Had a strange thought at dinner wrt C and photons, I may be stating the obvious
in my own working man's terms but here it is. Time is a real dimension mediated
by virtual particles. Regardless of what rate these particles intersect with
our 3D plane, we will perceive this rate as C, like a child's zip car our
clocks turn at whatever rate the zip cord is pulled thru our plane [inertial
frames]. What we consider stationary is the balance point where the physical
plane comes into existence where subatomic particles form the periodic table
and the almost stable form the radioactive elements [neo Puthoff view of the
vacuum]. The balance is between displacement of virtual particles along the
temporal vs spatial axis - We say that time and space ARE 90 degreees apart but
IMHO this is only true for the small percentage of VP that persist in our plane
as physical matter like the canoe stuck in a waterfall - the rest of the vp
form the ether stream that continues to rush past and hold these building
blocks of the physical locked into our plane. The strange though that occurred
to me was wrt to the photon and it's displacement at C thru our plane.. am I
just rewording the obvious to suggest it is being carried by this VP stream?
That the photon is essential a sail, it can only go forward in time but can
tack equally well across any spatial axis according to it's orientation.
