When we have a wave in 3D space,
∂2ψ∂t2=c2∂2ψ∂x2
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,
∂2ψ∂x2=c2t∂2ψ∂t2
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
∂x∂t=1(∂t∂x)
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?
