"You can describe the relationship between the electron and the protons (quarks) in terms of three things, things we don't usually take as a measure of distance: inertial mass, distance, and time. 3 dimensions.
Gravity is only negative-time, time-time is positive time. Gravity is literally going back in time a little (which is really why there's time dilation), and we the human race live right at about the sweet spot of it all. There is distance, and anti-distance. Kilograms and anti-kilograms.
1 meter = 1 kilogram = 1 second"

but then you proceed to state that there are three dimensions. dimensions CANNOT be linearly dependent, which excludes explicitly this equality.

"Look at the units in G, the gravitational constant:
If meters and kilograms and seconds are all DIFFERENT things, then by all means, you must NOT simplify that.
However, if they are the same and you follow the rules of exponentiation for negative exponents:
G m^3-3 = G m^3/G m^3, and if I remember correctly, you can simplify it further:
G m^3."

if you have equated m=k=s, then the proper mathematical reduction of this implies that G is a dimensionless scalar, a number with no meaning. G = ### m^0.

"Math is the source code for the universe."

So far, the most accurate statement.

"Einstein was right, but only partly so. He was still used to thinking that time and space are two separate things, and he made the jump to thinking they are all the same thing after his various thought experiments."

NO!!!! the brilliance of Einstein was that he considered time space as an inseparable entity. This is the crux of the relativities.
