What Have Spacetime, Shape and Symmetry to Do with Thermodynamics?

Some highly speculative and serendipitous ideas that might relate thermodynamics, spacetime, shape and symmetry are brought together. A hypothetical spacetime comprising a pointwise lattice with a fixed metric is considered. If there were absolute symmetry between displacement and time it is suggest...

description Some highly speculative and serendipitous ideas that might relate thermodynamics, spacetime, shape and symmetry are brought together. A hypothetical spacetime comprising a pointwise lattice with a fixed metric is considered. If there were absolute symmetry between displacement and time it is suggested that the velocity of light would be an integer conversion factor between the units of these quantities. In the context of such outlandish hypotheses the answer to the question posed would be 'everything'.
