Discussion on: Theory of the Four-Dimensional Electromagnetic Universe

[maglioned]

I would like to discuss with you my latest work, which led to the publication of my book: Theory of the Four-Dimensional Electromagnetic Universe. (If you’re interested in buying my book, feel free to message me directly. Thanks, everyone!)

Below the abstract and table of contents:
This Theory, "Theory of the Four-Dimensional Electromagnetic universe" presents a novel perspective on the fundamental nature of the universe, proposing that it is a true four-dimensional hypersphere with three spatial dimensions and a fourth spatial dimension perceived as time, along which the 4D universe expands.
The core of this theory revolves around two primary postulates:

1. the existence of a privileged reference system centered on the Big Bang event.
2. the restricted holographic principle.

According to these postulates, the real universe consists of a four-dimensional (4D) spacetime, with three spatial dimensions that we perceive and interact with, and a fourth spatial dimension that manifests to us as time.
We, along with our instruments and measurements, exist within the three-dimensional (3D) part of this 4D universe.
Physical phenomena occurring along the fourth spatial dimension are precluded from our direct perception and measurement. Instead, these phenomena are perceived in the 3D universe qualitatively differently from their true nature in the 4D universe. This perception, however, remains quantitatively proportional to the actual phenomena, as dictated by the restricted holographic principle.
This principle leads to profound implications for our understanding of physical phenomena, including the wave-particle duality of electromagnetic waves, the nature of mass and energy, and the expansion of the universe. The first part of this book delves into the theoretical framework, deriving equations and concepts that lay the foundation for this theory. We explore the implications of a four-dimensional universe and the relationships between time, space, and energy. Here we also define the concept of temporal waves (TWs).
The second part extends these ideas, characterizing the concept of temporal waves (TWs) and their role in the creation and expansion of the universe.
This section proposes that the expansion of the universe is driven by the negative radiation pressure exerted by TWs, which also explains the phenomena of dark energy and dark matter.
Thus, the universe, in its entirety, simplifies to an immense 4D electromagnetic field in which static electromagnetic waves (TWs) oscillate along its fourth spatial dimension, which appears to us as the temporal dimension.
The real universe, therefore, is only light.​

Hey, You've been picking my brains! Ideas for which I was mocked 20 years ago
Just skimmed the intro but will have to check it out carefully. Don't know whether to comment or just sulk!
Spotted one interpretation that can be adjusted. Gotta go shopping. C ya later.

Before I go shopping I just have to comment that in a recent post someone tried to correct my statement that the 4D spacetime dimensions were length, depth, width and 'c' (or t) lol. Yep I am definitely going to sulk!

I'm glad you find my theory interesting! Your feedback is welcome anytime, whether you decide to comment or just reflect on it.

In my theory, the 4D universe is not a space plus an imaginary time dimension as in Minkowski spacetime, but rather four real spatial dimensions. The fourth dimension, according to the restricted holographic principle of my theory, appears to us—living in the 3D part of the 4D universe—as time. The expansion of the universe along this fourth dimension is what we perceive as the passage of time. To fully grasp these ideas, though, you’ll need to read the book!
However. below is an excerpt from my book that will help you understand the difference between my truly 4D universe and the spacetime of relativity.

I think it’s useful to post this discussion:
Temporal waves are explored in the second part of my book. In my theory, there is no inflation, and the expansion speed of the 4D universe occurs along the temporal dimension always at the speed of c "expressed in privileged quantities." This is because c is simply a conversion factor between space and time (S = ct).

Pay attention to what these "privileged quantities" are. In practice, they refer to a "privileged" reference system: the Big Bang, which in this theory corresponds to the center of the real universe, i.e., 4D. (Note that if the real universe is only 3D, then there is no center, and the Big Bang has "expanded" throughout the entire 3D universe.)

Now, if in the 4th dimension the expansion speed is always and constantly c, then there is no acceleration and no derived quantities like force and work. Consequently, gravitational force does not exist either; it is only 3D, as you mentioned.

The crucial point of my theory is Postulate 2 (Restricted Holographic Principle). According to this, what happens along the temporal dimension cannot be seen from the 3D part of the 4D universe where we live as it truly is, but it is observed qualitatively in a different way, though quantitatively proportional (this is due to the conservation principle). Thus, the energy E(tws) of the TWs cannot be seen/perceived as energy, but we observe it as mass, which is proportional to energy according to the equation E(tws)/c^2m

As you will see in the second paper, the radiation pressure exerted by the TWs along the temporal dimension is the cause of the initial and constant expansion of the 4D universe. It’s like inflating a balloon (the 3D analogy of the 4D universe); the pressure causing its expansion acts along the internal diameter (analogous to the temporal dimension of the 4D universe), at 90° to the surface (analogous to the 3D part of the 4D universe where we live). The surface of the balloon expands as a result, but the origin of the expansion acts along its diameter.

