    What is the Composition of Spacetime?

    To respond your standpoint I oblige to refer again to Einstein’s views in his book [Albert Einstein: “Relativity. The Special and the General Theory”, Appendix V, Crown Publishers, Inc., New York (1952)]. The concept of spacetime as an independent reality is inherent in the special...

    What is the Composition of Spacetime?

    To simplify things, as we discussed previously the spacetime and energy are not two separate entities as what we think. The spacetime is not like a sort of container nor does the energy something that fill it. As for your imagination I gave a metaphor that the energy and spacetime are...

    E2 - p2c2 = m2c4 - Meaning of symbols

    Thank you, you are right. The original text of the quotation was written within the context of quantum mechanics. But the bottom line I would like to express is that we can not take the possibility of the existence of such negative energies very lightly. For me the presence of this symmetry, the...

    What is the Composition of Spacetime?

    Did not the advisor talk about the spacetime possessing geometrical properties and not material properties, and about geometry (circle, triangle) to exemplify the nature of spacetime? The spacetime is merely a geometrical quality … but of what? The special relativity gives us a clue. The...

    E2 - p2c2 = m2c4 - Meaning of symbols

    From that quotation we can draw the conlusion that the solutions of the relativistic energy equation E2 = m2c4+p2c2 are as follows: (1) in classical physics we could keep the positive values separate from the negative ones, (2) in quantum mechanics the positive and negative values do not tend to...

    E2 - p2c2 = m2c4 - Meaning of symbols

    What I took from that book was about Einstein’s statement on the nature of spacetime to support my argument. Einstein said that spacetime can’t be ascribed as having a separate existence (to the contrary to Minkowski’s statement that it is an independent reality) and can’t be empty. As the...

    E2 - p2c2 = m2c4 - Meaning of symbols

    The important thing is that the two continua are immiscible. The explanation to the rest will go beyond this thread.

    E2 - p2c2 = m2c4 - Meaning of symbols

    I have posted already in #12, 14, 18,19, 21 the subject related to your inquiry. Let me summarize. The 4-dimensional [ocean of] energy potentially consists of positive and negative energies (E2 = m2c4 + p2c4). This energy, in its originality, is highly unstable and eventually splits into two...

    What is the Composition of Spacetime?

    Thank you. If you are interested, may I suggest you to follow my postings in Re: E2 - p2c2 = m2c4 - meaning of symbols (#12,14,18,19,21) which are related / elaborate further this thread?

    E2 - p2c2 = m2c4 - Meaning of symbols

    Albert Einstein:” Relativity, The Special and The General Theory, Crown Publishers, Inc., New York, 1952. His Note to the Fifteenth Edition, page vi: “… I wished to show that space-time is not necessarily something to which one can ascribe a separate existence, independently of the actual...

    E2 - p2c2 = m2c4 - Meaning of symbols

    Dirac Sea is most likely 3-dimensional(?) and could contain particle/antiparticle. What I mean by the oceans of energies here are 4-dimensional oceans of “pure” energies. These oceans of positive and negative energies are originated from the split of the original 4-dimensional spacetime (unsplit...

    E2 - p2c2 = m2c4 - Meaning of symbols

    Don’t forget that we are talking about four-dimensional ocean of energies. As we have discussed in the foregoing, the spacetime is just the structural quality of energy. The number of dimensions of the spacetime is the reflection of the potency or the degree of freedom of the underlying energy...

    E2 - p2c2 = m2c4 - Meaning of symbols

    Roger Penrose in his book [“The Road to Reality”, P.614, Vintage Book, London, 2005] elaborates the difficulties with this relativistic energy equation quiet thoroughly. Let me quote and summarize his view. The square root of the expression (m2c4+p2c2)1/2 indeed creates difficulties because it...

    E2 - p2c2 = m2c4 - Meaning of symbols

    As the meaning of symbols has been exhaustively elucidated, I wish to respond to your remark about the importance of this relativist energy equation. You are absolutely right, the equation E2 = m2c4 + p2c4 is one of the most basics in physics. It demonstrates that energy as a whole consists of...

    What is the Composition of Spacetime?

    The clue obviously can be found within the theory of special relativity. The theory concerns about the fundamentals: the space, time, energy, and matter. The special relativity has unified those fundamentals into two distinct entities: the spacetime as the unification of space and time and the...
