One thing we do know, it will require a different approach to <a href="https://c.im/tags/time" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>time</span></a> &amp; dynamics, for at least one of the discrepant models on the table. Regardless of whether or not any of us have a better solution, GR's combining of space &amp; time plus use of curvature of 4D is putting time on each spatial dimension. Are they independent? It depends. </p><p>For what reason would they be included, if not to have specific instances where they were needed to be calculated separately? There's a lot of translation/transforming between "every day physics" and GR; momentum &amp; stress tensors, etc. Other work has shown that the curvature is not required in the way postulated by GR. There are also other geometries, <a href="https://c.im/tags/symmetries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>symmetries</span></a>, manifolds, etc. In SR, there's a 10D Poincare group, which includes 4 spacetime translations. The reality is, that physicists jump back &amp; forth between models based on context &amp; convenience. Euclidean 4D (3+1) is not the same as Minkowski 4D.</p><p>There are different types of mass, from context, and I'd argue the same holds for Time. (I'm happy to expound..)</p><p>At any rate, time dilation &amp; length contraction work together in all directions, to satisfy the conflict between individual perception (I'd argue that conscious observers anthropocentrically use a Cartesian coordinate system centered on themselves) and a consistency of explanatory power of the model, for all frames of reference. There would be fewer problems if we only had to contend with mass &amp; gravity, but <a href="https://c.im/tags/SR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SR</span></a> is based around light, so conflicts with <a href="https://c.im/tags/QM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>QM</span></a> cannot be avoided.</p><p>The velocity 4 vector in GR uses dt for dx, dy, and dz. In SR, this 4-velocity cannot be defined, as the 'proper time' between events (d\_tau) is zero. QM has to input time to 3D, and doesn't even have a position operator for the photon. The list of differences goes on, of course, but I think this is enough to resolve the disagreement at hand. All of these things are just ways we try to measurably explain events/interactions between objects/observers.</p>

I'll be checking the leads you gave, in order to better frame this idea. Thanks again!</p>
