The Arrow of Time in Temporal Physics
The Arrow of Time in Temporal Physics In my temporal physics framework, the arrow of time is not a fundamental property encoded in spacetime. Instead, it is an emergent phenomenon resulting from the causal propagation of information and the accumulation of discrete state transitions. In this post, we explore how the arrow of time arises from our model, emphasizing its mathematical underpinnings. 1. Temporal Segmentation At the Planck scale, time is fundamentally discrete . We assume that time is segmented into intervals of Planck time t p t_p , such that: t p = ℏ G c 5 . t_p = \sqrt{\frac{\hbar G}{c^5}}. Each interval t p t_p represents a basic "step" in the evolution of the system, where information propagates causally between adjacent nodes in our spacetime graph G = ( V , E ) G = (V, E) . For a given discrete time step t n t_n , the state of the system is described by a state vector ψ ( t n ) \psi(t_n) that evolves via a unitary operator U ( t p ) U(t_p) : ...