We observe the derived expansion in the 3D part, but we cannot see what occurs along the temporal dimension (which, I remind you, is actually always a spatial dimension). However, due to the Restricted Holographic Principle, we and our 3D instruments perceive/measure it as the flow of time.

Yes, we agree mostly. As many of my posts on this forum this year prove. There are some differences however and it is probably a good idea to put the whole theory in context to start.

Our spacetime is set in an embedding space of at least 4 spatial dimensions, none of which match our hypersphere universe. Our spacetime consists of 3D space (The Hypersphere). This space clearly is curved and over its total area orientates in all possible directions of the embedding space.

The Big Bang occurred at the centre of the ball the surface of which is the hypersphere. The expansion from the ball centre (the Big Bang) is radial and the process of radial increase is our Time. I have pointed out over 20 years that the Age of the Universe when considered as a radius of a sphere defines a Hubble Constant (around 70) for each second that the radius is increased.

All of the above 4 dimensions concerning our spacetime, as mentioned above, are spatial and therefore, as mentioned by 'maglioned' this model is not the same as Minkowski's in that time is not an imaginary dimension so Pythagoras' computation does have a 'conventional' format

So far this agrees with 'maglioned'. It is almost a relief that someone has described this mathematically.

I have shown that the spatial expansion is compatible with Special Relativity by a simple diagram plotting distance against time as part of an expanding circle. I have shown that this diagram demonstrates (using Pythagoras) the dilation of time, distance and mass (energy).

I have posted a paper on figshare that shows why we mistake Dark Energy acceleration as a simple error of assuming that all proper time in the universe is parallel. It is orthogonal to 3D space and therefore as a radius in a hyperspherical universe will point in all dimensions available.

I am confident that all of the above is closely compatible with maglioned's book with only trivial differences (I describe the universe as the hypersphere in a time process whereas maglioned universe includes the Big Bang and the time process which has no objection from me at this point)

We do differ though with regard to gravity. The reasons that Maglioned gives for saying that the universe's gravitation is ineffective. I believe the premise on which this is based is wrong. As I have shown in the gravity well diagrams the centre of mass has a time component parallel to the proper time and does not suffer dilation in the same way as the 'slopes' (slopes on the diagram). But, even so the centre is at the lowest point of the well and therefore its Time lags behind the proper time of the universe. This shows that gravity from our mass does assert an influence on expansion (counter to Mag's argument)

There is roomfor debate here!

 

[Gibsense]

Apparently my attempts to publish on figshare have failed because I cannot yet understand the procedure so in case anyone was interested the meat of it is contained in this diagram posted previously on this forum

What is perceived as acceleration by a 3D Flatlander (the Tangent) as increasing speed (the compressed spacing) is actually on the hypersphere equal spacing

This gentleman, author of the book, has decided to play rough by implying he could not understand my responses in what I thought was a rude way. I responded by a detailed explanation and suggested even my grandchild could understand it. He has responded as follows:
"I understand your point about infinite orientations and the hypersphere, but there seems to be a confusion between orientations and dimensions. Dimensions, like x,y,z,ct, are independent degrees of freedom, while orientations are directions within these dimensions. Even in 4D, infinite directions exist within the defined dimensions but do not represent additional dimensions. Time, therefore, is a distinct dimension, not just a radius or orientation within the hypersphere.

Finally, since I don't have the intelligence of your 7-year-old grandson, and you haven't bought my book, I believe our discussion is over."

I don't mind the patronising comments, but he seems to think his ideas are original (I was only trying to help him get his thinking straight, LOL) but I thought the last comment on buying his book was a bit much. He seems to think his ideas are original. I also thought selling stuff was a no-no but was excited someone else having mathematical ability had responded to the principle which I have always thought fairly obvious and which Cat and I had knocked about in part.

So it seems the debate is not what it is about but selling books is. Understandable I suppose but disappointing as I wanted to explore spin-off ideas. Perhaps my bad was my frustrated response to his offhand dismissal of something that was perfectly correct!

What do you think?

 

[COLGeek]

Selling books is fine, just not here. Self promotion or advertising is not allowed.

If the theory can't be discussed without having read the book, then it will be a very short and uninformative chat.
