SELFPROOF 0116 - SPACETIME


CURRENT COSMOLOGY MODEL



In physics, spacetime is any mathematical model that combines space and time into a single continuum. Spacetime is usually interpreted with space being three-dimensional and time playing the role of a fourth dimension that is of a different sort from the spatial dimensions. (Wikipedia 28 Mar 2012)



MALTA COSMOLOGY TEMPLATE  

  • The Universe consists of space and teels.  (see Argument 0119)  
  • Space has no properties independent of the properties of the teels within it and is thus nothingness.  (see Argument 0120)  
  • The property measures of the Universe are the sum of the property measures of its teels and teelpairs.  (see Argument 0121)  
  • Teels are subject to the passage of time.  (See Argument 0123)  
  • The Universe is subject to the passage of time because it is made out of teels.  (see Argument 0124)  

COMMENTARY


On the matter of spacetime, the Current Model and the Malta Template descriptions are fundamentally different.
  • In the Current Model, the space and time model is a relativistic four dimensional continuum.
  • In the Malta Template, the space and time model is Euclidean and not a four dimensional continuum.
The results of some observations and experiments suggest that space and time are a continuum, reinforcing the prevailing opinion among physicists is that the relativistic model will be successful in the end. That said, none of the results of the observations and experiments are conclusive in that they are open to alternate interpretations.  

The Malta Template provides a description but it doesn't have an opinion. It is an "evolutionary" model that is only allowed "to play the hand it has". Its hand consists of the known facts, combined with the bare minimum of assumptions. No matter how it is played, the hand does not produce a four dimensional spacetime continuum. Nor, it appears from a cursory examination, would the use of any of the alternate assumptions that are possible. And, tellingly, the hand evolves naturally into the Universe we see about us today without ever needing a four dimensional spacetime continuum.
