality. Nowhere does String Theory nor Loop Quantum Gravity resolve the paradox of Godel's Block Universe which troubled Eisntein. MDT resolves this paradox.
Simply put, MDT replaces the contemporary none-theories with a physical theory, complete with a simple postulate that unifies formerly disparate phenomena within a simple context.
THE GENERAL POSTULATE
OF DYNAMIC DIMENSIONS THEORY
The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.
If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it.
-Albert Einstein
But after thirty years of the absurdity of String Theory, millions of dollars from the NSF, and billions of complementary dollars from tax and tuition and endowments spent on killing physics and indie physicists, perhaps it's time for something that makes sense-for a physical theory that actually accoun
THE END OF STRING THEORY: Calling the String Theorists' Bluff: All Tied Up & Strung Along--Hollywood String Theory Movie Tied Up & Strung Out: Hollywood String Theory Movie!!! Looking For Extras!!!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 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.

An open source business plan you can download from sourceforge. It's a Catch-22. Universally trusted DRM and syndicated commerce can't work unless the business methods are open, and it is common wisdom that a business must keep its methods secret. Unless of course the business aims to build syndicable marketplaces with universally-trusted DRM riding on Open Source CMS. By surfing along with Moore's Law, Metcalfe's Law, and Constitutional Law, this can all be accomplished. Digital rights management (DRM) is the holy grail of the internet. It is a multi-billion-dollar, ever-expanding market, and an apt solution will be invaluable to the livelihood of all media companies. 22surf proposes that DRM will be solved with an Open Source philosophy such as that promoted by Authena. Security standards will only emerge if artist-hackers trust them. Over time, marketplaces that are best able to establish trust will prevail and snowball. The first mover in "trust" will have a lot to gain. The business model of centralized conglomerates marketing the digital rights of a handful of artists is outdated. Both the artists and end-consumers have been flustered. A new model, consisting of a distributed network of thousands of creators hosting their content on Open Source CMS and syndicating it to trusted archives and marketplaces, is emerging. In order to build a trusted network of marketplaces supporting common standards for syndicated commerce, the business plan should be shared openly. The transparency provided by Open Source will foster the adoption of open standards for DRM and syndicated commerce. 22surf encourages artist-hackers to download our business plan for building profitable archives and marketplaces with Open Source CMS, change and build on it, and join in the following revenue streams: 1) sell keyword advertising throughout free OSCMS hosting services (blogs, galleries, etc.), 2) sell advanced hosting options/extra disk space, 3) charge 5% on content marketplace transactions, 4) charge 5% on Open Source Arts freelance services marketplace transactions, 5) manage/host media assets of large businesses (record labels/movie studios/etc.), 6) sell printing services (or partner with businesses) for hard-copy books, prints, CDs, DVDs, etc. 7) create a syndicable friendster/FOAF (friend-of-a-friend) network Not long after I presented Authena at the Harvard OSCOM conference, I got to thinking the only way one could build a network of marketplaces supporting syndicated commerce would be to Open Source the business plan. Here's the vision: a writer signs up for a free blog at 22blog.com (powered by cafelog), or a band signs up for a free postnuke site taylored for bands at 22band.com (powered by postnuke or phpnuke), or a photographer signs up for a photo gallery or a vvgallery stock photography shop at 22photo.com (powered by gallery), or somebody new in town signs up for a friend-finding/dating FOAF site at 22friend.com. Whoever they are, they're immediately given a master account at 22surf, which allows them to activate a gallery, blog, or personals profile with a single click, and to syndicate their content and information to other networks such as 33surf, or 44surf, or any other network. And as 22surf will be Open Sourced, you'll be able to run your own network and allow your users to syndicate their content and information to other parallel networks, archives, and marketplaces. 22surf aims to leverage Open Source CMS to allow artists, writers and musicians to run their own stock photography shops, record labels, and publishing houses capable of syndicated commerce. As software has often been Open Sourced with great results for both developers and end-users, we thought we'd Open Source the 22surf business plan by releasing it under a Creative Commons license. This makes sense as our business plan does not consist of building a central marketplace, but rather a distributed network of marketplaces to which artists may syndicate their content. Only with thousands of independent marketplaces can trusted standards emerge.

