The field of normals and comoving coordinates

The field of normals and comoving coordinates.

In the new theory, which is called the 3D-brane universe model, there is a special infinite family of 3D-branes (see 3D-branes in thespace-time). It turns spacetime into a 3D brane foliation. Each brane in this foliation corresponds to a specific instant in the evolution of the universe. Only one of the branes corresponds to the current instant, that is, the instant of the present. It is that very brane that has the prototype in the form of the real three-dimensional physical universe in its current state. The remaining branes correspond to past states of the universe that have ceased to exist, and its future states that have not yet formed.

Let us choose at each point of each 3D-brane the vector of unit length perpendicular to the brane and directed towards the future. Such vectors form the vector field of unit normal vectors to the branes.

 

Each vector field has integral curves. This is a mathematical fact. Integral curves of a vector field are curves whose tangent vectors at each point are directed along the vectors of the vector field. In our case the integral curves of the field of unit normal vectors to the branes fill the entire space-time and connect  to each other all of the branes from the 3D-brane foliation.

By choosing x, y, z coordinates on one of the 3D-branes, they can be extended to all other 3D-branes of the foliation along the integral lines of the unit normal vector field. The coordinates x, y, z throughout the space-time obtained in this way are called comoving coordinates. They are usually supplemented with a special fourth coordinate, which is called the brane time t.

How many speeds of light in the new theory?

Ruslan A. Sharipov.  1 ... 5 6 7 ... ru   The new theory here means the theory of gravity which is called “3D-brane model of the universe.” Light is an electromagnetic wave, and electromagnetism has been studied inside and out. There is only one speed of light in it. It is listed first on our list. The new theory also has one single speed of light. But, besides it, the new theory has several other speed constants. The second constant in our list is the speed of gravitational waves. The third one is the limiting speed for baryonic particles. And the fourth one is the limiting speed for non-baryonic particles. Some clarification is required here. In particle physics, baryons are particles composed of quarks and antiquarks with the baryon number equal to +1 or -1. In astrophysics and in the theory of gravity, a broader interpretation of this term is used. Baryons or baryonic matter here refers to all visible matter i.e. the matter that can absorb or emit light or ca

What we take from Einstein?

  Ruslan A. Sharipov. 1 ... 6 7 8 ... ru   The “3D-brane universe model” is the name of a new non-Einsteinian theory of gravity. This theory is based on criticism and denial of the space-time as a material entity. However, it does not deny all the achievements of Einstein's theory and strives to digest and incorporate everything that is possible from Einstein's theory. In this article we analyze the elements of continuity between the two theories. In Einstein's theory gravity is described by a four-dimensional metric. It can be understood as a 4x4 matrix, which is shown in the figure to the left of the arrow. The components of this matrix depend on coordinates and time. Space-time in the new theory is subdivided into a foliation of 3D-branes. Each of these branes corresponds to one of the moments in the evolution of the real three-dimensional universe. The foliation of 3D-branes determines the choice of special coordinates, which are called

Brane time.   Ruslan A. Sharipov 1 ... 3 4 5 ... ru   I have already told that in the new theory, which is called the “3D-brane universe model”, there is a dedicated infinite family of 3D-branes (see 3D-branes in the space-time ). It turns the space-time into a 3D-brane foliation. Each brane in this folation corresponds to a specific instant in the evolution of the universe. Only one of the branes corresponds to the current moment, that is, the instant of the present. It is that very brane thatshe has the prototype in the form of the real three-dimensional physical universe in its current state. The remaining branes correspond to past states of the universe that have ceased to exist, and its future states that have not yet formed.   What is a brane time? This is a numerical function that is constant within each brane of the 3D-brane foliation and increases in the direction from the branes of the past to the branes of the future. In addition to this condition, the brane time functi
