A theory of three dimensional spacetime

[Uclock]

Hi all,

I post this theory of three dimensional spacetime in order to discuss its merits and any pitfalls that you may wish to highlight but first I will tell you a little bit about the concept.
True Relativity is a theory of three dimensional spacetime that can mathematically match Newtonian gravity within the confines of the solar system where we know the effect of gravity to be true without the use of Newton’s gravitational constant, which I believe has never been achieved by any professional or institution.
Gravity is not a force that works over an infinite distance and is time dependant in this theory which explains observations such as the almost fixed rotation of stars in spiral galaxies without the need to include dark matter.
Time dilation is accounted for by acceleration and gravity not velocity in this concept, also space itself is not viewed as a metric as it is in GR.
The premiss of this theory is that space and time are exactly the same entity therefore time is not a separate dimension as physics has always maintained.
This theory is testable and one of the biggest tests is the gravity probe ‘B’ experiment whose results are due in April.

Here is the abstract:

This theory is based on the constancy of speed of light in a vacuum no matter what inertial frame of reference it is viewed from and the generation of space and time in the presence of energy. The theory mathematically shows gravity to be localised and is also the first theory of gravity to give an explanation for the arrow of time. Overall this theory represents a paradigm shift in the way space and time is viewed yet it can match Newtonian gravity within the confines of the solar system where we know the effect of gravity to be accurate. If every object or body is generating a spacetime field around itself then every body or object will be truly relative to every other object or body, thus the name given to this theory is True Relativity.

This is my theory of True Relativity.

If you have problems with math, there is an article that explains the concept, including an explanation for inertia without using any math.

Article on True Relativity.


The mathematics of time dilation is explained in this separate paper.

Three dimensional time dilation inside and outside gravitational fields.

I hope you find this theory interesting and I will be pleased to here your comments.

There is a lot of reading to do here.. may get some done between homework over the weekend.

But first I would just like to ask how it is you figure time as a dimension is exactly the same as space. It seems abundantly clear that time is in some way fundamentally different. For one we are not free to move in time as we do in space..

I would also like to hear his explaination on this construct.

Although I would like to add, a consideration I've look at.

Relative to an observer in a reference frame we call: (i). He decides he has absolutely NO idea what Energy (EMR) looks like, how it behaves, or what it is made of. He knows that in order to measure it he has to interact with it with matter, and at which point he has tampered with its pure form.

So this particular observer decides to accept that he will not define whether the vacuum of space is wave like or particle like or frequency like or anything of any property.

He will say only this:

It is information, and it is a constant speed of information, that comes at him from any and all directions.

He says that this information when detected forms his present moment of information about what is possibly surrounding him in the form of spacial position, and the information that is distanced from him is distanced in two forms, spacial length (distance), and time line (distance).

He decides to state, when I imagine to observe a given distance spacially from myself (frame (i)), and call this new position frame (ii), I must also imagine it to be a point in time that is a future moment relative to my real frame (i). A moment I can never actually travel to without leaving my existing moment. A position I can never actually travel to without leaving my existing position.

He says, If I was to have a master switch in the universe and I turned off this energy/information in the form of (EMR), should I conclude that time in my universe has now ceased to become measureable? Including space?

He askes if I stick a ruler out from my body, is it not going into the future as much as it is going out into space relative to my data percepting center?

After some thinking, He claims in respect to this application of space and time of information. Information IS my space and my time, or, that is space is not a thing I can prove, and time is not a thing I can prove. Although when the information comes to my frame, I can state it informs me what space and time just might represent, if I were to sacrifice my current frame for another.

One more thing he says, If this information always travels to me at the same speed, yet I am only capable to be in my position in space(frame) and in time(present), then, can I claim that everything I am informed as space and time is NOT actually there, it is only my prediction of what is there?

So, if I travel faster should my information remain as my reality as I claim it is now at rest, or is my realiy now only my predictions of my surroundings, and will speeding up only alter my predictoins?

This is where it may be difficult for those who have formally studied four dimensional spacetime. You are quite correct, you cannot move backwards and forwards through time as you can do through space.
The space you move through is the spacetime fields of other objects because according to this concept of spacetime, each and every object generates its own spacetime field and this field remains superluminal until it reaches a distance of 299792458m from the object. It is only this part of the field that moves with an object when the object is under acceleration.
This concept predicts quantum entanglement because when a photon is split into two photons the space between them is made of space generated by other objects such as the equipment involved in the experiment. As far as the photon is concerned it remains spatially attached.
There is other experimental evidence for this concept in the form of a detected inflow of space in towards the Sun as explained in the paper.

An interesting thought experiment. When we observe anything we use EMR in the form of light but we never see it in true time because the speed of light is finite. The light from the Sun takes roughly eight minutes to reach us so we see the Sun as it was eight minutes ago and not in real time. Your reality is completely unique to you.

According to this theory of three dimensional spacetime you do not move through your own space because it moves with you. The space you move through is generated by all the objects that surround you.
When an unbalanced force acts on you such as when you are under acceleration, your spacetime field collapses by the amount you are displaced within your own spacetime field which is the force we feel when we are under acceleration.

Objects in free fall feel no force because their movement is caused by space being distorted and not by an unbalanced force so although their velocity increases second by second and we call this acceleration, the reason it moves is not the same as an unbalanced force acting on it.

Each and every frame is completely unique in this concept. In four dimensional spacetime two objects sat side by side and moving in the same direction and same velocity will be considered in the same frame but this is not the case in three dimensional spacetime, each object has its own unique frame.

Time is the rate at which the three dimensions of space flow from each object in this Universe and this flow alters if an unbalanced force acts on the object. Mass also retards the flow of spacetime, thus the greater the mass, the more the retardation of the flow of spacetime from that object.

Viewing spacetime as Einstein did means the velocity of light is a barrier but if this three dimensional view of spacetime is the correct one then that barrier is removed because it is not mass that increases as your velocity increases, its potential displacement within your own spacetime field.

In answer to your question, your reality is unique to you whether or not you are considered at rest or even exceeding the speed of light because light has to approach you through your own spacetime field and this field moves with you as does the spacetime field of the ship you are travelling in. It can only ever approach you at ‘c’ no matter how fast you and your field are moving. There will be no strange spacetime effects other than a change in the colour of stars.

You cannot accelerate at ‘c’ because your field will completely collapse, unless you are inertially isolated, but you can accelerate at a constant 9.81 m s^-2 over a long period to mimic gravity and you will be able to pass light speed. Light speed no longer remains a barrier.
