so dimensions are bullshit, 3d spcae is bullshit becus 1d displacement
cant exist, it will always be in 3d

so space is only 1d not 3d

To Tom

H.G. Wells thought the same thing in 1898 -

"Now, it is very remarkable that this is so extensively overlooked,'
continued the Time Traveller, with a slight accession of cheerfulness.
'Really this is what is meant by the Fourth Dimension, though some
people who talk about the Fourth Dimension do not know they mean it. It
is only another way of looking at Time. There is no difference between
time and any of the three dimensions of space except that our
consciousness moves along it. But some foolish people have got hold of
the wrong side of that idea. You have all heard what they have to say
about this Fourth Dimension?'"

I think most people would dread being found dead reading a sci-fi
novel,how does it feel to live that sci-fi out for real.

You have no idea that a civilisation that lives on insincerity and
wishful thinking will eventually produce a generation that imagines it
is an accomplishment to hold to  such an ideology .In a world full of
big bombs and small people  with your beloved relativistic cartoon
being squeezed out, the intellectual atrophy that a century's worth of
this nonsense has produced  is waiting for people just like you who
imagine clarity where there is only confusion and imagine achievements
where there is only insincerity and pretensiousness.

It was never about being correct or incorrect,it was always about
choices based on astronomy,either Newtonian quasi-geocentric or
relativistic homocentric, and all leading down the road to a festering
mess where one opinion is no better or worse than the next.Either
way,you derive your authority from 1898 and H.G. Wells,sorry !.

Don't be silly Tom.

Our knowledge and undestanding of TIME is pitiful.

Nobody even distinguishes between time 'instant' , time 'interval', and time
'flow'.

We make statements like, "What TIME is it?", "how much TIME did that take?" and
"TIME seems to be going much faster nowadays", without even recognizing the
three distinct meanings of the word TIME in each one.

There must be more than one time subdimension.

Time flows at one second per second, a definition that would be circular
otherwise.

Just as we define the slope of a hill as 3 'up' to every 10 'along' (ie, y/x),
time's rate of movement is t1/t2, etc.

It is all so obvious when the penny drops.

Sometimes I feel like a complete failure.
The most useful thing I have ever done is prove Einstein wrong.
