Moving Dimensions Theory & On The Advancement Of Physics
Physics has been furthered far more often by a rugged individual
acknowledging the simple and obvious in a pursuit of the truth than
book-keepers-in-training playing games in the abstruse in pursuit of
tenure. The advancement of physics has ever depended far more on logic,
reason, and Truth than government grants, tenure, group think,
peer-reviewed journals, and aging bureaucracies. "That is the way
things are because that is the way things are," has lead to far more
physics than the contemporary, "things can't be that way because
the math dictates that we live in thirty-three dimensions and four are
curled up, and that is what NSF is funding."
When experiments showed that light existed only in quantized packets,
Einstein proclaimed that light only existed in quantized packets, and
he won the Nobel Prize. When spectra from atoms showed discreet
energies, Niels Bohr proclaimed that electrons orbits were quantized,
and he received a Nobel Prize. When Maxwell's Equations had a
recurring constant, Maxwell used c to denote it, and Einstein
proclaimed that the speed of light must be constant for all
observers-and so Special Relativity was born. When Einstein
juxtaposed objects falling towards the earth getting closer together
with the fact that two people starting at the equator, walking on
originally parallel lines of longitude towards the North Pole, would
come together because they were walking on a curve surface, Einstein
proclaimed that the space-time around a massive object must also be
curved. This along with Einstein's realization that the force of
gravity would be rendered null in free-fall, lead to General
Relativity.
And so it is that in the above paragraph you have the roots of the
greatest achievements of physics in the past 100+ years, dwarfing
String Theory, Loop Quantum Gravity, and thousands of their variatons,
which deal in the abstruse, complicated, muddled, and mythological
worlds which are safe from physics simple rigor.
Moving Dimensions Theory returns us to simpler times. It starts with
the simple and keeps it simple. Light travels with a maximum velocity
of c, because the fourth dimension is expanding at a rate relative to
the three spatial dimensions at the velocity of c. A photon expands
through space in a spherically symmetric manner. This is because the
fourth dimension expands through the three spatial dimensions in a
spherically symmetric manner. Energy and mass are equivalent, expressed
by E=mc^2, because energy is nothing more than mass rotated into the
expanding fourth dimension. The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen effect (EPR)
effect, which calls instantaneous action at a distance "spooky,"
can be accounted for by the expanding dimension-as a point expands,
it is yet a single locale in that dimension, and hence though separated
by distance in space, interacting particles may be in the same place in
the time dimension, and hence connected. The null vector of the photon,
which remains 0 no matter how far the photon travels in space-time, may
be accounted for by the fact that the fourth dimension is moving, and
thus the only way to stay still in the four dimensions is to move with
along with the expanding dimension. In Lorentzian Transformations,
there is no way for an object to be rotated into the time dimension
without it moving-this can be explained by the fact that the time
dimension is expanding. All wave-particle duality can be seen as the
result of the universe's existence upon a reality that has three
stationary spatial dimensions and one expanding time dimension-when
matter exists in the stationary dimensions, it is seen as mass, or a
particle. When matter exists in the time dimension it is seen as wave,
or a photon, or energy. Depending how we choose to observer matter
determines whether we observe its wave or particle properties. Photons
are quantized bundles of energy that propagate at the velocity of
c-this is because the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the
three spatial dimensions in a quantized manner, in units of Planck's
length at the rate of c. The Second Law of Thermodyamics, or the law of
Entropy, states that the universe tends towards disorder. This is
because the fourth dimension is expanding in a spherically symmetric
manner, constantly carrying all photons and interacting particles away
from one another-thus a drop of food coloring in a pool will be
carried outward and evenly distributed. In 1949 Godel published a paper
showing that within the theory of relativity, time as we understand it,
does not exist. Einstein recognized Godel's paper as "an important
contribution to the general theory of relativity," and since then
physicists have not been able to find any logical shortcomings in
Godel's work, and nobody has been able to account for the existence
of time. But the Theory of Moving Dimensions accounts for time as we
know it by showing that it is an emergent property of the underlying
dimension's intrinsic relative movement. Relativity becomes
increasingly exact at long-length scales but fails at short ones
because space-time itself is quantized, as the time dimension is
expanding in units of the Planck length. The concept of general
relativity's smooth geometry, at large scales, disappears on
short-distance scales-this has been a problem to string theorists,
but only because they were never bold enough to recognize that's the

