Advantage #7 of 3DT over String Theory

3DT is finished. The theory was completed and appeared in 2005, the 100th anniversary of the appearance of Einstein's three famous papers of 1905. String Theory has not been completed and there is no end in sight.

Advantage #6 of 3DT over String Theory

Another point of similarity of 3DT with relativity is that both are theories of gravitation. Thus, 3DT continues the 300+ year old tradition started by Newton and continued by Einstein of placing gravitation in the position of highest importance. In 3DT the electromagnetic, weak and strong interactions are aspects of gravitation in six dimensions. String theory does not focus in on gravitation as the most important force and so does not share in this tradition.

Advantage #5 of 3DT over String Theory

Another point of similarity between Three Dimensions of Time (3DT) and general relativity is that both have the curvature scalar as their Lagrangian. 3DT's curvature scalar is in six dimensions and includes all known and predicted matter fields. This means all matter is just part of the geometry of a six-dimensional world. In other words, in six dimensions there is no matter, only geometry. This is the achievement of Einstein's dream of describing everything in terms of the "marble" of geometry alone, without the "base wood" of fundamentally different matter fields. This is in contrast to String Theory, which has ad hoc matter fields.

Advantage #4 of 3DT over String Theory

There is a precedent for Three Dimensions of Time (3DT). Adding dimensions of time has worked before - when Einstein added one dimension of time to the three of space. 3DT finishes the job Einstein started of adding dimensions of time to make time symmetrical to space. There are three dimensions of time because there are three dimensions of space. This is in contrast to string theory, which was invented to explain the strong interactions. Here it lost out to QCD (quantum chromodynamics). Using a failed theory of the strong interactions to explain everything is faulty.

Advantage #3 of 3DT over String Theory

The theory of Three Dimensions of Time (3DT) achieves quark confinement by leaving out the free-quark terms from the Lagrangian. How can free quarks exist in the world if there are no free-quark terms in the Lagrangian to describe them? In 3DT the free-quark terms have to be zero. String theory does not have a method for producing quark confinement. The standard model does, but it requires supercomputers for its calculations. 3DT's method is much simpler than this because it requires no calculations. For the details, go here.

Advantage #2 of 3DT over String Theory

The theory of Three Dimensions of Time (3DT) explains ten parameters of the standard Model. These include the masses of the electron, muon and tau, the masses of the three neutrinos, the masses of the W and Z, and the fine structure constant. No other theory, including String Theory, explains these parameters. The theory of 3DT can be found here.

Advantage #1 of 3DT over String Theory

When the LHC does not find the Higgs particle or supersymmetric particles, physicists will be forced to abandon String Theory and the Higgs mechanism. The theory of three dimensions of time (3DT) will be virtually the only theory consistent with these results. You can find 3DT here.
