EDITORIAL INFORMATION
Today physics sees time and space as two words
that seem to defy definition. One unique definition for each of these
words will not help to describe the complex nature of time and space.
Further, definitions for time and space require more than seeing how they
interrelate with each other.
One uses different mathematical geometries to describe space.
Understanding these different geometries provides a better approach to
defining both time and space. In the seventeenth century, Euclidean
geometry limited Isaac Newton to a three-dimensional space. Two parallel
lines will never merge epitomizes Euclidean geometry.
In the nineteenth century new geometry evolved. Sometimes called
non-Euclidean, or Riemann geometry, this new geometry applies to space
with more than three dimensions. Einstein used this geometry in his theory
of general relativity. Two parallel lines will merge epitomizes
non-Euclidean geometry.
This book presents a new approach to both time and space. For the first
time, readers will see how Euclidean geometry can describe space with more
than three dimensions. This new approach redefines time into two different
components: a vector of Timespace and a scalar of Universal Time.
Amazing insights result from this new approach. Three-dimensional
projections from four-dimensional Euclidean space can now visually
illustrate time travel. Contraction of Timespace, the fourth physical
dimension, becomes equivalent to Einstein’s time dilation. General
knowledge of Euclidean geometry allows the reader to understand the
complex nature of higher dimensions in a new way.
Readers enjoy a friendly, informative walk into four, and higher,
dimensions of space. New ideas in this book revise conventional physics.
These ideas transform the three-dimensional world of conventional physics
into a four-dimensional physical world.
