How the McGucken Principle of the Fourth Expanding Dimension (dx₄/dt = ic) Accounts for the Standard Model’s Broken Symmetries, Time’s Arrows and Asymmetries, and Much More
From a single geometric postulate — one physically real dimension expanding perpendicular to the three spatial dimensions at the rate of c — every broken symmetry, every arrow of time, and the deepest structures of physics all follow as theorems. “More intellectual curiosity, versatility and yen for physics than Elliot McGucken’s I have never seen…

The McGucken Principle of a Fourth Expanding Dimension (dx₄/dt = ic) as a Candidate Physical Mechanism for Jacobson’s Thermodynamic Spacetime, Verlinde’s Entropic Gravity, and Marolf’s Nonlocality Constraint (And So Much More)
Dr. Elliot McGucken Light, Time, Dimension Theory elliotmcguckenphysics.com “More intellectual curiosity, versatility and yen for physics than Elliot McGucken’s I have never seen in any senior or graduate student. Originality, powerful motivation, and a can-do spirit make me think that McGucken is a top bet. He could and did, and wrote it all up in…

The McGucken Principle as the Completion of Kaluza–Klein: How dx4/dt = ic Reveals the Dynamic Character of the Fifth Dimension and Unifies Gravity, Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, Thermodynamics, and the Arrow of Time
Dr. Elliot McGucken elliotmcguckenphysics.com — Light Time Dimension Theory April 2026 Abstract Kaluza (1921) and Klein (1926) demonstrated that Einstein’s general relativity and Maxwell’s electromagnetism could be unified by extending spacetime from four to five dimensions, with the fifth dimension compactified at an unobservably small radius. The Kaluza–Klein framework was the first successful geometric unification in…

A Derivation of Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation from the McGucken Principle of the Fourth Expanding Dimension dx4/dt=ic
Dr. Elliot McGucken A Derivation of Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitationfrom the McGucken Principle of the Fourth Expanding Dimension Dr. Elliot McGucken Light Time Dimension Theory — elliotmcguckenphysics.com April 2026 Abstract We derive Newton’s law of universal gravitation — specifically its inverse square dependence on distance — from the McGucken Principle, which states that the fourth dimension x4 of…

The McGucken Principle (dx₄/dt = ic) as the Physical Foundation of General Relativity: An Enhanced Treatment with Explicit Derivations, the ADM Formalism, Gravitational Waves, Black Holes, and the Semiclassical Limit
Dr. Elliot McGuckenLight, Time, Dimension Theoryelliotmcguckenphysics.com Abstract The McGucken Principle — that every point of the fourth dimension x₄ expands spherically at the fixed invariant rate dx₄/dt = ic — is shown to provide the physical foundation of general relativity through a rigorous treatment that includes: (1) an explicit derivation of the split metric from…
