Hi Dick

Yes, of course the Kepler problem is static and so doesn't involve momenta. In my bottom up approach, I use a static model also, reasoning that space and time are the same thing at the Planck scale, so the geometry of space should also serve to describe the geometry of time. It may just be coincidence, but I think not, that the cartesian description of space and the hexagonal description of time both fit into the Kepler stack very nicely.

My sense is that extending the Kepler stack by layering additional spheres, and investigating the surface patterns formed in the resulting static construction, and then displaying the resulting surface patterns sequentially along a time line normal to the surface such that each consecutive surface is a consecutive instant of time, we may be able to show the appearance of movement, much like is done in cinema. My idea is that the movement would be similar to Feynman diagrams, except that the view would be from the z axis (where z is the same as time), rather than from an x or y axis, and would show a moving picture of events on the surface of the expanding object. The 2d view screen would display the x and y axis of the surface, while the viewer would hover over the changing surface much like Smolin's ship hovers over the event horizon of a black hole.

In my view, the analogy to Smolin's ship is a good one, since every "point" or "object" in space is expanding, and when we look at any object, or event, we see exactly the surface or 2d screen, just as in the holographic theory, with the addition of the idea that the process is not just one of surfaces of black holes, but literally is the time sense we see in every object and event process around us, every observation of any system.

The 3d construct we make by moving around and comparing image histories is created by the Unruh effect, that is, when we move, we accellerate, so changing the group of particals and photons we percieve. The change is very slight, since we normally move at such a small fraction of C, so the space we construct appears to be continuous.

Thanks,

Richard
