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

7 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.”inertial

8 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.speed of light v is the speed, this formula actually is only correct when v 1 and v 2 are in the same direction, velocity addition formulae.velocity addition formulae

9 Speed of light, fastest speed c=by definition=299795458 (exact) m/s

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

11 Newton’s Universal Law of Gravity F 12 is the force on object 2 due to object 1. G is the gravitational constant.gravitational constant m 1 and m 2 are respectively the masses of objects 1 and 2. r 21 = |r 2 − r 1 | is the distance between objects 2 and 1. is the unit vector from object 1 to 2.unit vector

12 G, Newtonian constant of gravitation G=6.673(10) × 10 -11 m 3 kg -1 s -2 measured

13 Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, a theory of GravityGeneral Theory of Relativityravity

14 Spherically Symmetric Vacuum Solution to General Relativity Invariant ds 2 in spherical coordinates

15 BlackBlack Hole Radius, Schwartzshield Radius Schwartzshield Radius R s Schwartzshield Radius G Newtonian Gravitational Constant M Mass causing curvature c speed of light

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

17 Speed = frequency wavelength tautology λ is the wavelength f is the frequency c is the wave speed, speed of light in a vacuum here.

18 Planck’s Law h is Planck’s constant, energy time Quantum Mechanics

19 h, Planck constant h=6.62606876(52)×10 -34 J s (measured) J=Joules = kg m 2 s -2 (Energy SI unit) ħ=h/(2π)=1.054571596(82)×10 -34 J s some times called the Dirac Constant

20 Substituting things and solving for the wavelength

21 Substituting things and solving for the frequency T is the period of oscillation

22 (Gh/(2  c 5 )) 1/2 =5.3905x10 -44 s  t P the Planck time, a chronon, smallest time, quanta of time, when! Time is quantitized at this level, so called “third quantitization.” Planck time (Gh/(2  c 3 )) 1/2 =1.6160x10 -35 m  l P the Planck length, an extention, smallest length, quanta of distance, where! Space is quantitized at this level, so called “third quantitization.” Planck length

23 History of Planck length, time, and mass In 1899 a year before he formulated blackbody radiation in December of 1900 in Prussian Academy of Sciences.

24 46x10 9 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:universeobservable universe 13.7x10 9 years/t P *4  /3*(46x10 9 light-years/l P ) 3 =6.6x10 245.
