On page 87 Professor Sean Carroll writes, "The saying goes that every equation cuts your book sales in half." Had only Newton and Einstein known this! Think of how many more copies of Principia Newton would have sold! Think of how many more copies of The Meaning of Relativity would have sold! Without so many equations, Einstein and Newton could have popularized science, instead of just creating it. The funny, ironic thing about this philosophy "The saying goes that every equation cuts your book sales in half" is that it is the central tenet of String Theory and LQG. Without any testable equations, the theories can stay forever in their infancy (without time machines and wormholes even), feeding thousands with tenure and book deals, and fosteirng the growth of snarky psudoscience cabals, complete with armies of pre-reviewers living in parallel universes, equipped with time machines that allow them to get advanced copies of the book for five-star reviews. I have heard that they are now offering classes in certain grad schools which teach the art and science of the anonymous ad hominem attack, and the back-handed snark, to be used in the defense of postulateless, equationless, handwaving pseudosicence. Tens of millions of dollars are at stake, and if we all add one-other to our blog rolls and post anonymous comments on others', we can win big and profit in this new era of scienceless, equationless science, which hath also exiled the founding fathers of physics upon whose shoulders science stands! It as if once they ascended in the academy, they had to kick the ladders of logic, turth, beauty, and reason on down; and the casualties include the heroic spirits of Einstein, Galileo, and Newton. Dr. Carroll's book is quite remarkable in all that it leaves out in its massive length. Dr. Carroll provides plenty of pop-culture quotes but when it comes to defining science, Dr. Carroll forgets to quote the Greats, as he and his colleagues attempt to redefine science in tehir own image--as that which serves not the higher ideals, but the bottom line and book sales. Moving Dimensions Theory--which regards time as an emergent phenomena--was inspired in part by Einstein's words pertaining to the higher purpose of physical theories: "Before I enter upon a critique of mechanics as a foundation of physics, something of a broadly general nature will first have to be said concerning the points of view according to which it is possible to criticize physical theories at all. The first point of view is obvious: The theory must not contradict empirical facts. . . The second point of view is not concerned with the relation to the material of observation but with the premises of the theory itself, with what may briefly but vaguely be characterized as the "naturalness" or "logical simplicity" of the premises (of the basic concepts and of the relations between these which are taken as a basis). This point of view, an exact formulation of which meets with great difficulties, has played an important role in the selection and evaluation of theories since time immemorial." Einstein writes, "The theory must not contradict empirical facts," and right away we can rid ourselves of the ridiculous notion of time travel into the past and multiverses, instead of ridding ourselves of Einstein, as Dr. Carroll does. "In questions of science, the authority of thousands is not worth the humble reasoning of one individual," but in the era of the blogosphere, humble reasoning is not worth the authority of the snarky pseudosicence cartel which drives book sales. Galileo goes on to characterize the entire lost generation of handwaving "physicists" who have dominated and debauched the field over the past several decades; replacing exalted, simple postulates, equations, and experiments with snark, blogrolls, ad hominemn attacks, and crackpot indexes so as to again tenure and dollars. Galileo describes the science-free multiverse Inquisition with, "...my observations have convinced me that some men, reasoning preposterously, first establish some conclusion in their minds which, either because of its being their own or because of their having received it from some person who has their entire confidence, impresses them so deeply that one finds it impossible ever to get it out of their heads. Such arguments in support of their fixed idea ... gain their instant acceptance ... whatever is brought forward against it, however ingenious and conclusive, they receive with disdain or with hot rage ... Beside themselves with passion, some of them would not be backward even about scheming to suppress and silence their adversaries.... No good can come of dealing with such people . . . their company may be not only unpleasant but dangerous. -Galileo" Bruno was burned at the stake by the Inquisition which placed Galileo under house arrest, who was saved from Bruno's fate only after he stated that he believed the earth was indeed stationary. Heroic men battled on the front lines of truth and even gave that last full measure of devotion so that scientific truth might be free from religious corruption, and today Dr. Carroll et al. are thanking them by making sure that science is free from science--free from simple, exalted equations, postulates, logic, reason, and empirical tests and observations. One of the funnier phenomena that has emerged over the past decade is the Ph.D.