It seems to me that in the immediate aftermath of the big bang that a massive variety of initial particles would be formed.
Some small subset(s) randomly happen to be able to mutually form stable groupings (the particles of the standard model, dark matter) and thus are more likely to persist...
So if I leave my steel strung guitar overnight in my cold basement, it goes out of tune on the sharp side.
Now if I want to manually tune my guitar sharp, I have to tighten the strings = i.e. put energy into the system and do work.
So where does the energy come from to do this in a cold...
Thats kind of the point of my model, to consider the issues with the extended 13.7 billion year time dimension, which has all these associated problems of implied pre-destiny, time travel and the unsymmetrical relationship of past & future from a human point of view.
My point of regarding...
Well, I look at this way.
The very definition of a dimension implies orthoganality to every other dimension. But your concept of time states that if you now 'when' some object is you can precisely determine where it is in the other 3 dimensions. Therefore , your concept of time, whatever it...
Obviously, the concept relies on the idea that the circular time dimension does not mandate a groundhog instant and that at the 'end' of the loop particles do not have to find themselves where they started. Time in this context implies merely the capability of change. Thats why I used the...
Thanks weaselman - I think the answer to your point re 'forward' and 'backward' is that in this model 'forward' and 'backward' are merely to do with human perception based on statistical / thermodynamic phenomona.
Basically the circular time just allows things to change but there is no...
So, I was just thinking what if the time dimension was a tiny curled up dimension like one of these supposed extra 8 dimensions from string theory ?
If it allowed just enough wiggle room for objects to move the idea has some features that appeal to me.
- time is symmetrical ; no past , no...
Hmmm - so after looking further into the thiis, I think my original question remains valid.
If we take an examples of flatlanders living in 2 dimensions, plus time, if their space was subject to a curvature into a higher dimension, the flatlanders would be able to detect that parallel lines...
Thanks for the responses folks. I clearly was thinking of 'extrinsic' curvature - where can I learn more about the I guess intrinsic curvature , eveidently that's what I need to get my head round. Any good links ?
Hi, I'm new here. I want post a specific question that's been rattling around in my head.
Basically, if you consider the curvature of 3 dimensional space into a 4'th dimension due to gravitational field, has anyone considered the 'direction' of that curvature ?
If you think about the...
