What's not short about my posting? I just finished an 800 page book,
which must have influenced my judgment of length (in bytes!).
How come no one has seen fit to comment on my suggestion that the
Universe and the rest of existence (the world) might be embedded in
*something*.
In the book I noted that we may have a few compact dimensions in and
around the nuclei of atoms, say. Is compact a good choice of descriptor?
Are you saying that only the circles of latitude, then, are The Universe?
at different times, of course.
...
Does this mean that the Lorentz transformation will never create
confusion with respect to two circles of latitude as to which is closer
to the North Pole, i.e., which is earlier and which is later?
I was not
aware of a *cosmic* time parameter. Also, the term co-moving coordinates
is new to me. If I meant two coordinate systems moving with respect to
one another, I would have said so ;-)
If the Lorentz transformation does
not prevent establishing a cosmic time parameter, why do not the two
observers traveling at 0.9c w.r.t. each other determine contemporaneity
by means of it and dispense with their disagreement as to which event
occurred first? If they cannot, how can anyone else?
If no one can,
why should we accept such an anti-phenomenological concept in these
post-Copenhagenist times? After all, everyone is moving respect to
something.
