Just to apologize. (And if this was the wrong sub-forum to do this, then I guess I did it again, and apologize again!):redface:

I apologize, then. I guess I glossed over that part of the rules, and didn't realize that such discussions were basically not allowed. :blushing::redface: Though I really did not know where the line between overly speculative was drawn. The idea was an extension of standardly held principles...

I believe it is a self-contradiction only when you look at it from a less than c frame of reference, and the coordinate spacetime dimensions. (Which is what I believe the FAQ is doing). There would obviously be some sort of total disconnect from any less than c frame. The way light can both be...

But that seems to be if you presuppose that there can be no c frame. And that seems to stem from the apparent paradoxes that result apart from the existence of a new dimension.

Well, all inertial frames that are not c. Anything under c, (and in any direction), would still experience the same coordinate three space dimensions and time (though contracted if they are moving at a relativistic speed past another observer). They would still be more aligned with what I was...

This is exactly what I had thought as well. But then the idea of another dimension suddenly occurred to me. The problem is, we're still thinking in terms of the coordinate frame of reference (observers at "rest" relative to us). As I say in there, both frames of reference essentially cease to...

Hi All! I found discussions on this here while researching the subject to see if anyone else has attempted to explore the subject. I saw that several people asked questions pertaining to this, but the question was never really answered. It seemed unanswerable. While many discussions of...
