What We Do Know

When we have a wave in 3D space,

2ψt2=c22ψx2

A valid solution is,

ψ=ψoei(wt+kx)=ψoeiwteikx

where a particle at x=xo experiences eiwt.  As each particle has an exclusive solution to x then each particle experiences t differently.

When we have a wave in 3D time,

2ψx2=c2t2ψt2

A similar solution is,

ψ=ψoei(wx+kt)=ψoeiwxeikt

where a particle in time at t=to experiences eiwx.  As each particle has an exclusive solution to t then each particle experiences x differently.  In this case, time standstill and space x passes by.

If

xt=1(tx)

then,

c=1ct

assuming all space and time dimensions are equivalent, then both wave equations are equivalent.

What if not all space and time dimensions are equivalent?


What if?