And because the underlying architecture of the universe is

units of the Planck length relative to the three spatial dimensions,
quantum mechanics works for the small, while general relativity works
for the large. That is the way it is because that is the way it
is-this was the realization that lead to the postulate of MDT: the
fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.

Since String Theory is a quantum theory, the more general question
applies: what are IT'S laws and postulates?
Unlike Relativity, there is no clear formalism that stands out, only
various attempts at formalizing various parts of it (e.g. Wightmann's
characterization of the Fock state space; von Neumann's attempts at
axiomatizating foundational quantum theory, Haag and Kastler's attempt
at axiomatizating a localized rendering of quantum field theory, etc).
It's all fragmented with no clear voice.
And that's just quantum theory. So, if quantum theory doesn't even had
a clear formulation, it's not reasonable to ask for something more
advanced along this front for one of its instances.

Yes it does eg the existence of spin two particles that have the exact
properties of the graviton, the prediction of the standard of standard model
from intersecting D6 branes etc - all in total agreement with experiment.
What it does not have is predictions peculiar to string theory ie
predictions made by string theory that we do not have other theories for.

All physics is reverse engineered initially. That's a feature, since
it means the theory at least starts out in agreement with known data.

This is well know.

The fourth dimesnion is expanding relative to the three stationary

But it doesn't say anything. Since you are really annoyed that
string theory does not ``predict the stand[sic] model'', could
you show me how your theory predicts the ratio of the W and Z
masses and how that relates to the electric charge? What does
your theory say about the ft-values of superallowed fermi decays?
How does that so-called postulate help us understand the mass
ratios of the leptons?

So was QM and many other things in physics - it in no way changes the fact
it has predictions or postulates. But even if you believe it was reverse
engineered to fit the standard model it was not reverse engineered to
predict gravitons. That it made this prediction without it being deigned to
contain it was one of the reasons interest in it blossomed - along with the
proof it was anomaly free. Come to think of it that is another prediction
of the theory - it is anomaly free.


This is well know.

Moving Dimensions Theory at least has a postulate:

Moving dimensions in total nonsense as has been demonstrated many times on

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 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.
Einstein On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies
In On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies, Einstein wrote, "Examples
of this sort, together with the unsuccessful attempts to discover any
motion of the earth relatively to the 'light medium,' suggest that
the phenomena of electrodynamics as well as of mechanics possess no
properties corresponding to the idea of absolute rest." There is no
frame of absolute rest, because the fourth dimension is expanding at a
constant rate equally in all directions. No relative motion of the
earth was ever discovered relative to the 'light medium,' because
the light medium is the fourth dimension which is expanding equally in
all directions. All of our notions of velocity are measured with
respect to time, and all our notions of time are wed inherently to the
propagation of energy, which is only propagating because it surfs the
crest of the expanding fourth dimension.
Einstein continues, "They suggest that, as already has been shown to
the first order of small quantities, the same laws of electrodynamics
and optics will be valid for all frames of reference for which the
equations of mechanics hold good. We will raise this conjecture (the
purport of which will hereafter be called the "Principle of
Relativity") to the status of a postulate, and also introduce another
postulate, which is only apparently irreconcilable with the former,
namely, that light is always propagated in empty space with a definite
velocity c which is independent of the state of motion of the emitting
body. These two postulates suffice for the attainment of a simple and
consistent theory of the electrodynamics of moving bodies based on
Maxwell's theory for stationary bodies. The introduction of a
"luminiferous ether" will prove to be superfluous inasmuch as the
view here to be developed will not require an 'absolutely stationary
space' provide with special properties, nor assign a velocity-vector
to a point of the empty space in which electromagnetic processes take
place." Again, there is no ether in the classical sense, but there is
a fourth dimension that is expanding relative to the three spatial
dimensions at the constant rate of c in units of the Planck length.

