I agree, what you say about time "being a dimension" -- and
it's not all Minkowski's fault, since he might have qualified it --
just like Bucky Fuller saith. however,
teh rest of it is horseshit; there is no *semblance* of a theory,
just obfuscating metaphors re spacetime -- forget it, or
learn some of it before your next attempt.... ah; I notice that
you've already renonuced Woit!

The first step to recovery is admitting there is a problem.

Thanks Dr. Smolin!!

Here are some quotes from your rockin' book and my responses:

"Thus all the theories that triumphed had consequences for experiment
that were simple to work out and could be tested within a few years.
This does not mean that the theories could solved exactly-most theories
never are. But it does mean that physical insight lead immediately to a
prediction of a new physical effect." -Lee Smolin, The trouble With
Physics, The Rise of String Theory, The Fall of Science, and What Comes
Next

While MDT doesn't predict a new physical effect, it does explain
physical phenomena such as entanglement and action-at-a-distance as
never before. Furthermore, it also unifies GR and QM with a simple
physical model. Also, it shows that quantum mechanical and relativistic
phenomena derive from the same underlying physical reality-a fourth
dimension that is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.
