We have shown throughout "The Imagineer’s Chronicles" there would be several theoretical advantages to define the universe in terms of the existence of a continuous non-qauntized form of mass and four *spatial* dimensions instead of four-dimensional space-time.

One of them is that it would allow physicists to derive the relationship between gravity an quantum mechanics in terms of the classical laws of physics.

The Elegant Universe Quantum Gravity

The article "Why is energy quantized?" Oct, 4 2007 showed the properties of a particle could derived in terms of a classically resonating system made up oscillations in a continuous non-quantized form of mass on a "surface" of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension.

There are four conditions required for resonance to occur in a classical Newtonian environment, an object, or substance with a natural frequency, a forcing function at the same frequency as the natural frequency, the lack of a damping frequency and the ability for the substance to oscillate spatial.

The existence of four *spatial* dimensions would give a continuous non-quantized mass component of space the ability to oscillate spatially on a "surface" between a third and fourth *spatial* dimensions thereby fulfilling one of the requirements for classical resonance to occur.

These oscillations would be caused by an event such as the decay of a subatomic particle or the shifting of an electron in an atomic orbital.  This would force the "surface" of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension to oscillate with the frequency associated with the energy of that event.

However, these oscillations in a continuous non-quantized form of mass caused by such an event could generate a resonant system or "structure" to be established in a continuous non-quantized form of mass.  These resonant structures are responsible for the quantum or particle properties of mass and energy.

It is very difficult to define the quantum properties of mass and energy in terms of the continuous properties of a four-dimensional space-time manifold because time is only observed to move in one direction forward.  Therefore, it could not support the bidirectional movement or spatial oscillations required to define the resonating structures modern science associates with particles.

The article "Defining energy?" Nov. 26, 2007 shown one can explain and predict gravity in terms of a displacement or curvature in a "surface" of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension.

This curvature is analogous to a curvature in four-dimensional space-time Einstein assumed was responsible for gravity.  However it differs in that it defines gravity in terms of the classical concepts of spatial dimensions instead of a non-classical one of them being merged with time.

As mentioned earlier, a particle’s properties can be derived terms of a classically resonating or "standing" wave on a "surface" of a three-dimensional space with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension while gravity can be define in terms depression or curvature in that same surface.

However, both of these mechanisms have a common element related to the existence of a continuous non-quantized form of mass four *spatial* dimensions.

Therefore, it is possible, using the laws of classical physics to derive a theoretical link between the continuous properties of gravity and the discontinuous or quantum properties of mass in terms of the existence of a continuous non-quantized form of mass and four *spatial* dimensions.