String theory has no laws. It makes no predictions that are not made
by other physics. String theory has no postulates. And it has unified
nothing.
It is an empty promise.

Moving Dimensions Theory & On The Advancement Of Physics

Physics has been furthered far more often by a rugged individual
acknowledging the simple and obvious in a pursuit of the truth than
book-keepers-in-training playing games in the abstruse in pursuit of
tenure. The advancement of physics has ever depended far more on logic,
reason, and Truth than government grants, tenure, group think,
peer-reviewed journals, and aging bureaucracies. "That is the way
things are because that is the way things are," has lead to far more
physics than the contemporary, "things can't be that way because
the math dictates that we live in thirty-three dimensions and four are
curled up, and that is what NSF is funding."

When experiments showed that light existed only in quantized packets,
Einstein proclaimed that light only existed in quantized packets, and
he won the Nobel Prize. When spectra from atoms showed discreet
energies, Niels Bohr proclaimed that electrons orbits were quantized,
and he received a Nobel Prize. When Maxwell's Equations had a
recurring constant, Maxwell used c to denote it, and Einstein
proclaimed that the speed of light must be constant for all
observers-and so Special Relativity was born. When Einstein
juxtaposed objects falling towards the earth getting closer together
with the fact that two people starting at the equator, walking on
originally parallel lines of longitude towards the North Pole, would
come together because they were walking on a curve surface, Einstein
proclaimed that the space-time around a massive object must also be
curved. This along with Einstein's realization that the force of
gravity would be rendered null in free-fall, lead to General
Relativity.



And so it is that in the above paragraph you have the roots of the
greatest achievements of physics in the past 100+ years, dwarfing
String Theory, Loop Quantum Gravity, and thousands of their variatons,
which deal in the abstruse, complicated, muddled, and mythological
worlds which are safe from physics simple rigor.

Moving Dimensions Theory returns us to simpler times. It starts with
the simple and keeps it simple. Light travels with a maximum velocity
of c, because the fourth dimension is expanding at a rate relative to
the three spatial dimensions at the velocity of c. A photon expands
through space in a spherically symmetric manner. This is because the
fourth dimension expands through the three spatial dimensions in a
spherically symmetric manner. Energy and mass are equivalent, expressed
by E=mc^2, because energy is nothing more than mass rotated into the
expanding fourth dimension. The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen effect (EPR)
effect, which calls instantaneous action at a distance "spooky,"
can be accounted for by the expanding dimension-as a point expands,
it is yet a single locale in that dimension, and hence though separated
by distance in space, interacting particles may be in the same place in
the time dimension, and hence connected. The null vector of the photon,
which remains 0 no matter how far the photon travels in space-time, may
be accounted for by the fact that the fourth dimension is moving, and
thus the only way to stay still in the four dimensions is to move with
along with the expanding dimension. In Lorentzian Transformations,
there is no way for an object to be rotated into the time dimension
without it moving-this can be explained by the fact that the time
dimension is expanding. All wave-particle duality can be seen as the
result of the universe's existence upon a reality that has three
stationary spatial dimensions and one expanding time dimension-when
matter exists in the stationary dimensions, it is seen as mass, or a
particle. When matter exists in the time dimension it is seen as wave,
or a photon, or energy. Depending how we choose to observer matter
determines whether we observe its wave or particle properties. Photons
are quantized bundles of energy that propagate at the velocity of
c-this is because the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the
three spatial dimensions in a quantized manner, in units of Planck's
length at the rate of c. The Second Law of Thermodyamics, or the law of
Entropy, states that the universe tends towards disorder. This is
because the fourth dimension is expanding in a spherically symmetric
manner, constantly carrying all photons and interacting particles away
from one another-thus a drop of food coloring in a pool will be
carried outward and evenly distributed. In 1949 Godel published a paper
showing that within the theory of relativity, time as we understand it,
does not exist. Einstein recognized Godel's paper as "an important
contribution to the general theory of relativity," and since then
physicists have not been able to find any logical shortcomings in
Godel's work, and nobody has been able to account for the existence
of time. But the Theory of Moving Dimensions accounts for time as we
know it by showing that it is an emergent property of the underlying
dimension's intrinsic relative movement. Relativity becomes
increasingly exact at long-length scales but fails at short ones
because space-time itself is quantized, as the time dimension is
expanding in units of the Planck length. The concept of general
relativity's smooth geometry, at large scales, disappears on
short-distance scales-this has been a problem to string theorists,
but only because they were never bold enough to recognize that's the
way it is because that's the way it is. Realizing this might have
lead one of them to see that the fourth dimension is expanding at a
rate of c relative to the three spatial dimensions.