Hello All, Please respect that Moving Dimensions Theory is just a theory. 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 fouuth 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.

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.

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, 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.

Tied Up & Strung Out: Hollywood String Theory Movie!!! Looking For Extras!!!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
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-wankst

Moving Dimensions Theory
By Dr. E
http://physicsmathforums.com/ [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.

If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

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."

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, 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.

Moving Dimensions Theory By Dr. E 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, 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 the setting sun silhouetting the Hatteras light. And the waves kept on crashing that night. The nonlocal EPR paradox/effect could be explained by the underlying nonlocality of an expanding fourth dimension. The equivalence of mass and energy, the wave-particle duality of all light and matter, the constant speed of light--it could all be understood via a single principle of Moving Dimensions Theory: the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.

22surf Summary:
22surfing is a sport. It's for individuals and businesses alike. It's about surfing along with natural laws like Moore's Law, Metcalfe's Law, and intellectual property law towards one's dreams as a creator, hacker, and entrepreneur. It's about riding technology's bleeding edge out to where artist-hackers, writers, movie directors, photographers, and musicians form their own media archives and markets, as Open Source Content Management Systems (CMS) surpass yesterday's proprietary solutions.
Digital rights management (DRM) is the holy grail of the internet. It is a multi-billion-dollar, ever-expanding market, and an apt solution will be invaluable to the livelihood of content creators, programmers, and media companies. The 22surf business plan for generating revenue with Open Source CMS and DRM has been Open Sourced in an effort to foster discussion and inspire fellow artist-hackers to build businesses. Rather than proposing another CMS, 22surf seeks the best route to syndicated commerce and DRM across existing CMS.
An Open Source solution to DRM will be important to artists, musicians, and creators, to the Open Source community, and to DRM. If only proprietary methods for DRM are developed, then corporations will be granted more power over creators, and too, it will be difficult to realize universal, robust standards, as hackers around the world won't be allowed under the hood to improve the system. Furthermore, an Open Source solution to DRM will provide countless business opportunities and jobs for Open Source programmers with record labels, stock photography archives, and movie studios, all of whom will save money.
An Open Source solution to DRM and syndicable media markets is a natural destination for the Open Source movement. DRM and syndication are based on methods and algorithms that must be transparent in order for DRM and syndication to be trusted, secure, and universally accepted.
The internet favors the direct connection of the creator and consumer. In the emerging webscape defined by the Open Source CMS renaissance, creators will be able to define the rights determining how their content is used, and consumers will be able to support their favorite artists and musicians without large corporations taking a cut.
Open Source is granting the creator the power to create their own media markets. Oscommerce is fully capable of handling pay-per-download models alongside physical media sales, bypassing the often greater than 50% cut into an artist's profits that older models centered about large, proprietary online markets claimed. Open Source CMS also allows the creator to maximize their own brand rather than building amazon.com's or barnesandnoble.com's. Future 22surf models are explored, including scenarios wherein open DRM protocols such as openipmp and Media-S are married to Open Source CMS such as xoops, postnuke, tiki, gallery, and oscommerce to provide content marketplaces connecting creators directly to consumers.
22surf encourages artist-hackers to download the 22surf business plan for building profitable archives and marketplaces with Open Source CMS, change and build on it, and join in the following revenue streams: 1) sell keyword advertising throughout free OSCMS hosting services (blogs, galleries, etc.), 2) sell advanced hosting options/extra disk space, 3) charge 5% on content marketplace transactions, 4) charge 5% on Open Source Arts freelance services marketplace transactions, 5) manage/host media assets of large businesses (record labels/movie studios/etc.) with openipmp or Media-S for DRM 6) sell printing services (or partner with businesses) for hard-copy books, prints, CDs, DVDs, etc. 7) create a syndicable friendster/FOAF (friend-of-a-friend) network.
