"The representation of matter by a tensor was only a fill-in to make it possible to do something temporarily, a wooden nose in a snowman."

Albert Einstein's Last Lecture, Relativity Seminar, Room 307, Palmer Physical Laboratory, Princeton University, April 14, 1954


"In the first place, we entirely shun the vague word "space," of which, we must honestly acknowledge, we cannot form the slightest conception."

Albert Einstein, Relativity: The Special and General Theory, 1920
 

"According to the general theory of relativity space is endowed with physical qualities; in this sense, therefore, there exists an ether. But this ether may not be thought of as endowed with the quality characteristic of ponderable media, as consisting of parts which may be tracked through time."

A. Einstein, Äther und Relativitätstheorie, May 5, 1920

Panta rei conditio sine qua non est


It is suggested that the spacetime is a dynamical entity which is being created in every step of a hypothetical universal time arrow, produced by the "expansion" of space due to the Dynamic Dark Energy (DDE). Two modes of spacetime are postulated in this Phoenix Universe: local mode, in which we have point-like events cast on a perfect continuum, and a global mode, in which the whole universe is being re-created. The holistic effects from the global mode of spacetime begin from the macro-scale of classical physics, in two "directions": quantum effects toward the Small, and dark matter & dark energy effects toward the Large. Thus, we model the universe as a huge brain which 'thinks' with its global (and completely "dark", in the local mode) Holon state by following the rule 'think globally, act locally'. The implications for canonical quantum gravity are examined with great details, by revealing the two modes of spacetime in Quantum Theory and Einstein's General Relativity, and suggesting conceptual solutions to the problems and paradoxes hindering the quantum gravity of He Who Does Not Play Dice.
 


 

Is it logically possible for matter fields to produce their "time", while at the same time evolve in that same time, as in ADM formalism?

Sounds like the familiar story from Baron Munchausen, right?

What if the aether stands ] between [ the points of the underlying manifold?

Are we dealing with three kinds of reality: physical reality, potential reality, and the absolute reality of the Aristotelian First Cause?

NB:
The only way to produce a 'moving now' is by enabling the 3-D space to 'move' as well.

If you are curious about the arrow of spacetime -- welcome aboard!
