Book Description
The Imagineer's Chronicles Vol 2 - 2011 is a compilation of articles published bi monthly elaborating on the theoretical ideas contained in its companion book "The Reality of Four Spatial Dimensions".Common sense sometimes gives a false indication of reality. As a result, the "reality" of other truths go unnoticed.For example, many people of the fifteenth century believed the earth was flat, even though they could see the circular shadow of the earth moving across the moon during a lunar eclipse.However, Christopher Columbus along with many educated people of that time realized this to be an indication that the earth might be spherical.He trusted both his intellect and his senses more than the conventional wisdom of the time and sailed to a new world of knowledge and understanding.Similarly the book "The Reality of the Fourth *Spatial* Dimension" shows how one can by observing his or her environment gain a better understanding of the reality of our world.Quantum mechanics and Einstein's Relativistic Theories have been the most successful scientific theories of modern times however; attempts to unify them and define "A Theory of Everything" have been unsuccessful.This is because there exists an incompatibility between the microscopic universe described by quantum mechanics and the macroscopic one described by Einstein's theories.Einstein's theories define the macroscopic universe in terms of the existence of a continuous space-time metric while quantum theories define the microscopic world of particles in terms of discontinuous units.Therefore, these two theories are inherently incompatible because the universe cannot be both continuous and discontinuous at the same time. However, the book "The Reality of the Fourth *Spatial* Dimension" demonstrates that one can derive a common mechanism for both the relativistic properties of space and time and the quantum mechanical properties of momentum and position in terms of a continuous non-quantized field of energy/mass and four *spatial* dimensions instead of four dimensional space-time. Chapter one defines space in terms of four *spatial* dimensions and a continuous field of energy/mass.Chapter two derives the quantum mechanical properties of energy/mass in terms of discrete energies associated with resonant "structures" formed in a continuous non-quantized field of energy/mass. Chapter three derives the wave properties of particles in terms resonant system or structure formed by oscillations of a matter wave moving on a continuous "surface" of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension. Therefore, they provide a bridge between their discontinuous or quantum mechanical and wave properties in terms of a continuous non-quantized field of energy/mass and four *spatial* dimensions.Later the relativistic properties of space and time and the equivalence between gravity and accelerated reference frames will be derived terms of the geometry of four *spatial* dimensions.This suggests that redefining the physical structure of the universe as was done is done in that book may enable physicists to define a common unifying mechanism responsible for both the quantum mechanical and relativistic properties of our universe. The Imagineer's Chronicles is not meant to define the answers to questions raised there. Instead it is meant to give the scientific community the specific information and experimental techniques required to either verify or falsify it contents. It relies less on mathematics and more on conceptual logic and thought experiments (much like Albert Einstein did) to show how one can predict all modern observations by extrapolating the rules defining classical three-dimensional space to a fourth spatial dimension. The universe's most powerful enabling tool is not knowledge or understanding but imagination because it extends the reality of one's environment.
