non linear time theory-time compression Chapter 8 Both sides of the looking glass-space peas

So before we go to compression, maybe we should discuss what is the difference  between Penrose and Hawkings and me.  There is some reason to say, there's no difference, we're saying the same thing differently.
But the truth is that would be unfair to all the string theorists as it would leave them chasing things that aren't there.  Maybe the Hologramists would get there eventually, but they would have to fight through all those strings first.
So let's talk just briefly about these differences.
One is that they say that in black holes time ceases.  You can say this is the same thing, but nothing could be further than the truth in Non-linear time theory.  Yes, your coordinate changes cease, but not time.  At most it goes non-linear or its linearity ceases to affect nearby time the same way.  Non-linearity only means that it can be made linear again and, in theory, this can explain expansion of space.  The idea that time actually ceases in black holes is, according to NLT, a poor choice of wording.
Second, string theorists are constantly trying to deal with space which is like trying to chase the wind, only harder, because space doesn't exist except as coordinate change.  An example is the origin of string theory in the connectivity of the poles of particles which give them spin and motion(energy) and mass are all that string theorists (and all other types of physicists) have to make up matter.  The connect these poles about which rotation can occur with strings which make for nice math models, but the strings themselves are inexplicable.  Yes, you can call them strings or gravitons, but when you try to define them you end up talking field/stretching or reproducing graviton mumbo jumbo that sort of goes away to be replaced with different mumbo jumbo about the interrelationship of time changes in NLT-which is what compression is all about.
But we're not going to talk about compression just yet, we're only talking about differences in this chapter and I think I've talked enough and maybe I'll have to make this into two chapters, or perhaps I will go on.
Another point of interest is the beginning of time.  If everything has already happened without linearity, then questions related to "the beginning of time" need to be rephrased.  Time is a dimension in traditional physics, but in NLT Time is not interchangeable with dimension, instead dimensions are mere manifestations of time.  While the difference is subtle to the point of irrelevancy (NLT doesn't say if you get hit by a bat it won't hurt) the truth is that solving for fundamental physics requires that the approach be done correctly, especially if we are going to manipulate time coordinates to move about the universe without which the whole discussion of space and time is irrelevant over time.
