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 genius
and novelty of MDT is that it presents a common physical model which
shows that phenomena from both relativity and quantum mechanics derive
from the same fundamental physical reality.
Nowhere does String Theory nor Loop Quantum Gravity account for quantum
entanglement nor relativistic time dilation. MDT shows these derive
from the same underlying physical reality. Nowhere does ST nor LQG
account for wave-particle duality nor relativistic length contraction.
MDT shows these derive from the same underlying physical reality.
Nowhere does ST nor LQG account for the constant speed of light, nor
the independence of the speed of light on the velocity of the source,
nor entropy, nor time's arrow. MDT shows these derive from the same
underlying physical reality. Nowhere does String Theory nor Loop
Quantum Gravity resolve the paradox of Godel's Block Universe which
troubled Eisntein. MDT resolves this paradox.
Simply put, MDT replaces the contemporary none-theories with a physical
theory, complete with a simple postulate that unifies formerly
disparate phenomena within a simple context.
THE GENERAL POSTULATE
OF DYNAMIC DIMENSIONS THEORY
The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial
dimensions.
If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it.
-Albert Einstein
But after thirty years of the absurdity of String Theory, millions of
dollars from the NSF, and billions of complementary dollars from tax
and tuition and endowments spent on killing physics and indie
physicists, perhaps it's time for something that makes sense-for a
physical theory that actually accounts for a deeper reality from which
both Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, from which time, entanglement,
gravity, entropy, interference, the constant speed of light,
relativistic time dilation, length contraction, and the equivalence of
mass and energy emerge. It's time for Moving Dimensions Theory-MDT.
-The Physicist with No Name
I know what you're thinking. Did he say there were thirty-six
dimensions or only thirty-five? Well to tell you the truth in all this
excitement I've kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .45
Revolver-the most powerful hand gun in the world and would blow your
head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question--Do I feel
lucky? Well, do ya punk!? -Clint Eastwood
I'm interested in the fact that the less secure a man is, the more
likely he is to have extreme prejudice. -Clint Eastwood
Go ahead. Make my day. -Clint Eastwood
MDT IN BRIEF
Without further adieu, allow me to present the beauty and elegance of
MDT by showing both its simplicity and far-reaching ability to account
for and answer fundamental questions. All of the below will be
elaborated on throughout the book.
Questions Addressed by MDT:
Why does light have a maximum, constant speed independent of the
source? The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial
dimensions. A photon is momenergy that exists orthogonal to the three
spatial dimensions. It is carried along by the expanding fourth
dimension. So no matter how fast the source is moving when the photon
is emitted, the photon travels at the rate with which the fourth
dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions. Thus c
is always independent of the movement of the source.
Why are light and energy quantized? The fourth dimension is expanding
in a quantized manner relative to the three spatial dimensions. Light
and energy are matter rotated completely into the fourth expanding
dimension, and as it expands in a quantized manner, light and energy
are thus quantized.
Why is the velocity of light constant in all frames? Time is an
emergent phenomena that arises because the fourth dimension is
expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions. The flow of time is
inextricably wed to the emission and propagation of photons. In all
biological, mechanical, and electronic clocks, the emission and
propagation of photons is what determines time. The velocity of light
is always measured with respect to time, which is inextricably linked
to the velocity of light. This tautology ensures that the velocity of
light, measured relative to the velocity of light, will always be the
same.
How can photons display both wave and particle properties? The
fundamental photon propagates as a spherical wave-front, surfing the
fourth expanding dimension. This is because the fourth expanding
dimension appears as a spherical wavefront as it expands through the
three spatial dimensions. The act of measurement localizes the photon's
momenergy, taking it out of the expanding fourth dimension and trapping
it in the three stationary spatial dimensions, and it appears as a
localized particle, trapped by electrons as it blackens a grain on a
photographic plate.
How can matter display both wave and particle properties? The
fundamental electron is abuzz with photons. Photons are continually
being emitted into the fourth expanding dimension and reabsorbed by the
electron. The continual dance with these photons gives the electron its
wave properties. Nothing moves without photons which up the net
probability that the combine momenergy will be in the expanding fourth
dimension. The more photons one adds to an object, the greater the
chance it has of existing in the expanding fourth dimension, and thus
it moves.
Why are there non-local effects in quantum mechanics? The fourth
dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions. That
means that what begins as a point in the fourth dimension is a sphere
with a 186,000 mile radius one second later. So it is that the entire
spherical wavefront of the photon exists in the exact same place in
time. Hence the non-locality observed in double slit experiments, the
EPR effect, and quantum entanglement. Take two interacting spin ½
photons and let them propagate at the speed of c in opposite
directions. They are yet at the exact same place in time! And too, they
are yet in the exact same place of the fourth expanding dimension.
Why does time stop at the speed of light?
Time depends on the emission and propagation of photons. If no photons
are emitted, time does not occur. This holds true whether the clock is
an unwinding copper spring, a biological system such as a heart, or an
oscillating quartz crystal. No photom emission=no time! As an object
approaches the speed of light, its ability to emit photons without
reabsorbing them diminishes. An object traveling at the speed of light
cannot emit a photon.