So it is seen that Moving Dimensions Theory offers a simple model upon
which all known phenomena of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics may rest.
And because the underlying architecture of the universe is
quantized-because the fourth dimension expands at the rate of c in
units of the Planck length relative to the three spatial dimensions,
quantum mechanics works for the small, while general relativity works
for the large. That is the way it is because that is the way it
is-this was the realization that lead to the postulate of MDT: the
fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.

I've read those books, ``Quantum Fields and Strings.''
So far I have not found any postulates nor laws of String Theory.
Here they are Einstein's postulates of relativity:
1. First postulate (principle of relativity)
The laws of electrodynamics and optics will be valid for all frames in
which the laws of mechanics hold good.
Every physical theory should look the same mathematically to every
inertial observer.
The laws of physics are independent of location space or time.
2. Second postulate (invariance of c)
The speed of light in vacuum, commonly denoted c, is the same to all
inertial observers, is the same in all directions, and does not depend
on the velocity of the object emitting the light. When combined with
the First Postulate, this Second Postulate is equivalent to stating
that light does not require any medium (such as "aether") in which to
propagate.
Here're Newton's 3 Laws of Motion:
I. Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that
state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.
II. The relationship between an object's mass m, its acceleration a,
and the applied force F is F = ma. Acceleration and force are vectors
(as indicated by their symbols being displayed in slant bold font); in
this law the direction of the force vector is the same as the direction
of the acceleration vector.
III. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

The POR as stated by Einstein. However these days it is changed to all the

Every physical theory should look the same mathematically to every

Follows from the POR.

The laws of physics are independent of location space or time.

Follows from the definition of inertial frame so is not a postulate.

It is not equivalent to stating an aether does not exist. For example
nothing in our current laws forbids EM to be governed by the Proca
lagrangain which does not require an aether, gives light a very small but
non zero mass, and means the speed of light is not the same for all inertial
observers.

[EL]
Indeed, because postulates and laws are the classical style of dogmatic
models.
In classic dogma the mathematical construct is to visualize a centre,
for mass, for charge, for magnetic pole, and for all
point-like-particles in particle-physics. Strings begin at a higher
dimension of 1D rather than 0D, which is the first degree of order and
freedom. In some famous formulations 10D and 26D spaces have been
proposed as models. A field is an assignment of a quantity to every
point in space by vectors, which means that a vector space is the
simplest representation of a field; however tensors and spinors are
more complex descriptors of a more coherent and generalized style of
field-modelling-tools. Notice that the target of such models is to
layout a topology with relational quantifications, and here the
dimensions are critical, because each dimension is an arbitration for
which an arbitrated scale is designed to be practical for the purpose
of each scale. Vectors then are directed scales. This means that each
vector in a field can be thought of as a string.
Such a modern approach replaces the old "Postulate" by a topological
construction, and every "Law" by a formal consequence.

