And It’s not Relativity

Introduction

The mystery of time is very profound. We have been searching for the answer to this question as long as we have been human. The hypothesis presented here is exploring an idea that I have not seen before. But, it is consistent with known Physics and only pushes the boundaries a little.The fundamental idea is that time is created in synchronicity with matter. Without matter there is no time and without time there is no matter. This time is the time of quantum mechanics. It is not thermodynamic time, which is the time of entropy. These aspects of time are related, but I am only addressing quantum mechanical time, which is fundamentally reversible.

Harrison Crecraft has published a marvelous series of articles about thermodynamic time and much more. The Reality of Time and Change — Part 1 is just the first and all the other ones are linked in part 1. These articles are based on his published peer reviewed paper.

Einstein’s Theory of Relativity

Usually, when people talk about the mystery’s of time, they are referring to time dilation. It is true that time is part of the four dimensional space-time in Einstein’s theory. But, because time dilation is well covered in many other places, I will not cover that here. The mysteries…
