THE MCGUCKEN PRINCIPLE: THE FOURTH DIMENSION IS EXPANDING AT THE VELOCITY OF LIGHT C: dx4/dt=ic.
PROOF OF LIGHT TIME DIMENSION THEORY’S PRINCIPLE:
1. The magnitude of the velocity of every object through the four dimensions of spacetime is c.
2. The faster an object moves through the three spatial dimensions,
the slower it moves through the fourth dimension.
3. As an object’s velocity approaches c through the three spatial
dimensions, its velocity through the fourth dimension must
approach zero.
4. Ergo light remains stationary in the fourth dimension x4.
5. Thus photons of light track and trace the movement and
character of x4.
6. As light is a spherically-symmetric, probabilistic wavefront
expanding at c, x4 expands at the rate of c in a spherically-
symmetric manner, distributing locality into nonlocality.

PROOF #2 OF LTD THEORY’S PRINCIPLE:
Einstein/Minkowski wrote x4=ict, naturally implying dx4/dt=ic.
GALILEO: In the sciences the authority of thousands of opinions is not worth as much as one tiny spark of reason in an individual man.
Galileo was persecuted for stating that the earth moves around the sun. After being forced to recant his view before the Inquisition, legend has it that he whispered “And yet it moves (E pur si muove”),” as he walked away from his sentencing. And so it is that proposing a hitherto unrecognized motion, such as the motion of the fourth dimension relative to the three spatial dimensions, is a most dangerous and rebellious thing. Thankfully we have formal Logic, Geometry, and Mathematics on our side. And too, we have the empirical observations spanning physical phenomena in quantum mechanics, relativity, the second law of thermodynamics, and time and all its arrows and asymmetries.

The Foundational Physics Unifying Einstein’s Relativity and Quantum Mechanics
A Simple, Illustrated Introduction to the Physical Model of the Fourth Expanding Dimension
John Archibald Wheeler: “More intellectual curiosity, versatility and yen for physics than Elliot McGucken’s I have never seen in any senior or graduate student. . . Originality, powerful motivation, and a can-do spirit make me think that McGucken is a top bet. “(J.A. Wheeler, Princeton Joseph Henry Professor of Physics)
Albert Einstein: A theory is the more impressive the greater is the simplicity of its premises (dx4/dt=ic), the more different are the kinds of things it relates (relativity, the quantum, time, the second law of thermodynamics, dark matter, dark energy, entanglement) and the more extended the range of its applicability.

PREFACE
Aristotle: All men suppose that what is called wisdom deals with the first causes and the principles of things. — Aristotle in Metaphysics
Nobel Laureate Albert Szent-Györgyi: Scientific discovery consists of seeing what everyone else has seen, but thinking what no one else has thought.
In the pursuit of first principles and the hitherto unsung physical cause of relativity, time, and quantum mechanics, LTD Theory again exalts Einstein’s two pillars of Western Science — logic and experiment. That which the fiat-debt-funded multimillionaire multiverse maniacs and failed string theorists demolished and deconstructed are resurrected in this book. That which the builders of braneworlds cast aside became the keystone for this humble tome. That which the false suitors dismissed and exiled are celebrated via a glorious “Return of the King” story culminating in the triumph of LTD Theory — a foundational, physical model built upon simple, elegant, logical proofs coupled with rational empiricism.
Albert Einstein: The development of Western Science is based on two great achievements, the invention of the formal logical system (in Euclidean geometry) by the Greek philosophers, and the discovery of the possibility to find out causal relationships by systematic experiment (Renaissance).
Throughout these books, McGucken’s simple LTD Sphere explains Feynman’s, Bohr’s, and Young’s double slit experiments in a simple, intuitive manner.
As illustrated in the sphere centered upon Huygens’ candle above, the fourth dimension expands at the rate of c, carrying photons while fathering time and all its arrows and asymmetries, relativity, and quantum nonlocality, entanglement, and probability — all unified via dx4/dt=ic.
Bohr and Einstein debating the quantum in 1925.
At long last, LTD Theory unites the quantum and relativity in a simple, physical model born of my Princeton days working with Bohr’s student, Einstein’s colleague, and Feynman’s teacher — the late J.A. Wheeler.
PROOF THAT THE FOURTH DIMENSION x4 IS
EXPANDING AT THE VELOCITY OF LIGHT: dx4/dt=ic
As Hermann Weyl noted, all of relativity may be derived from the Minkowski Spacetime metric given by the fourth expanding dimension dx4/dt=ic, whence our coordinates of spacetime become x1, x2, x3, x4 where x4=ict.
The McGucken Principle: The fourth dimension is expanding at the rate of c relative to the three spatial dimensions.
The McGucken Equation: dx4/dt=ic
The McGucken Postulate: The constancy of the velocity of light c is set via the expansion of the fourth dimension.
Proof of Light Time Dimension Theory’s Principle: The fourth dimension is expanding at the rate of c relative to the three spatial dimensions, as given by Einstein’s x4=ict which means exactly this: dx4/dt=ic
