You need the dimension of time to describe something happening at a
rate, so your new dimension, if it exists, is more likely to be the
fifth dimension than a replacement for the usual fourth dimension,
time.

The accepted wisdom amongst cosmologists is that at each quantum
instant, the universe, which is basically is a 3-dimensional object,
vanishes and is replaced by a slightly different 3-dimensonal universe.
The past used to exist but no longer exists, and the future does not
yet exist.

This is nonsense. The past universe does not vanish. What about all
those time traveling pseudo-photons and such? What about observers in a
different frame of reference? Your view does not take into account
relativistic or quantum theory.

OK, the past doesn't exactly 'vanish', because we can see the light
from distant stars which existed in the past, but those distant stars
have in fact long since 'ceased to exist' even though they are not
invisible. The point I was making is that the past used to exist but
no longer exists, and the future does not yet exist.

I'll drink to that.

If the universe is a GARCH process, what determines the shocks or the
uncertainty?

Here's a good analogy of "surfing a wave" that sheds light on Moving
Dimensions Theory.

Surfing a Dimension: The Birth of Moving Dimesnions Theory

http://physicsmathforums.com/showthread.php?t=60

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--I was stationary with respect to this dimension, but moving
relative to other dimensions. I was "surfing" a moving dimension.

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

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 the fourth
dimension, while moving at the velocity of light relative to the three
spatial dimensions.

And behold! I saw that "moving dimensions" explained the equivalence of
mass and energy. E=mc^2 arose because whenever matter "surfs" the
expanding time dimension, it appears as energy in the three spatial
dimensions.

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
through
space.

Indeed, in his special theory of relaitivty, Einstein stated that an
object's velocity through space-time is always c. This means that even
objects stationary in the three spatial dimensions yet have a velocity
c
through the fourth dimension. How could this be unless the fourth
dimension is moving relative to the three spatial dimensions? Even
"stationary" objects sitting on your desk are traveling at the velocity
c
through time! How could this be were it not that the fourth dimension
is
traveling at the vecolicty c relative to the object that is stationary
in
the three spatial dimensions?


Thus there exists a fourth expanding dimension, which matter can surf
as
photons, giving rise to our notion of time, as well as the equivalence
of
mass and energy in E=mc^2. 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.

What Does It Mean For A Dimension to Move?
Einstein's well-regarded theory of General Relativity inherntly
necessitates the reality of moving dimensions. And yet some trained
physicists have a knee-jerk reaction that the fourth dimension cannot
be
moving because "dimensions cannot move."

But dimensions can and do move relative to one-another.

First off, since the universe is expanding, space-time is also
expanding,
demonstrating that dimensions are moving and expanding. Secondly,
general
relativity demonstrates that massive objects warp space-time, meaning
that
as a massive object moves though space-time, it stretches space-time,
showing again that space-time in one area can move, or deform, relative
to
space-time in another area. GR is a sound theory, backed up with
multiple
high-profile experiments, including the demonstration that starlight is
bent by the sun and the verification that orbiting stars radiate energy
in
the form of gravity waves. Thus there exist neither philosophical nor
physical barriers to the concept of moving dimensions, but for
artificial
ones within lazy minds.

A curious sign of the times is that some physicists will accept on
blind
faith the existence of ten, twenty, or thirty dimensions, dimensions
that
are curled up, or too small to measure, and yet they will reel in shock
and
horror at a perfectly obvious postulate--the fourth dimension is
expanding
relative to the three spatial dimensions.

The Purpose of Physics
The purpose of physics has ever been to unify diverse physical
phenomena with simple postulates, laws, and formulas reflecting the
deeper physical reality. MDT unifies relativity and quantum mechanics
by positing that they are both emergent properties of moving
dimensions. MDT's simple postulate-the fourth dimension is
expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions-offers the first
satisfactory explanation of the Einstein Podolsky Rosen (EPR) effect
and the nonlocal behavior inherent to the math and physical reality of
quantum mechanics. Time itself is viewed not as the fourth dimension,
but as an emergent phenomena arising from the expansion of the fourth
dimension relative to the three spatial dimensions. This logic
alleviates a confusion of time with an actual fourth dimension where
one can travel back and forth at will, thus addressing Godel's,
Einstein's, Hawking's, Barbour's, and Penrose's concerns about
frozen time, and accounting for time's relentless arrow, the second
law of thermodynamics, and entropy.

Questions Addressed by Moving Dimensions Theory (MDT):

Why is the speed of light constant in all frames?

Why are light and energy quantized?

Why does matter display both wave and particle
properties?

Why are there non-local effects in quantum mechanics?
What causes entanglement?

Why does time stop at the speed of light?

What underlies the gravitational redshift?

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?

What underlies all motion? What is the geometry of
motion that is missing in GR?

Why is time-reversal invariance violated?


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

The wave-particle duality of matter and equivalence of mass and energy
are unified under the umbrella of this new framework.

And yes--you guessed it--QM and relativity derive from the same
underlying postulate.

I do hope I am allowed to say this here. Thanks! Discuss!
