This looks like one version of many version of "hologram" view of the universe.

At a physics level you can sort of explain your way around problems although gravity you will need explain how and why it appears? However most hologram world theory I have seen have real problems with QM.

1.) Why does QM exist and exactly what is happening when I put something in your world into superposition.

2.) QM explicitly proves there is no local reality it is represented bells inequality (here is one version of many of the proof: http://www.science20.com/alpha_meme/disproving_local_realism-79216) ... or you can even try the crackpot randii challenge (http://www.science20.com/alpha_meme/official_quantum_randi_challenge-80168). Why do no two observers have the same realism if this is a single unified illusion?

Start with those two when you answer those we will move on to some of the harder ones.

Interesting theory, Khalid. I tend to like ideas that are not mainstream. However, as presented above, your theory does seem to be more of a statement of belief, rather than a scientific idea, supported by reason.

No one could argue with such statements as "I believe in infinite extra spatial dimensions of ‘TIME’ only"; because, obviously, you are free to believe what you choose. I suspect, though, that you will have to do a lot more than make dogmatic statements if you are to win many converts.

Infinity is the cause of the crisis in Physics.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinity
Questions:
Can Infinity have concrete physical parameters?
Can infinity be the beginning of location?

perhaps you should start with the basics

The shape of space
http://athome.harvard.edu/threemanifolds/watch.html

Start there and we will discuss infinity as a concept of space after.

So you are trying to turn infinity into abstraction and it simply isn't ... it's no more abstract than PI or any irrational or complex number.

The problem is that the cosmological constant /
critical density of the universe doesn’t give to creat sphere.

Whats a sphere got to do with things I have no idea why you bring that up?

Sorry for interruption. What is creat sphere? infinity will not be the start of a destination. In classical mechanics,it won't be. We imagine all the axis from ourselves(the origin is us) to where you want to go.

While this is undoubtedly true of mathematical infinities, the concept of "true" infinity (physical infinity, if there is such a thing) can have nothing to do with number, rational or irrational.

Same question I was asking gan ... but I think he is just being evasive as he seems prone be, I think he is just trolling.

Not quite true if I was on a featureless sphere and started walking. I could walk to infinity and never reach the end.

In essence you have to be able to recognize features to be able to recognize less than infinity in space terms otherwise you would have no idea your have come full circle assuming space was a sphere or some closed shape. Now don't say but you would recognize stars and galaxies because assuming even light speed travel they will all have moved by the time you get back to the exact same place in space but it will all look different.

This is the importance of space manifolds how would you even recognize less than infinite space.
