Summary

"More intellectual curiosity, versatility and yen for physics than Elliot McGucken's I have never seen in any senior or graduate student. . . Originality, powerful motivation, and a can-do spirit make me think that McGucken is a top bet.” Dr. John Archibald Wheeler, Princeton University’s Joseph Henry Professor of Physics

AT LONG LAST, TIME’S FOUNDATIONAL, UNIFYING SECRETS REVEALED!

Join Dr. E on a fantastic journey on towards the hitherto unsung secrets of time, whence time's arrows and asymmetries across all realms are exalted and unified via the novel physical principle of a fourth expanding dimension. The principle also naturally gives us all of relativity and quantum mechanics.

LTD Theory liberates us from the frozen block universe while granting us free will. As this book's epic journey spans time’s far-ranging presence throughout all of physics, it naturally includes forays to the edges of multiple frontiers including relativity, space-time diagrams, entropy, the second law of thermodynamics, cosmological time, and the quantum. Wherever time flows, this book goes, ultimately demonstrating that all notions of time are yet unified by a simple, physical principle.

Time throughout all realms--from quantum mechanics, to relativity, to the second law of thermodynamics, to psychological time, to cosmological time--are all unified via a deeper physical reality. Relativity and quantum entanglement are both shown to spring from this very same foundational reality which also exalts time.

There exist many books which promise deep insights into the “physics of time.” But none of them deliver anything in the way of an actual physical mechanism powering and driving time and all its arrows and asymmetries. Unlike this book, none of them give a deeper, causal apparatus for time's flow throughout all realms.

Sadly, all too many prominent physicists use the misconstrued “Block Universe” interpretation of relativity as a sledgehammer to try and deny time. They go so far as to even deny time’s obvious arrows and its constant, one-way flow. They deny any difference between the past, present, and future.

Well, Light Time Dimension Theory acknowledges and celebrates time in all her glory. Beginning with a simple principle, this book exalts all that is known about time’s arrows in relativity and quantum mechanics, the steady increase of entropy, the second law of thermodynamics, and relativity. LTD Theory agrees with the Standard Model and all observable physics. And LTD defines time thusly:

Time: Time and all its arrows and asymmetries are defined by irreversible physical occurrences resting upon and driven by the expansion of the fourth dimension relative to the three spatial dimensions at the rate of c, as given by dx4/dt=ic.

The Principle of LTD Theory: The fourth dimension is expanding at the rate of c relative to the three spatial dimensions.

Throughout the rugged, exalted book, we will celebrate the far-ranging, physical unifications of this simple, physical model. We will use the simple principle to exalt a wide range of physical mechanisms and commonsense explanations for time and all its arrows and asymmetries, from quantum probability, nonlocality, and entanglement, to relativistic time dilation and length contraction, to the equivalence of mass and energy, to the second law of thermodynamics, to dark energy and the vacuum energy, to so very much more!

In physics and photography alike, award-winning physicist Dr. E has always chased the light. Dr. E received the Judith Resnik Memorial Scholarship which helped him attend Princeton University to study physics. Dr. E’s Ph.D. research on an artificial retina for the blind, titled Multiple Unit Artificial Retina Chipset to aid the Visually Impaired and Enhanced Holed-Emitter CMOS phototransistors, received several Fight-for-Sight and NSF grants, as well as a Merrill Lynch Innovations award. The technology is now helping the blind see.
