Simply stated, a 4th component that combines our 3 dimensional world and it's resultant time distortion into a single continuum.
We tend to define time as the speed at which light travels. However space-time may be something entirely different.
In our world of perception there are points A, B & C. Up, Down and across and also the "time" (speed of light) it takes to get to any of those.
In the world of quantum physics the speed of light is no longer a restrictive component (at least mathematically speaking).
The theory is that life itself (as we are familiar with it) is considered a delusive effect resulting from the relationships between that of A, B and C and our own selves (awareness).
How we interpret time could be little more then a product of those three's interactions. On the other hand suppose that everything is happening at once and our 3D world separates us in some way to make sense of it all.
It's similar to millions of RF waves all being broadcast at the same time. Only when certain perimeters are defined can a signal be picked out from amongst the cacophony and processed in a manner so chosen to make sense. Some become TV. Others radar returns, radio broadcasts, cell phone signals, GPS coordinates, etc.
Let me put this another way. The snow on your TV's audio and screen is the result of every RF wave the receiver is capable of receiving. It's only when the RF is filtered down to conform to the TV's built in logic that it is able to translate that into something our senses can make sense of. Our human brains do the same.
Quantum physics offers us an intriguing question. What if everything that ever was is entirely in the here-and-now exclusively? That everything we think we know is only the resultant reception (perception) of A, B, and C.
For one thing, distance would no longer be an obstacle. Neither would the times of past events be anything other then a illusion. In other words what we refer to as time & distance is limited by our perceptions of them.
Einstein's mathematical equations have proven time (as we measure it) is defined by the interactions between A, B and C. It does account for quantized space-time. While his theory holds correct for the three dimensional universe, it does not take into consideration a fourth dimensional measurement. The space-time element part of the equation.

I could go on endlessly speaking about what this implies regarding metaphysics, space & time travel or even heaven itself. I leave it here, at this point, for readers of this blog to further conjecture the implications of such things for one's self.
"So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them"
For you local history buffs I present a brief part of Dorney Park's history.
While the following videos are entirely edited and narrated by me, I want everyone to know the following videos in their entirety come from the paperback "Images Of America: Dorney Park" published by Arcadia Publishing written by Wally Ely & the late Bob Ott.
It is not my intention in anyway what-so-ever to leave my viewers with the impression that I in anyway profit nor have in any way had a part of the penmanship of the book.
Nor it is my intention to violate the publishers nor authors of this work. I simply enjoyed the book so much that I was inspired to create a video documentary verbatim from the pages of this book.
Think of the following videos as a teaser. I'm only partially presenting three of the chapters of an eight chapter book.
I strongly encourage anyone interested in the history of Dorney Park to go out and buy this totally unique historical book.
Try as I may to avoid politics this one caught my eye. Presidential Candidate Elizabeth Warren said she plans to eliminate student debt on day one by circumventing congress. She plans to do it through an executive order to The Department Of Education. In my opinion she's making a desperate grab for the youth vote. There are several reasons I'm dead set against this. This is what worries me with these progressive candidates. Some are making all kinds of expensive wild promises. I fear instead of drawing votes they will be pushing voters towards Trump getting reelected. What they should be focused on instead is Trump's record and how theirs would differ. Right now I'm not finding a one of these (including Trump) to my liking. The people I'd prefer to see running are too intelligent and moderate in their views to want any part of the job.
Now let's talk about Meghan and Harry. If I were them I'd run as far away as I could from the royal family. Meghan has three things going against her. (1) She doesn't have royalty in her blood. (2) She's not WHITE enough for the British. (3) She's a 'yank' from the states. As a result the British press has been unmerciful in their relentless bashing of her. BORED PANDA has accumulated a number of examples like this one...
15 Headlines Show How Differently The British Press Treat Meghan Markle Vs Kate Middleton
The media keeps pushing the story Meghan is driving Harry away from his family. No the royals did that a long time ago. Let us remember Harry's mother Diana was treated the same way. No matter what she did it was never enough. It was a well known fact husband Charles always carried a flame for Camilla Parker-Bowles. He'd sometimes pay more attention to her then his own wife. So I think it's safe to assume Harry was greatly affected by what happened to his mother. Let us also not forget what happened to his mother. She died in a car crash after the relentlessness pursuit by the press behind the car in which she was riding. The same press who is now dogging his wife.
I think it's quite obvious Harry is extremely close to Meghan and doesn't want to see history repeat itself with what happened to his mother Diana He often said how much it affected him so why wouldn't he (or anyone else) choose his marriage over that of the questionable behavior of the royals.
Some say they feel sorry for the queen. If anyone wants to feel sorry for her be sorry that her second son (Prince Andrew) turned out to be rotten. It should also be noted in 1992 three of the queen's four children ended their marriages. If Harry has any sense it be best he not follow any advice from the queen and get away from this family as far as possible.
Some peoples names have become nouns. Many were remembered in a good way. Others were not so fortunate. Many of these names have become nouns we use almost on a daily basis. To name a few..:
'MICKEY FINN'- Michael Finnish, An American saloon keeper. 'PLATONIC'- Plato, the Greek philosopher. 'RITZY'- The Swiss hotelier, César Ritz. 'DRACONIAN'- Draco a legislator in Athens (around 650 BC). Even minor offenses resulted in death penalties. 'CASANOVA'- Giovanni Jacopo Casanova de Seingalt (Italy). Lover of adventure and women. 'HOOLIGAN'- Patrick Hooligan, an Irish bouncer and thief who lived in the London. 'GERRYMANDER'- Elbridge Gerry, 9th Governor of Massachusetts who died in 1814. The first guy to redraw electoral districts. (5th vice-President under James Madison). He said, "The evils we experience flow from the excess of democracy." Maybe this explains why he did what he did.