The General Postulate of Moving Dimensions Theory:
The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial

The Specific Postulate of Moving Dimensions Theory:

Dimensions do not move.
In an attempt to educate you, here are some examples of base
dimensions:
[L] = Length.
[M] = Mass.
[T] = Time.
[F] = Force.
[Q] = Charge.
There are also many derived dimensions such as:
Action = [LFT] = [L^2.M.T^-1]
Work = [LF] = [L^2.M.T^-2]
As you can see, if you can see, dimensions are arbitrated abstracts
representing phenomenal continua.
Each continuum then, must contain observable changes of state we call
variance, which we need to quantify by measuring such variance or
variable quantities against an invariant scale that we arbitrate as a
standard.
If you are not mentally ill, you should realise by now that you were

In On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies, Einstein wrote, "Examples
of this sort, together with the unsuccessful attempts to discover any
motion of the earth relatively to the 'light medium,' suggest that
the phenomena of electrodynamics as well as of mechanics possess no
properties corresponding to the idea of absolute rest." There is no
frame of absolute rest, because the fourth dimension is expanding at a
constant rate equally in all directions. No relative motion of the
earth was ever discovered relative to the 'light medium,' because
the light medium is the fourth dimension which is expanding equally in
all directions. All of our notions of velocity are measured with
respect to time, and all our notions of time are wed inherently to the
propagation of energy, which is only propagating because it surfs the
crest of the expanding fourth dimension.
Einstein continues, "They suggest that, as already has been shown to
the first order of small quantities, the same laws of electrodynamics
and optics will be valid for all frames of reference for which the
equations of mechanics hold good. We will raise this conjecture (the
purport of which will hereafter be called the "Principle of
Relativity") to the status of a postulate, and also introduce another
postulate, which is only apparently irreconcilable with the former,
namely, that light is always propagated in empty space with a definite
velocity c which is independent of the state of motion of the emitting
body. These two postulates suffice for the attainment of a simple and
consistent theory of the electrodynamics of moving bodies based on
Maxwell's theory for stationary bodies. The introduction of a
"luminiferous ether" will prove to be superfluous inasmuch as the
view here to be developed will not require an 'absolutely stationary
space' provide with special properties, nor assign a velocity-vector
to a point of the empty space in which electromagnetic processes take
place." Again, there is no ether in the classical sense, but there is
a fourth dimension that is expanding relative to the three spatial
dimensions at the constant rate of c in units of the Planck length.

Moving Dimensions Thoery has a postulate:

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.

Classical physics, quantum mechanics, and relativity descend from this
simple postulate. Light, and thus all energy, is quantized as the
dimension which transports it expands in a quantized manner. Light
travels at a constant velocity in all frames because velocity is
measured relative to time which is measured relative to the light that
is transported by the fourth expanding dimension. Thus both
fundamental constants h and c emerge from the fundamental nature of the
expansion of the fourth dimension relative to the three spatial
dimensions. And thus MDT provides a simple, unifying postulate
accounting for the classical, relativistic, and quantum mechanical
properties of this universe.

Incidentally, if string theory can "resolve the incompatibility"
then _it_ must be incompatible with quantum mechanics or general relativity.

...String theory proclaims, for instance, that the observed particle
properties-that is, the different masses and other properties of both
the fundamental particles and the force particles associated with the
four forces of nature (the strong and weak nuclear forces,
electromagnetism, and gravity)-are a reflection of the various ways
in which a string can vibrate.

How does this resolve the incompatibility?

A group of human ideas that have been translated into the abstract code
called human language.

Are you claiming that "ALL" aspects of string theory are incompatible
with "ALL" aspects of quantum mechanics or general relativity therefore
"SOME" aspects of string theory cannot be compatible with "SOME"
aspects of quantum mechanics or general relativity?

It was not intended to resolve the incompatibility but was merely the
provision of basic information that could be used to create some smooth
sounding laws, as requested.
