Time conservation

Okay, so my theory of spacetime as a potentiokinetic field checks out by everything I have looked up, and explains things I didn't know or understand before.  Time (potential energy) is imaginary, and its spin is positive (particles) or negative (anti-particles).  Charge is directly tied to time, so an anti-particle (with opposite time) must have the opposite charge.  Neutrinos carry time (potential energy).  Thus, electro-weak theory is created from first principles.

In particle decay, charge and time are both conserved (among other things).  This explains the charge-parity conservation violations, as time is what is really important.  Thus, CPT symmetry is conserved, and my explanation is much more simple and elegant.

Neutrinos carry time.  Left-handed neutrinos are the matter particle, so time is left handed.  Anti-neutrinos are right handed, and carry anti-time.  Note that they're not really going backwards in time, their time (potential energy) component is spinning in the opposite direction.

Particle decay always results in an even number of new time-based entities (quarks, leptons) being created, and they always appear in particle / anti-particle pairs.  This is because time must be conserved.  Photons do not have time, and so are chronometrically neutral.  For example B- decay converts a neutron into a proton, creating an electron to balance the charge (positive + negative = neutral) and an antineutrino to balance the time (positive time + negative time = neutral).  B+ decay converts a proton to a neutron, creating a positron to balance charge and a neutrino to balance time.

You can imagine the handedness of time instead as a one dimensional (scalar) property, being positive (normal matter), negative (antimatter), or zero (photons).

So, everything adds up to nothing, except energy density, which is a constant determined by potential energy, which is time.  Energy and time cause change to happen in space.

------

Our positive matter, positive time universe exists.  Everything adds up to nothing, except potential energy, which is time.  Cosmologically, a negative time, negative energy universe to balance our own is logical.  However, we have no means of knowing, as we went in opposite directions of time from the moment of creation.  Everything adds up to nothing.

------

No, antimatter is not moving backwards in time the way movies would have it.  They have opposite handed chronometric spin.  They proceed from cause to effect just like everything else.  All energy is positive, with an upper bound of the Planck energy and a lower bound of zero.  But some of it is moving in different directions.

------

Gravity is a combination or kinetic energy, its gradient, and the gradient in potential energy.  Every form of energy is deducted from potential energy, but the elasticity of space creates a curve, not a pinprick.  Thus, the potential usually has a gradient.  This creates motion in the direction of lower potential energy, which is acceleration towards the source of the energy drain (matter), which is kinetic energy.  And so all forms of energy always add up to a constant.

Motion (velocity, momentum) is a local perturbation is the potentiokinetic field.  It is a wave whose velocity (speed + direction) is determined by its own local gradients.  These gradients can also be observed through the effects of special relativity.  Photons emitted in the direction of travel gain a boost of energy from the local down gradient, while photons emitted in the opposite direction lose energy to the uphill climb, as it were.  So two particles with the same velocity will exchange photons that have the exact same energy (to them), while particles travelling in different directions will exchange photons with more or less energy depending upon the velocities involved.

And thus, nearly everything derives from first principles and geometry.  Some things still need to be measured to be known, though.  Why is the speed of causation and the elasticity of space what they are?  No idea.  But they can be measured.

I accidentally unified physics?

It's a bold claim, I know.  But I may have accidentally unified physics.

Potentiokinetic Field

What we call spacetime is really a field of scalar of potential (proper/subjective time) and a 3D vector of kinetic (space/motion/momentum).  When you square these, you have potential energy and kinetic energy.  Thus, the potentiokinetic field (instead of a confusing spacetime).  Exactly like the electromagnetic field is a combination of a scalar electric charge and a 3D vector of magnetic flux, which when squared produce electric energy and magnetic energy.

Fun fact:  Newton's force law, f = ma, can be derived from this.  Veritasium video

Electro-Weak-Potential, Strong-Kinetic correspondence

The weak force (nuclear decay/fission) corresponds directly to potential energy/time and also to the electric charge - all scalars.  (CPT symmetry)  So I was idly wondering, what if the strong force (nuclear force/fusion) corresponded to the 3D vector of momentum?  Well, the weird part of the strong force is the color charge, which always has to balance to clear (nothing), with three different colors (red, green, and blue) and their anti-colors.  Which correspond roughly to the three dimensions of space, but where r+g+b = 0.  (Think of them each as pulling 120 degrees away from each other.)  The composite particle is stable when the pulls cancel out.  So color charge is equivalent to momentum if you squint hard enough at it.

Rule of 1+3

  • The electromagnetic field is a scalar and a 3D vector.  1+3
  • The potentiokinetic field is a scalar and a 3D vector.  1+3
  • The weak-strong field would be a scalar and a 3D vector.  1+3
  • Everything works in 1D time and 3D space.  1+3
  • Thus, all of physics is 1+3 fields of 1+3.

Everything checks.  There are no contradictions.  There are no infinities.  There are no singularities.

  • Everything adds up to nothing.
    • Except for time and energy.
  • Proper (subjective) time is potential energy.
    • Potential energy is real energy.
    • Time is the potential for change.
    • Time is the reservoir from which all other things are made possible.
  • Energy density is a constant.
    • This includes the potential energy of time.
    • This is the Planck energy constant.
  • There is no such thing as negative (anti) energy.
    • This is completely different from opposite charges and spins, which are all different forms of positive energy.
    • The lowest an energy level can go is zero.
      • In a theoretically empty space, potential energy is maximized, because all other energies are zero.
      • Black holes are hollow shells of maximal energy density surrounding the absolute nothingness of zero potential energy (no time).  

