What is wrong with what I have said? Any examples for us? I don't have any philosophy thrown in there except possible ramifications of what I'm saying, which are absolutely meaningless one way or the other. That was just for fun.

Honestly, many of the things that are described in physics are theoretical, especially when you get to quantum theory and many of the stranger and cutting edge branches of it such as string theory et al. Since most of the things that are tossed around are either based solely on the cause or solely on the effect, many are unproven in any form. Basically, what I threw out was something to explain both the cause and the effect. The fact that it flies in the face of some of the aforementioned unproven and derivative fringe physics shouldn't be of concern .... Now, if I was to start denying PROVABLE things that would be a different matter.

I am an avid collector of information on all subjects, particularly physics. I am also a "WHY" type person rather than a "WHAT" type person. It's nice to be able to describe a what a phone is, but I want to know how the bugger works. What I proposed was just a way to explain on a macroscale my way of reckoning ... and nothing I stated flies in the face of any PROVABLE or relatively DEMONSTRABLE cause AND effect based experimentation, but goes a long way toward explaining many of the unexplained mysteries around us.

I'm not telling you to believe me. This idea of mine has evolved for a long time building upon the things I learn, and occassionally I hit an impasse. I don't ignore real science. I don't pick and choose what I want to fit my beliefs like (for example) religious people: I try to make everything PROVABLE fit ... because I'm a "WHY" person.

If you don't like it, fine ... it doesn't bother me one bit. I do wish, however, that someone could provide a better view or theory (that doesn't include omniscient magical dieties that decide whether or not Notre Dame wins football games) or at least explain why it's wrong rather than just say "j00 SuX0rzzzz!!!11!!11!!!!!!1ONE!~!

Believe me: if you can do that, I'm all ears, man.

I'm not talking about the matter itself stretching as it effects d3, I'm talking about its affect as viewed from a d4 perspective. Naturally, it is in one place and one piece from our perspective, since it must (one object can not be in two places at one time simultaneously, and it won't streak out like in star trek due to laws that prevent that sort of hollywood behavior), but in a time perspective, it IS in two places at once, though in our perception we can not see the effects as they happen ... just the end results.