-less physics fanboy, employed and encouraged by the "Big Physics" bloggers to tear down and attack those who question the equationless, postulateless non-theories and anti-theories set forth by the physics-free "Big Physics" bloggers. The sycophantic fanboys see this as their best chance to eventually gain tenure in the new system that has exiled empirical reality and replaced it handwaving, snark, and intimidation. The Nobel Laureate F.A. Hayek wrote, "When truth ends, the worst rise to the top," and as a social experiment, science-free String Theory has exalted books such as From Eterinity to Here. One of the sadder aspects of this decades-old regime of failure and untestable pseudosicence is that is has bred a snarky, self-satisfied, unheroic type and given him the office once held by men of great honor and integrity. This decline and debauchery has been witnessed all across our society and civilization, and physics has been no exception. One thing missing from Carroll's book is the joy of science and truth one sees in all of Feynman's, Einstein's, Bohr's, and Wheeler's sentences--in every one of their words. For Twain reminds us, "one cannot pray a lie," and it's just no fun replacing exalted science with mere speculation for pure profit, and encouraging all of one's friends and sycophantic fanboys/fangirls to pre-review the book and post here to drive sales. On page 3 Carroll writes, "The arrow of time connects the early universe to something we experience literally every moment of our lives. It's not just breaking eggs, or other irreversible processes like mixing milk into coffee or how an untended room tends to get messier over time. The arrow of time is the reason why time seems to flow around us, or why,m if you prefer, we seem to move through time. It's why we remember teh past, but not the future. It's why we evolve and metabolize and eventually die. It's why we believe in cause and effect, and it's crucial to our notions of free will." And then, Carroll adds, "And it's all because of the big bang." The next 400 pages repeat over and over, "Because I said so." But as both Peter Woit and Lubos Motl point out, in the following 400+ pages of his mammoth book, nowhere does he scientifically prove nor support his contention. While Carroll fails in unifying time and all its arrows and asymmetries with the big bang, he does succeed at a far more difficult unification of hitherto disparate forces of nture, as he unifies Peter Woit and Lubos Motl! Perhaps he should recieve the Nobel for this! The *physical* reality underlying time and all its arrows and asymmetries, as well as the big bang, is Moving Dimensions Theory's central postualte that the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions at c, or dx4/dt=ic. Because MDT comes with a postualte and equation from which all of Einstein's relativity naturally emerges, as well as quantum entanglement & nonlocality, and entropy, the phd-less physics fanboys are commanded to rail against it and snark it from behind anonymous masks, as they have been educated as to the new Carrollian reality wherein physics must remain free of postualtes, equations, and science. I am not kididng you. If you do not believe me, post a comment, and I will share a link or two with you. You can see how Sean ignores all the Nobel Laureates' opinions regarding String Theory in the comments here: fqxi.org/community/forum/ topic/318 , and in his book, Sean still refuses to acknowledge the exalted spirit of Feyman, Einstein, Laughlin, and Glashow; instead siding with Michio Kaku. For what does it profit a multiverser to listen to Nobel Laureates and loseth his book deals and speaking engagements? Long ago, Einstein laid the multiverse to rest with, "But before mankind could be ripe for a science which takes in the whole of reality, a second fundamental truth was needed, which only became common property among philosophers with the advent of Kepler and Galileo. Pure logical thinking cannot yield us any knowledge of the empirical world; all knowledge of reality starts form experience and ends in it. Propositions arrived at by purely logical means are completely empty as regards reality. Because Galileo saw this, and particularly because he drummed it into the scientific world, he is the father of modern physics -- indeed, of modern science altogether." --Albert Einstein, Ideas and Opinions Why sean exiles Galileo and Einstein is a mystery, until one considers the fact that it has been the only way to advance in theoretical physics ove the past thirty years. Math can be very pretty, but Einstein reminds us that physicists ought pursue *physics,* founded in a physical reality--"Mathematics are well and good but nature keeps dragging us around by the nose." And because the multiverse/sci-fi-pseudo-science kept popping up, Einstein laid it all to rest with, "It is anomalous to replace the four-dimensional continuum by a five-dimensional one and then subsequently to tie up artificially one of those five dimensions in order to account for the fact that it does not manifest itself." - Einstein to Paul Ehrenfest. Just think what Einstein would have said about entire parallel universes/muliverses/landscapes we cannot see! No wonder Carroll et al. hath exiled Einstein! For his simple majesty gets in teh way of their hundreds, upon hunders of pages of snarky insider handwaving, bolstered by pseudoscience blogrolls and twitter accounts. With an heroic spirit, MDT takes us back to origin of modern physics-- to the original papers on relativity and QM, and it humbles itself upon that mountaintop. And when it comes on down, off the shoulders of relativity and QM's giants, MDT presents us with a fundamental view of reality that conforms to all experimental evidence, while not only resolving the paradoxes of the non-locality of the EPR effect and seemingly frozen time in Godel's block universe, but also unifying the resolution of both physical curiosities within a simple physical postulate--the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions, or dx4/dt = ic. In a sense, this is the first theory to predict QM's nonlocality and entanglement, by postulating that the fourth dimension is inherently nonlocal via its expansion--an empirical fact that the timeless, ageless, nonlocal photon agrees with, as the photon surfs the fourth expanding dimension. And not only does MDT predict this, but it also provides a *physical* model for entropy and time and all its arrows and assymetries throughout all realms. And finally, all of relativity may be derived from MDT's simple postulate, as it is in my paper--the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions--dx4/dt = ic. A postulate and an equation representing a novel *physical* feature of our universe--a fourth expanding dimension--and the natural, subsequent prediction of all of relativity, qm's nonlocality, entropy, time's arrows and assymetries in all realms, and quantum entanglement. "I don't believe in mathematics." Quoted