Temporal Energy Theory: The Possible Bridge Between General Relativity and Quantum Physics

Have you ever wondered about the relationship between space, time, and energy and how objects in space fundamentally interact? Temporal Energy Theory (TET) offers a captivating perspective, suggesting that time may be key to better understanding the universe’s fundamental forces. Unlike conventional theories, TET proposes that time is an active quantum field integrated into the universe’s structure. Yes, time is a particle!

Lamont Williams, in his book, “The Greatest Source of Energy: A New Theory of Time,” discusses the concept of TET and explores its potential to bridge the gap between the two great pillars of modern physics: general relativity and quantum mechanics. Before we proceed, it would be pragmatic to have a basic understanding of TET  and how it relates to these two areas of physics. 

What’s Temporal Energy Theory?

According to TET, “TIME“ isn’t just a ticktock clock – it’s more like a supercharged energy field comprising particles smaller than a quark. At a macroscopic level, the particles act as a smooth, continuous field or dimension—think of a body of water having smooth waves, for example, versus the individual water molecules constituting that same volume. The time field acts in unison with the three spatial dimensions to create the four dimensions of spacetime. Matter causes spacetime to curve, and spacetime, in a sense, tells matter how to move, such as falling to Earth. However, Albert Einstein and other experts in general relativity have noted that while all four dimensions of spacetime are indeed curved by matter, what causes an object to fall to Earth, for example, are curves in the time dimension, not the spatial dimensions. It’s like saying time has its own power to shape how things move and interact in the universe. TET is all about looking deeper into the time dimension and the role it plays in physical phenomena. 

While general relativity focuses on large entities, such as planets, stars, and galaxies, and how they move and interact in spacetime, quantum mechanics governs the behavior of small things like electrons, protons, and atoms. Yet, these two theories have appeared fundamentally incompatible. That is, it has been difficult to combine general relativity and quantum mechanics into a single, overarching work. Could TET provide the missing link?

General Relativity 

TET builds upon the foundation of general relativity by introducing the groundbreaking concept of temporal particles, which are proposed as fundamental entities that govern the flow, structure, and dynamic interactions of time itself. According to this theory, these temporal particles are not merely passive components but play an active and integral role in shaping the universe’s fabric. In TET, the phenomenon of gravity is reimagined as arising from the convergence and densification of these temporal particles around sources of energy, such as massive objects.

This novel perspective offers a fresh and compelling explanation of gravitational interactions, suggesting that gravity may be intricately tied to the behavior and distribution of these temporal particles. By redefining the role of time and its particles, TET provides a transformative viewpoint on the forces that govern the cosmos and opens new avenues for understanding the fundamental nature of reality.

Quantum Mechanics 

TET incorporates quantum principles by positing not only that time is ultimately composed of particles but that these particles are a critical feature of the force carriers of quantum theory—photons, relating to electromagnetism; gluons, relating to the strong force; and the W and Z bosons, relating to the weak force. 

Uniting General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics

The union of general relativity and quantum mechanics within the scope of TET offers a holistic perspective that transcends the limitations of traditional approaches, paving the way for a deeper understanding of the fundamental nature of reality. Through TET, we may uncover new insights into the interconnectedness of space, time, energy, particles, and particle interactions, ultimately bridging the gap between the classical and quantum worlds.

TET offers a fresh perspective on the age-old puzzle of unifying the two great branches of physics. By considering time as a key player in the cosmic/quantum equation, it aims to bridge the gap between the incredibly vast and the incredibly small, providing a potential solution to the longstanding conundrum in physics of uniting these worlds.
