Relativists allege that a 2D plane moving through the ‘dimension’ of time scans and thus ‘constructs’ a 3D object. Thus it is that a 3D solid moving through or growing in time paints a 4D space-time. The following ‘gedanken’ experiment refutes both these claims. Al’s doughnut is a film, not a still photograph! |
I didn't dare look at myself in a mirror with my hair looking like this, Bill. God! How awfully frightful! And I said to myself, like, what would my friend Al do in this case? So I eventually figured out through reasoning that I carry a sphere around my head by calculating its volume. |
