How Time Flows Could Explain the Universe's Expansion
How Time Flows Could Explain the Universe's Expansion Introduction The universe is expanding at an accelerating rate—a discovery that has upended our understanding of physics. While scientists attribute this to dark energy, mathematically described by the cosmological constant ( Λ ) in Einstein's equations, one fundamental question remains: What if Λ isn’t fixed? What if the nature of time itself could hold the answer to this cosmic mystery? In my recent study, I explore the idea that time flows dynamically, with oscillations and perturbations that could influence the expansion of the universe. By treating the cosmological constant as a variable rather than a fixed value, this approach offers a new perspective on one of the most profound questions in cosmology. A New Lens on Time and Space In my model of temporal physics, time is not a static, one-dimensional backdrop. Instead, it is a dynamic flow, exhibiting oscillatory behaviors like waves in a river, with cycles that influ...
