Ideas on 4 dimensional universe physics
We played pool Saturday night and then went to Ray's Bar-B-Q and
had a big bull session about relativity. No one could believe
all the things I learned about relativity and the my cousin and
Frank got into another big argument about whether the universe...
Mr. TheBC I'm glad you told us about this saying of Einstein because it shows why Greg Bernhardt told us the rule about not bringing up ether theory on this forum. Now people can't say that the 4 dimensional spacetime all at once can't be a correct theory because there is another one called...
It is not philosophy if it is correct physics. Mr. TheBC believes it is true physics and he gave sayings of Einstein where he said that the universe is 4 dimensional and Einstein is the greatest physicist to ever live and I don't think he would make a saying of such big importance if it was not...
Moving in time
Mr. Billiards1974 in another thread Dr. Donis showed me that one way of looking at it is to imagine the universe is 4 dimensional and that you are a 4 dimensional world tube and that you 3 dimensional world right now is just a slice of the 4 dimensional universe. It's just like...
More to study on
Thank you Mr. TheBC for giving me all of those other posts to study on but now I see it will take me much time to understand all of this. My cousin is going to loan me his book about The Fabric of the Cosmos and I think that will help me understand more about this. I am excited...
Lorentz Ether Theory
Mr. Fredrik and Dr. Donis I understand now that you both already knew about what Einstein said and that he was not saying it as a physicist but was being a philosopher. You have both pointed out many things so I have to study some more on all that.
Please do not think I am...
Other Theory
I was trying to go back through the information given by Mr. Fredrik and Dr. Donis to know more about why they wouldn't agree that what Einstein said. I mean they really agreed but had to say that you couldn't know it for sure because the real 4 dimensional universe with slices is...
Boy! Mr. TheBC you are really giving us some real important sayings of Einstein. It seems like he really did think that the universe and things are 4 dimensional all there at once. I think this is very big news and Mr. Fredrik and Dr. Donis will really be interested to hear about this. You have...
Mr. maxverywell I had some of the same puzzle to study on in my post and Dr. Donis and Mr. Fredrik and others were a big help. They explained the 4 dimensional universe and world tubes and slices for me. The closest Dr. Donis got to answering your question was to say that your world tube means...
I probably don't understand this Dr. Donis. I feel like I have let you down after all of the knowledge you and Mr. Fredrik have offered me. Does it me he is really a 4 dimensional world tube but he just experiences one slice at a time?
I am afraid I don't know what this abstraction is. I'm...
I'm really have to study hard on something now because something don't seem right here. On the one hand people here are saying that I am moving along the 4th direction all the time. But when I look at the spacetime diagram then nothing is moving because everything is a 4 dimension world tube and...
same time in spacetime
OK. You guys got me doing more homework than I ever did in jr. college physics and algebra classes. But this is really getting to be neat stuff. I feel like I'm being a physicist. So I played around with the hyperbola graphs in Microsoft Excel and came up with this one...
Thank you Fredrik. I used up my previewing on Schutz before getting through that but I get an inkling of what it is so I'm going to put your formula into an Excel spread sheet and graph it out. I've also been starting to look in my algebra book and am going to study the hyperpola. I never...
Thanks only to you and the others.
I'm really starting to get on to this. But I am overwhelmed with the idea that the universe is organized with the ray of light always at the 45 degree angle for the guy with perpendicular time and space directions and that the time and space angles for the...
Got it. This is really important. I'm going to mull this over a lot. The 4 dimensional light ray is always at 45 degrees from time and space directions. Now it's really getting in touch with nature and the scheme of things. Lot's of thinking to do. Thanks a lot Mr. WannabeNewton (you must...