According to THE NEW YORK POST-- "Tribune Publishing, the parent company of the Chicago Tribune and the struggling New York Daily News, is offering voluntary buyouts to employees with eight or more years of service".
Course with the turnover at TMC one wonders how many have been there for eight years. Even so they are looking for photo and reporter interns. Wonder if this a paid gig? Whether there'll be someone left with enough experience to make this worthwhile for them?
Repost from January 26, 2013 Although I posted this back then much of this still has yet to come about. Some already have.
The following is purely based on my own conjecture and speculation. At no time have developers stated that the following things I'm suggesting here may come about.
Secure Boot The present Whether people realize it or not, the operating system that makes your system work is licensed to you. Even though you buy a copy and install it, you are only authorized/permitted to use it. You never actually own it.
One of the ways authors assure your abide by their terms is that shortly after you install the operating system, the OS software requires that you go online and obtain a key. This key then permits you to use it beyond 30 days after it's initial installation. In my own case, Windows is my OS.
As I stated above, nobody at Microsoft ever said they intended to do business differently. This is my own conjecture as to the possibilities of what they could be capable of requiring in the future.
Suppose after 365 days your software required that your renew, with a paid subscription, for it's continued use?The next generation, Windows 8 The Future Windows 8 is adding another feature called secure boot. The reason stated for incorporating it in the next edition is because of hackers.
Currently when you update or download software you will note that it requires a restart. This is so software apps or updates can install properly.
What can also happen after you visit a hacked site or viewed/downloaded an infected email file, it can embed itself so the next time you boot up, unbeknownst to you, it installs some really nasty malware before your virus protection or the windows operating system loads. This is one way hackers can avoid detection.
Malware can do just about anything behind your back. Things like recording your passwords and user ID to corrupting or even transmitting your personal files. Some can even wipeout your entire computer and create a situation you can't recover from w/o a full clean re-install.
This is where the secure boot comes in. 'Secure boot' would require encrypted keys to be loaded before all else.
Where would these keys be stored? Boot Order: (1) They could potentially require that keys be embedded in the firmware of all your hardware devices from the manufacturer. (2) The next up would come the keys for the OS (operating system) itself (Windows) and I'm assuming your virus protection software. (3) Anything after that would come under the scrutiny of Windows itself, then your viral protection software. If these two items determined maleware was trying to install itself, they would block it.
This offers almost complete protection against viral software sneaking an installation before all your protections are in place and not having a chance to review them first.
Here's the downside to all of that. Let us suppose (my own conjecture) that Microsoft decided to make their Windows operating system a subscription service? One which you paid fees to use.
What if you had to pay extra monthly to use it. Maybe even extra for each person who creates a user ID before the OS would even load?
If they ever went to pay-go system, do you see how easily your computer could become a 'brick' if you fail to subscribe?Currently computers use firmware instructions before they boot called BIOS (Basic Input/Output System). It's usually stored some where on the motherboard by the manufacturer.
This would be replaced with the system I described above. Not only the motherboard but each component also could be required to embed a key that unlocks each of them. They currently do not do that.
So it is possible that even hardware manufactures could create subscriptions to use even their own products. Graphic cards, Sound cards, router, etc.
One may ask, how can they do that if it's firmware? Well manufacturers already create updates for their firmware. Just suppose they lease the key for a year instead. Then when it expired, unless you pay for a firmware update for it's continued usage, it would 'brick' out.
Future releases of word editors, spreadsheet and tons of others will no longer reside on your computer. The selling point is you would never again have to worry about updating or worry about viruses infecting that software. It would already be taken care of for you at the server where you go to make use of them.
My conjecture. What if developers would then also decide to charge a subscription fee for it's use? What too if they gain access to the files you were working on? The Wrap Up It would be a sorry day if I had to pay fees for all the software, hardware and the operating system itself. Rather then pay a half dozen fees to avoid 'bricking' my computer, I like buying my own software and installing it. It's not that they can't create 'crippleware' already.
The big deal here is this 'secure boot'. This potentially could not only affect the operating system itself, but possibly all your computer components as well. That takes it to a whole new level.
EXAMPLES Of CRIPPLEWARE:Personally I would hate to see the day come when our computers become an extension of these. But you can see (via the examples above) where all this is headed.
Everything is taken one step at a time. Folks have bought into those items I've mentioned. This sends a strong signal to developers that folks already have expressed a willingness to pay for their usage. Why not computers they bought and paid for as well?
Extra Read: Several years back one of our mechanics went down to the shop with a broken part which shut down production. For every minute the department was down it cost the company $300 for the loss in manufactured product alone (not including labor).
The company I worked for rented a lathe that used specially designed software to make that critical part. He loaded up the software, just as he had always done before.. NOTHING!
So the company called in the service tech from the manufacturer. He couldn't fly in for two days. At $300 a minute it was costing the company well over $800,000 in lost production. That does not include the OT it would require to make up for the lost manufacturing time. Nor the orders for our product that were cancelled because we couldn't deliver on time.
The service rep gets there and in less then 10 minutes has the problem nailed down. "I see you didn't renew the subscription for the design software on this lathe." The company I worked for assumed that by renting the lathe monthly everything was included. The tech explained the machine is theirs. The software is not.
Within minutes the lathe was back up and running, but not until the company renewed their very expensive subscription (online).