in Carl Seelig. Albert Einstein. "Do not worry about your difficulties in mathematics, I assure you that mine are greater." --Einstein "Geometry is not true, it is advantageous." --Jules H. Poincare MDT provides both the "elementary foundations" of relativity that Einstein yet sought, and the foundational physical reality underlying and causing quantum nonlocality and entanglement, which Schrodinger labeled the "characteristic trait" of QM. Einstein's Principle of Relativity, as well as his two postulates, derive from MDT's simple physical model and single postulate and equation which is more concise and has the added benefits of providing for free will, liberating us from the block universe, weaving change into the fundamental fabric of space-time for the first time in the history of relativity, and providing an elementary, foundational physical model for time and all its arrows and asymmetries, entropy, and QM's nonlocality and entanglement, as well as reality's probabilistic nature. The fourth dimension is inherently nonlocal via its invariant expansion, which is the source of nonlocality as well as relativity. All of this is more fully developed in Dr. E's 2008 paper on MDT which examines Einstein's 1912 Manuscript on Relativity and derives the Einsteinian/Minkowskian formulation of relativity from MDT's dx4/dt=ic: Time as an Emergent Phenomenon: Traveling Back to the Heroic Age of Physics: fqxi.org/ community/forum/topic/238 & fqxi.org/community/forum/topic/432. Simple, logical proofs of MDT: MDT PROOF#1: Relativity tells us that a timeless, ageless photon remains in one place in the fourth dimension. Quantum mechanics tells us that a photon propagates as a spherically-symmetric expanding wavefront at the velocity of c. Ergo, the fourth dimension must be expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions at the rate of c, in a spherically-symmetric manner. The expansion of the fourth dimension is the source of nonlocality, entanglement, time and all its arrows and asymmetries, c, relativity, entropy, free will, and all motion, change, and measurement, for no measurement can be made without change. For the first time in the history of relativity, change has been wedded to the fundamental fabric of spacetime in MDT. MDT PROOF#2: Einstein (1912 Man. on Rel.) and Minkowski wrote x4=ict. Ergo dx4/dt=ic. MDT PROOF#3: The only way to stay stationary in the three spatial dimensions is to move at c through the fourth dimension. The only way to stay stationary in the fourth dimension is to move at c through the three spatial dimensions. Ergo the fourth dimension is moving at c relative to the three spatial dimensions. MDT twitter proof (limited to 140 characters): SR: photon is stationary in 4th dimension. QM: photon is probability wave expanding @ c. Ergo: 4th dimension expands @ c & MDT: dx4/dt=ic -from http://twitter.com/45surf --fqxi.org/community/forum/topic/511 When history is written, Carroll et al. will have done very little to "popularize" physics, which has ever been best popularized by those heroic souls who brought forth simple, brilliant equations and concepts that are far easier to understand than Carroll's handwaving, oft inscrutable neither-here-nor-there text, which will further serve to exile true physicists from the academy, while attracting and exalting legions of sycophantic fanboys, ready to rage for Sean et al. throughout the blogosphere, so as to keep science free from physical postulates, logic, reason, equations, and empirical reality from here to eternity, so as to further the mere profiteer's regime. Thank goodness their era of physicsnark is coming to an end, replaced by epic, exalted simplicity and beauty represented in simple, timeless postulates and equations underlying time and all its arrows and asymmetries, while also providing a common, deeper, hitherto unheralded *physical* foundation underlying all of relativity, quantum mechanics, and entropy: dx4/dt=ic So let's bring it on back. Let's enjoy the "Fom Eternity to Here" pseudoscience, but let's also bring on back that heroic, exalted spirit which has ever advanced all epic science, art, and philosophy! MDT delivers an ultimate theory underlying Huygens' Principle which Feynman's many-paths formulation of QM also exalts, whereas Loop Quantum Gravity and String Theory only sustain a myth of an ultimate theory and thus perpetual funding. Nobel Laureates have referred to this present era as the dark ages of physics, where progress in physics is frozen in a block universe tied together with tiny, vibrating strings and little loops which nobody has ever physically seen, violating the fundamental maxim of science put forth by Galileo, Einstein, et. al. Feynman echoes the words of the heroic Achilles (whom Socrates referenced while defending philosophy as a virtuous pursuit in the Apology ) in defining science as an honest, honorable pursuit: "As I detest the doorways of death, so too do I detest that man who speaks forth one thing while hiding in his heart another." (Achilles in Homer's Iliad ) The first principle is that you must not fool yourself--and you are the easiest person to fool. ... You just have to be honest in a conventional way after that. . . I would like to add something that's not essential to the science, but something I kind of believe, which is that you should not fool the layman when you're talking as a scientist. . . I'm talking about a specific, extra type of integrity that is not lying, but bending over backwards to show how you are maybe wrong, that you ought to have when acting as a scientist. And this is our responsibility as scientists, certainly to other scientists, and I think to laymen. . . If you're representing yourself as a scientist, then you should explain to the layman what you're doing--and if they don't want to support you under those circumstances, then that's their decision. -Feynman, Cargo Cult Science To me there has never been a higher source of earthly honor or distinction than that connected with advances in science. -Newton Errors are not in the art but in the artificers. -Newton Yes! Physics is yet quite intact! All the best in 2010--from here to eternity!