How come a photon does not age?
A photon represents momenergy rotated entirely into the fourth
expanding dimension. A photon stays the exact same place in the fourth
dimension, no matter how far it travels. A photon stays the exact same
place in time, no matter how far it travels. Again, time is not the
fourth dimension, but in inherits properties of the fourth dimension.
Why are inertial mass and gravitational mass the same thing?
Why do moving bodies exhibit length contraction?
Movement is always accompanied by a shortening in length. This is
because the only way for a body to move is for it to undergo a rotation
into the forth dimension, which is expanding relative to the three
spatial dimensions. The more energy an electron has, the more photons
it possesses, and the higher probability it exists in the expanding
fourth dimension. Hence its length appears contracted as perceived from
the three spatial dimensions.
Why are mass and energy equivalent?
The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial
dimensions. That means that a baseball sitting on a lab table
stationary in our three-dimensional inertial reference frame, is yet
moving at a fantastic velocity relative to the fourth dimension. Hence
every seemingly stationary mass has a vast energy, as given by E=mc2.
In a nuclear reaction matter is rotated into the expanding fourth
dimension, appearing as high-enegry photons (gamma rays) propagating at
the same velocity of the fourth expanding dimension-c.
Why does time's arrow point in the direction it points in? The fourth
dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions. Hence
every photon naturally expands in a spherically symmetric manner. Hence
every electron, or piece of matter that interacts with photons, is
naturally carried outward from a central point in a spherically
symmetric manner. Hence the particles in a drop of dye in a swimming
pool dissipate in a spherically symmetric manner, and are never
reunited. Hence time's arrow and entropy.
Why do photons appear as spherically-symmetric wavefronts traveling at
a velocity c? The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three
spatial dimensions at the velocity c. Hence photons, which are tiny
packets of momenergy rotated entirely into the fourth dimension, appear
as spherically-symmetric wavefronts propagating at the velocity c.
Why is there a minus sign in the following metric?
x^2+y^2+z^2-c^2t^2=s^2
The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial
dimensions at the velocity c. Hence the only way to stay still in the
space-time continuum, and to achieve a 0 interval, is to move with the
velocity of light.
What deeper reality underlies Einstein's postulates of relativity?
The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial
dimensions at the velocity c. This single postulate assures that the
speed of light is constant for all observers and that the laws of
physics are the same in all inertial frames.
What deeper reality underlies Newton's laws?
Newton's laws are an approximation of relativity and quantum mechanics,
and as MDT underlies QM & relativity, it underlies Newton's laws.
Why is an increase in velocity always accompanied by a decrease in
length as measured by an external observer? All increases in velocity
are accompanied by rotations into the fourth dimension. All particles
can be represented by momenergy 4-vectors. The greater the momenrgy
component in the expanding fourth dimension, the greater the velocity
and speed of the particle. Rest mass is the invariant here. It never
changes. It prefers the three spatial dimensions. In order for it to
move, one must gain energy in the form of photons. These photons prefer
the fourth expanding dimension. The more photons one adds, the greater
the component of the momenergy 4-vector that appears in the fourth
expanding dimension, the more energy the particle has, the shorter it
appears, and the faster it moves.
How MDT Is Aiding Fellow Physicists
"The conclusions from Bell's theorem are philosophically startling;
either one must totally abandon the realistic philosophy of most
working scientists or dramatically revise our concept of space-time."
-Abner Shimony and John Clauser
Moving Dimensions Theory provides this new concept of space-time. The
vast ambitions of most tenure-track physicists, including string
theorists and LQG hypers, causes them to focus on irrelevant, minute
questions, and thus, though funded by millions for over thirty years,
have not yet been able to string the bow. Deeper, true physicists, such
as Abner Shimony and John Clauser are alert to the fact that physics
need news ideas.
The expanding fourth dimension gives rise to non-local phenomena and
quantum entanglement, as the expanding fourth dimension means that two
events separated in the three spatial dimensions can yet appear to be
at the exact same place in the fourth dimension. MDT thus provides the
new concept of space-time.
"For me, then, this is the real problem with quantum theory: the
apparently essential conflict between any sharp formulation and
fundamental relativity. It may be that a real synthesis of quantum and
relativity theories requires not just technical developments but
radical conceptual renewal." -John Bell
Moving Dimensions Theory provides this radical conceptual renewal. The
expanding fourth dimension gives rise to non-local phenomena and
quantum entanglement, as the expanding fourth dimension means that two
events separated in the three spatial dimensions can yet appear to be
at the exact same place in the fourth dimension. MDT thus provides the
new concept of space-time.
