Physicists lost reality in Mathematics
a)
1905 - Einstein involved negative time in* SRT
( nobody knew what negative time really was)
b)
1908 - Minkowski* said that Einstein's* equations look ''ugly''
And he gave beautiful mathematical* solution changing
Einstein's ''ugly'' negative time into a positive time.
Minkowski* explained his solution as a* ''space-cone''
Today professors say to students:
''you cannot be physicists if you don't understand* Minkowski's
beautiful mathematical solution''*
( but nobody explains* what ''space-cone''* or 4-D* really is )
c)
Then in 1919* Kaluza and* O.Klein* involved* 5-D
And* in 1969* ''string''- physicists involved 11-D, 27-D, M-D*
These* super - D* have never been observed, but physicists believe
that they are on the right way
You cannot do more complex arithmetic if you don't know what* 2+2 = 4
and if you don't know what 4-D really* is,* then more complex dimensions
are only* mathematical play for mathematicians
====
a) Classic view: dimension = direction
There are Descartes' three dimensions in space as
three directions in space. The point where all directions
are united shows place where object is.
We don't need more dimension, 3-D is enough to solve problem.
Looking on watch we know at what time object was in this point.
b) Minkowskki view:
there are four dimensions in space as four direction in space
but this ''space'' is not ordinary, it is very specific - '' an absolute spacetime''.
In this ''absolute spacetime'' we don't know the point and time
where object is exactly
