Space-time Invariance and Quantum Gravity By Dr. Harold Williams of Montgomery College Planetarium Title slide

World Lines t for time x for distance dx/dt speed

Space-time At least one space dimension not shown

World lines, sheets, and volumes of particles, strings, and branes We know we live in a universe with at least 3 space dimensions that we have some freedom in. Maybe more elaborate structures exist, but we do not as yet perceive them.

Special Relativity http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_relativity http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_relativity_for_beginners “Nothing but Relativity” by Palash B. Pal shows that only Galilean and Einstein Relativity are even possible with the “Principle of Relativity” “Principle of Relativity” ≡ “Physical laws appear the same to any inertial observer.”

There is a Fastest Speed What ever that fastest speed is nothing can move faster than fastest. c is the fastest speed. Experimentally this, c, is the speed of light, electromagnetic radiation, in a vacuum. v is the speed, this formula actually is only correct when v1 and v2 are in the same direction, velocity addition formulae.

Correct velocity addition formulae for non-colinear velocities http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addition_of_Velocities_Formula

Newton’s Universal Law of Gravity F12 is the force on object 2 due to object 1. G is the gravitational constant. m1 and m2 are respectively the masses of objects 1 and 2. r21 = |r2 − r1| is the distance between objects 2 and 1. is the unit vector from object 1 to 2.

Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, a theory of gravity

Spherically Symmetric Vacuum Solution to General Relativity Invariant ds2 in spherical coordinates http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole

Black Hole Radius, Schwartzshield Radius Rs Schwartzshield Radius G Newtonian Gravitational Constant M Mass causing curvature c speed of light

Einstein’s Energy Mass relationship E is the energy, M is the mass, and c the speed of light

Speed = frequency wavelength tautology λ is the wavelength f is the frequency

Planck’s Law h is Planck’s constant, energy time

Substituting things and solving for the wavelength Wavelength of the smallest wavelength photon

Substituting things and solving for the frequency Frequency of the largest photon Smallest time interval T is the period of oscillation

(Gh/(2c5))1/2=5.3905x10-44st0 the Planck time, a chronon, smallest time, quanta of time, when! Time is quantitized at this level, so called “third quantitization.” (Gh/(2c3))1/2=1.6160x10-35ml0 the Planck length, an extention, smallest length, quanta of distance, where! Space is quantitized at this level, so called “third quantitization.”

46x109 light-years radius of the universe, so an estimate of the current information content, pixels, of the universe, since creation could be made. So here it is the current estimate of the information content of the universe, which is an always increasing number, because time is advancing; we get older and not younger; it’s a one way trip; no time travel allowed (you can not kill your mother before you were conceived); and the observable universe is expanding and accelerating since the creation event: 13.7x109 years/t0*4/3*(46x109 light-years/l0)3 =6.6x10245.
