Hi Fredrick
I welcome your input but don't accept much of what you say - have you actually read my article?
(1) You could say the aether is the bathwater and our real world the baby - we need both for a TOE. But the analogy is not right because that would mean that the baby springs from the bathwater.
(2) The 3D+T world works well for me and we don't require extra 'dimensions'. We may, however, require extra 'degrees of freedom' to explain the underlying construction - as in string theory.
(3) The aether is fundamental to my TOE.
(4) But 3D+T is not static. The Dance of Shiva is the sound of the clock ticking (the CBR) and it is unreasonable to consider 3D without T as that would be static.
