In all honesty, you sound exactly like a crank. In fact, you sound so much like a crank that I think that you should give serious thought to the possibility that you might be a crank.

I *have* considered it. Humans *are* delusional, I am human.

I don't get what you don't get about it.
What happens in your physics if you remove the 4th dimension?

Can you imagine real mass increasing as an object moves?
Or time being reduced to an averaged transfer of energy? (imparted by 1D magnetic fields)
Or time slowing as gravity decreases?


I find "bending space like a rubber sheet" to be "unbelievable".

See this is what you're not grasping: science has nothing to do with imagination or belief. It doesn't matter if you can't imagine it. Mathematics is pure logic, not imagination, and the pure logic of the math combined with the empirical evidence, yields these results. Observation and experimentation confirm them.

That is why intuition and "imagination" (really visualization) is on the whole a poor guide to doing physics. Common sense is totally impotent in dealing with the hidden (to us) portions of nature.

I have read what you writed on scienceforum.net, and some of what you have written here, and i have some questions:
You writed here that Einstein ment that time was the same in the whole universe, which is wrong, since the "core" of his theory of relativity is that time and space can be bent, which has been proved with measurements that has been done by Gravity Probe B. Did you mean that he didn't mean that space/time could be changed, or do you mean that space and/or time is not being bended in the same way all over the universe?
You did also write on scienceforum.net that time flows trough stars. Did you by that mean that time is some kind of force or energy that affects objects in the universe, and that it is not a dimension that objects in the universe moves trough?
I would also like to know what a "quanta" is.
If you could lay out some mathematics and/or observations that you are basing your conclusion on on this website or on scienceforum.net or somewhere else on the internet, then I would be very pleased.
And please tell me if I have got some of that I writed here about what you have written wrong(which I probably have Embarassed )
I have by the way thought about the abstince of reply from the people that you have sendt your theories to, and this is the possibilities that i have come up with:
1) Your theories are so wrong that they don't want anything more to do with you. Shame On You
2) They are still trying to understand your theories. huh
3) Your theories are totally correct, but so new and radical that they don't wan't to accept them, just as Galileos theories where not accepted when he lived.
If 3) is the case, then you have to either wait til after your death before your theories are getting accepted, or to use your theories to do something that would not be possible if your theories were wrong, like building a timemachine(which can possibly not be done if it is no 4th dimension as you have written, but it is the point that the is important thing here)

I'm a stereotypical "eccentric hermit".

(I read a lot)

I figured out a few things that *hadn't* been figured out.
I tried emailing my "discoveries" to scientists.
I got no replies.

My few aquaintances treat me as delusional if I tell them.
Apparently *I* can't figure out things that are *really* important.
If I did then I would have "rank" - autistics don't *get* or need rank.

So,
how do I "persuade" the social entity of "science" to consider my theories?
Online attempts got my threads locked and banishment. This *is* new stuff.

stressing the word "hermit".
so, "tacking it to the doors" of the Church of Science isn't probable
though I *have* been considering "preaching" at a college quad/mall Wink


Do you have any completed course work that can establish your credibility. Also, if you have previously published that will help. Have you attended classes at a university or college? If so you can attempt to discuss your work with a teacher at the school. If he thinks you have something worthwhile to say, he can put you in touch with the right people with a letter of introduction.

Attempting to penetrate academic circles stone cold is almost impossible. You have to know someone in the "establishment" who can vouch for you. Once you have someones ear and eye the progress you make is purely dependent on the quality of what you have to say or write.

The reason why you need a contact person is this: There are a zillion and one crackpots out there and the folks in the scientific establishment do not want to waste there scarce and precious time. So you need to cultivate some contacts first. Remember, every good idea in science (and in other fields) is going to appear odd, wrong or even crazy to those in the business. So to get a hearing you need a contact and then good work and good luck.

Albert Einstein is a case in point. He started out as a "nobody". He did not have an academic position. He was not exactly well liked the the teachers in the school he went to so he could not get references there. But he had published a few minor articles which came to the attention of Max Planck (the inventor of quantum theory) and Planck developed an interest in the young Einstein. Through Planck's recommendation and sponsorship Einstein got 4 articles published in 1905 and the rest is history. Once Einstein got people to listen and take him seriously, the quality of his work took him the rest of the way. So aim to get an entry point. Without this you will not get anywhere.

Sign up for course work at a local college or university, even as an auditor which should be either free or very inexpensive. Cultivate the acquaintance of your teacher or teachers and work it from there.

Why can't either of you ask a simple question?

Let me try:
Please explain what a photon is.
My answer:
A spinning partial loop of a 1D quanta string.
With that you get an individual "packet" of energy that has frequency.
It is also two dimensional.

Do your experiments disprove this?
Or maybe . . .



Can you prove that space warps?

.


Yes. Eddington proved it in 1919 and others have done it even more accurately since. Light bends around the sun because it follows the shortest path in space.


As to the rest of what you say: Sir, it is nonsense of word salad.

Why not learn some REAL science.

And by the way, when you assert something the burden of proof is on YOU. Others do not have to disprove what you say. You have to prove what you say.
