Space-Time Physics

All basic physics ideas are simple and amenable to the educated lay person, and to all physicists. Those basic physics ideas presented here are not an exception. Thus, this book may be very interesting to all educated persons, but very particularly, to all physicist who care about daring and potentially revolutionary, speculative ideas in physics.

The theory presented here is based on a general conclusion  that motion, particularly rotation, is the most fundamental and universal physical phenomenon in nature: and that there exist a universal "rotation", spin, which for heavenly bodies is a normal rotation in the normal four dimensional physics space, one dimension of time and three of space, known as four-space; but for subatomic particles other non conventional spaces must be used in order to explain the same phenomenon. The space used is a function space, that is, a space where every dimension is on itself a function of the physical four-space. A logical alternative is to explore a more general physical space-time, we shall call it SPACE-TIME, where non conventional rotations can occur.

The following ten postulates are the basis for further development of the theory. As most theoretical physics postulates, at first glance, they may seem rare or even absurd. But through the different chapters of the book the reader will find that they are based upon well known physics.

POSTULATES

1. The only physically, fundamental thing in nature is SPACE-TIME.
2. Space and time are equivalent manifestations of SPACE-TIME.
3. If there is (or is not) a possibility of a return in space, then there is (or is not) that possibility in time.
4. In our material world space has three clear and evident dimensions, therefore, fallowing postulate #2,  time has three dimensions.
5. In our material world there seems to exist only one dimension of time. We call this a preferred direction (or dimension) of time. Then, by symmetry, there should be a preferred direction of space.
6. Space rotations exist in all manifestations of the material world, then time rotations should also exist.
7. In our material world space-time seems to be three dimensional in space and one preferred dimension in time. Then, by symmetry, there should exist another manifestation of the universe in which space-time must seem to be three dimensional in time and one preferred dimension in space.
8. By postulate # 7, physical SPACE-TIME consists of our material space-time that has three clear and evident dimensions of space and three of time, one of which is preferred; and a dual space-time where time behaves like space, and space like time, that has three clear and evident dimensions of time and three of space, one of which is preferred. Therefore, the physical SPACE-TIME has twelve dimensions.
9. In our material world, motion is defined as the variation of a space dimension on a time dimension, then a generalized motion is a variation of any one dimension on another.
10. All manifestations of the universe can be represented as generalized motion on the twelve dimensional SPACE-TIME; space-time and its dual space-time.

Of the above ten postulates the first and the last are the strongest and basic ones:

    1.- The only physically, fundamental thing in nature is SPACE-TIME.

  10.- Al manifestations of the universe can be represented as generalized motion on a twelve dimensional SPACE-TIME.

The meaning of these postulates is that all physics is actually kinematics in a generalized SPACE-TIME. Therefore, when developed to its maximum expression this will be a revolution in physics.
