In the TDT-SDS framework, the conservation laws would need to be expanded to encompass the interactions within a six-dimensional spacetime. Here’s a speculative approach to how the conservation laws might be reformulated:
1. Conservation of Mass-Energy:
Original Law: Mass-energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another.
TDT-SDS Reformulation: Mass-energy is conserved across all six dimensions of spacetime, allowing for the conversion between mass, spatial energy, and temporal energy. This implies the existence of temporal energy forms, which may include entities like 'potential futures' or 'entropic pasts' that could convert into kinetic or potential energy and vice versa.
2. Conservation of Momentum:
Original Law: The total momentum of an isolated system remains constant if no external forces are applied.
TDT-SDS Reformulation: Momentum is conserved in an isolated system when considering all six dimensions, which includes both spatial momentum and a newly defined temporal momentum. The temporal momentum could relate to the rate of change in the object’s position within the temporal dimensions.
3. Conservation of Angular Momentum:
Original Law: The total angular momentum of a system remains constant unless acted upon by an external torque.
TDT-SDS Reformulation: Angular momentum, including both spatial and temporal components, is conserved in a closed system. Objects could possess angular momentum derived from their rotation in the temporal dimensions, which would interact with traditional spatial angular momentum.
4. Conservation of Charge:
Original Law: The total electric charge of an isolated system remains constant.
TDT-SDS Reformulation: Electric charge remains conserved across the six-dimensional spacetime. However, the movement and interaction of charges could have additional temporal components, affecting how charge conservation is perceived and measured in non-linear time.
These reformulated conservation laws would have profound implications for physics, introducing new types of energy and momentum, and possibly even new fundamental forces or interactions that span the breadth of the temporal dimensions.
However, it's important to note that these are theoretical constructs created from a thought experiment and not part of established science. They would require a substantial theoretical foundation, complete with mathematical formalism and empirical evidence, to be considered a viable extension of current physical laws.
