Dear Nobody & Michael:
It seems the mathematical and comprehensive solution is already manifest.
("
If g = ma, and e = mad, is it fair to say that gravity equals time and energy equals spacetime?" Indeed, Nobody, mathematics is not my forte, but, why not; as you say?)
The status quo perception seems to oscillate between denial and non-recognition of what is already known but continues to be rejected and/or unrecognized.
An example of the combination of both of these factors is proffered by P. D. Ouspensky, whose anticipation of the finding (recognition) of a 4th dimension is dramatically overstated...
in his NEW MODEL OF THE UNIVERSE. Excerpts from an entire chapter entitled The 4th Dimension, follow. Ouspensky sets an example of being so near and yet so far...
“It is difficult to describe even approximately the significance which the discovery of the 4th perpendicular in our Universe would have for our knowledge. The conquest of the air. Hearing and seeing at a distance establishing connections with other planets (May we start with establishing connections on this planet?) or with other solar systems; all of this is nothing compared with the discovery of a new dimension.”
Ouspensky continues:
“But so far it ('the discovery of a new dimension') has not been made ."
What We Must Do, continued:
“We must recognize that we are helpless before the riddle of the 4th dimension, and we must try to examine the problem within the limits accessible to us.” - P.D. Ouspensky, Chapter: THE 4TH DIMENSION, in the title: A NEW MODEL OF THE UNIVERSE. p. 68
*With due respect, sir: How about a drop in the bucket? http://www.spaceandmotion.com/help/introduction-physics-philosophy-metaphysics-space.htm
4-D accelerating expansion to macrocosmic infinity.
All the answers are there, looking up at the observer - ut infra, ut supra - not caring a ripple if the accelerating solutions therein are recognized or not...
The larger a given system becomes, the faster it expands, the larger it gets, ad infinitum. The same amount of energy distributed over an increasingly greater space, with no contradiction of the law of conservation of mass-energy. For an even more detailed documentary of the remarkably employed Art Of Missing The 4-Dimensional Point, refer pages 69 thru 97 in P.D. Ouspensky’s A NEW MODEL OF THE UNIVERSE. This is a very well written and illustrated book and chapter (The 4th Dimension), by a deservedly esteemed and dedicated author - well worth reading. Ouspensky exemplifies and dramatizes the standard refusal to recognize what is proven - over-ruling results of objective experiment and mathematics with subjective misunderstandings.