"Entanglement is not one but rather the characteristic trait of quantum
mechanics." -Erwin Schrodinger

quelle absurd -- your stuff doesn't even *attempt*
to look at quantum mechanics, just relativity --
while changing nothing of that but phraseology,
insofar as you actually may have understood it. obviously,
you are not a good liar, or are totally out of your depth
(probably haven't even proved the pythagorean theorem, although
there are hundreds of examples to look at !-)

thus:
I agree, what you say about time "being a dimension" -- and
it's not all Minkowski's fault, since he might have qualified it --
just like Bucky Fuller saith. however,
teh rest of it is horseshit; there is no *semblance* of a theory,
just obfuscating metaphors re spacetime -- forget it, or
learn some of it before your next attempt.... ah; I notice that
you've already renonuced Woit!
Quote: MDT unfreezes time, liberating us all with free will-the free will to
I would encourage young physicists to spend a couple hours reviewing
Moving Dimensions Theory. It already answers two of Smolin's "five
great questions."
http://physicsmathforums.com
Not Even Wrong is indeed Not Even Wrong. Is MDT?
thus:
yeah. like, what in Hell is it supposed to mean, that
"the 4th d. expands relative to the 3 others,"
that does not involve windmill-like handwaving
about the Big Bang theory -- is it an alternative metaphor for that,
and
how is it any different?
Quote: I don't want to sound like I am a proponent or contender for this
theory, but for now, your argument has been shown to be weaker than
string theory itself. You see the theory that what a star likes or
dislikes determining physical reality, is ludicrous, please learn how
to present your own ideas so they stand on their own. Unless of course
your some sort of groupy that would do anything a stupid entertainer
desires, however ignorant.
thus:
it's just phase-space; get a grip on it & rotate!...
Hamiltonians, Lagrangians, Lanczos' treatment
in _Variational Mechanics_ e.g.
Quote: I'd said before that the geometry of special relativity adds very little
to what was already present in Newtonian mechanics, and I stick by that.
thus:
quod erat duh, but "vocabulary" is not so much his problem,
concerning the trivium or 3 Rs; after all,
"Stan was the first grammarian...."
anyway, this item should be retitiled as"the League of Crotchety Old
Men,"
or some thing just as relevant to its status in the scientific method;
it's just a past-time, or time-waster!...
re below, I wish taht I could access JSTOR from here;
can't even see the titles of Maas' problems.
Quote: He neither threatened you nor incited death. Time to review some
vocabulary perhaps?
thus:
only this time, he'll be back in the superhero sense
that apparently/supposedly elected a Governeurateur in Kahlee, because
he appears to be making an attempt to improve his linguistic skills,
which I'd argue is the crux of the matter (much more obvious,
with a quasibilingual like monsieur Plutoniac)....
I mean, "imperative defense equations" has a ring,
as well as sounding awefully defensive....
nothing that a lot of Shakespeare couldn't help;
in that other guy's case, that and Schiller, in some order.
Quote: JSH is finally out of steam.
Nah, he'll be back.
thus:
I did notice that that was one of the places
where Bono's pages had content, but
I didn't quickly find any thing that wasn't just fluff;
any one else find it?
thus:
of n=92?... I'm not really sure of the dystinction
of "trans-uranium elements," other than
the one-to-one mapping with the archimedean solids!
thus:
I see; so, now your requirement is that
you have a sort of fixed jumble of various blocks,
not the "optimized" packing of them?...
may as well generalize this to rectangular parallelipipeds; eh?
Quote: the smallest rectangle that can enclose a given set of rectangles?
Yes. BTW, width and height of the enclosing rectangle might be variable.
The original orientation of the n rectangles must remain the same.
Rotating them is not allowed.
thus:
surface of sphere is pi times d "squared;" so that
the area of its circumferential circle is pi times d to the second
power
divided by four (ciircumference, as you said, pi times d).
volume of sphere is pi times d to the third power over 6.
thus:
excellent comparison, considering that *some* one broke the "chain
of evidence" with OJ's bloodsample.
Quote: abusive, evidence-falsifying all-'round bad cop and
now he's the 'expert' CNN uses anytime there's an
issue involving police. He should be in jail, but
http://www.physics.rutgers.edu/~motl/
thus:
Hollinger began as an arms manufacturer,
sort-of like EMI. so, look forward to the day when
Obnoxico Music Corp. gets into laser pistols.
this just in:
yesterday's (Tues,. Nov.15) *UCLA Daily Bruin* finally noted that
darfur is entirely Muslim, though downplaying it AMAP.
thus:
Dick Cheeny, Don Rumsfeld, Osama bin Latin and HARRY POTTER
-- which is a real, fictional character? -- form a mission
to Darfur, to prevent a war instead of to start one:
if Darfur is "100% Muslim," then
what's really going on, there?
is it just aother British Quag for USA soldiers to get bogged
into, with Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan et al ad vomitorium,
under auspices of the UN and NATO?
why won't the Bruin publish the fact of Islam on the ground,
therein?
thus:
Why doesn't the [UCLA Daily] Bruin report that
Darfur's populace is "100%" Muslim,
according to the DAC's sponsor,
Terry Saunders?...
"99%" was the figure given
by Brian Steidle, when I finally found
him at the Hammer, after everyone else
had left (he, his friend & I were the
very last to leave!)...
What could it possibly mean?
--The Other Side (if it exists ... nah !-) |