Cosmology

Rule 0 of physics holds that everything adds up to nothing, except for time and energy.  But what if these aren't really exceptions?

At the moment of creation, space, time, and energy were created.  Equal amounts of time and anti-time, equal amounts of energy and anti-energy, and space and anti-space.  The negative energy (and thus, anti-matter) went with the negative time and space, and the positive energy went with the positive time and space.  Thus, a universe and anti-universe were simultaneously created, each the opposite of the other, maintaining rule zero.  From nothing emerged a total of nothing.  (This can be adapted to creation in a pre-existing infinite space, because negative and positive space are identical.)

What are space and time? What is spacetime?

What are space and time?  What is spacetime?  This is not a joke, nor is it an idle question.  The answer concerns the deepest mysteries and confusions at the heart of physics.

Space and time are fixed references.  We know this is so for two reasons.
  • Every measurement ever made of the large scale universe shows it to be flat (Euclidean).
  • Special relativity depends upon the Pythagorean theorem, which requires Euclidean geometry to be true.  Experiments show it to be true.
  • Every test ever made shows the speed of causation to be finite and fixed.
However, we know spacetime is curved.
  • Special relativity describes the curving of space (contraction) and time (dilation).
  • General relativity depends upon hyperbolic geometry.  Experiments show it to be true.
How can these two contradictory facts both be true in a universe without contradictions?

Category error.  Imprecise terminology.  They do not, cannot describe the same things.
  • Space and time are fixed references.
  • What we call spacetime is two separate but interdependent fields - kinetic (space) and potential (time) energy.
Just as the electric and magnetic fields guide and are influenced by the motions of charges (a type of energy), so too do the kinetic and potential fields depend upon each other and the motion of matter (a type of energy).

These are the fundamental laws of the universe:
  • Magnetic - Electric = 0
  • Kinetic - Potential = 1
Yes, potential energy (time squared) is negative.  That's because time is imaginary.  That's because time is a sort of spin.  Spins are scalars with opposites.  That implies antimatter is matter with opposite time spin.  Which implies that electric charges (opposite scalars) are types of spin which have positive and negative values in comparison to the spin of time.

You only have kinetic energy when you have motion (a vector).  You only have magnetic energy when you have motion (a vector).  Yet you always have electric charge (a scalar) and potential energy (a scalar).

So here we have another pairing:  vector with scalar.  So perhaps we should rewrite our basic equations:
  • ||Magnetic|| - Electric = 0
  • ||Kinetic|| - Potential = 1

On the nature of neutrinos

Oh, the things that seem so simple after you've figured out the trick.

Photons are energy in space but not time.
Neutrinos are energy in time but not space.
Mass is a binding of space and time.

Thus, neither neutrinos nor photons have mass, and both travel at the speed of causality.  Photons do not change, because they have no time.  Neutrinos constantly change, because they are little else but time.

Neutrinos carry the weak force.  The weak force governs decay.  Spontaneous decay is entirely caused by time.  That's why they're called half lives - half of the number of particle p will decay in time t.

---

Time is a type of spin.  Anti- particles have opposite spin time.  Electric charge can be thought of as a spin in the same direction as time (arbitrarily plus), or the opposite direction (arbitrarily minus).  Thus, an anti-electron (positron), with negative time, to have a negative charge from its own perspective, must have a positive charge from ours.  Positive time, negative charge.  Negative time, positive charge.

Proof of pilot wave theory

A photon is emitted by an electron shedding energy as it drops to a lower energy orbital around a nucleus.  This photon has a highly specific energy, shown by its wavelength/frequency (these are inverses).  The photon is emitted in a random direction as the electron orbits.  The atom as a whole is also moving, if only through Brownian motion.

Does the frequency of the photon depend on the direction it took compared to the motion of the electron that created it?  No.  Does its frequency depend on the motion of the atom that it originated from?  No.  How do we know?  Lasers work.  The whole point of a laser is to produce a coherent beam of light in one and only one frequency.  And yet, the electrons are moving at ludicrous speed around the nucleus, but there is no massive red or blue shift.  All the photons emitted are of the same wavelength.  Presumably, all photons are emitted in the direction of travel of their parent electron at the time, like how a sling will send a stone in its instantaneous direction of travel when released.

But how do red and blue shift happen?  These are real effects, easily measured.

The only way for red and blue shift to happen is for the guiding waves to build up or stretch out.  No individual photon shifts its own frequency, but motion in a certain direction will bunch up the waves in that direction while stretching out the waves behind it.  This stretching and compaction we see as red and blue shift, because the waves themselves add energy to the photons passing through them in the proper direction.

Where do these waves come from?  The object moving.  It's made of particles, each of which of moving in space, most (the vast majority, really) of which have electromagnetic properties.  Thus, a build up of energy in the direction of motion, with a corresponding decrease in the opposite direction.  Both the EM field and spacetime exhibit this behavior.

Two objects moving in the same direction would have compression and elongation exactly cancelling each other out.  An object approaching another would have an excess of compression, thus blue shift.  Two objects receding from each other would have an excess of stretching, thus red shift.


Aside - I sincerely admire the profound relationship between the EM field and spacetime.
    Electric energy - Magnetic energy = 0
    Kinetic energy (space^2) - Potential energy (time^2) = 1
