Honestly! Look at that exchange. You knew just what I was asking for - why is your answer twice ambiguous? This post is where I found the answer you could have quickly given had you intended some basic explanation of your system rather than quick and unproductive responses that insult my intelligence:

That is the reason I introduce the tau axis. Without the tau axis, there is no way of using points to represent all possibilities with points.
So, I assume you have some t axis which is built on some four dimensional geometry. How then is your tau different from normal proper time? Or, is that probably too complicated to get into? Maybe I should just go admire your theory rather than asking questions which continue to demonstrate my inability to comprehend

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
