Key Points

  • The dynamic modeling of time reveals new possibilities for integrating quantum mechanics and general relativity.
  • By treating time as a flexible dimension, the study connects mathematical tools from both theories including the metric tensor.
  • This research employs advanced concepts like operators and wavefunctions, exploring their roles across different dimensions.
  • The approach raises questions about compatibility with existing theories and emphasizes the potential for testable predictions.

Abstract

In physics, the two most successful theories, quantum mechanics and general relativity, appear to be incompatible with each other. Many theorists believe that the reason behind this, is that these theories treat space and time very differently, thus focus their attempts on finding a new way of modelling our universe and more specifically of modelling time 1. In this paper we take a different approach to modelling the time dimension. We do not treat time as a fixed dimension which is experienced the same way for every phenomenon or interaction of any dimensionality. Instead, we model time to always be the plus one (+1) dimension relative to the dimensions through which a given phenomenon propagates and interacts. This means that time for one phenomenon can behave as space for a higher dimensional phenomenon whose time is a different +1 dimension. Through this dynamic modelling of time, we aim to integrate some of the mathematical tools of both quantum mechanics and general relativity such as Operators, Complex Functions (Wavefunctions), Probabilistic Behaviour, the Metric Tensor and the Einstein Energy Equation. Finally, we investigate the compatibility of our results with other theories and the possible testability of our framework.
