Absolute Time, Black Holes, and the Mathematical Universe: A New Perspective on Temporal and Gravitational Interactions

Abstract:

This paper proposes a radical re-examination of time, gravity, entropy, and quantum mechanics within a mathematical framework. It introduces the concept of Absolute Time, separate from space, with relativity as an emergent property of gravitational distortions. Black holes are theorized as collapses of time, where worldlines of entropy become equivalent within the same spatial framework. The implications for quantum mechanics, wavefunction collapse, dark matter/energy, and the idea of a universal black hole are explored, along with potential experimental verification methods.

 

1. Introduction

 

Modern physics treats time as intertwined with space, but this perspective may be misleading. I propose that time is an independent, quantized dimension that exists alongside space rather than within it. This theory suggests that gravity influences an object’s passage through absolute time rather than dilating time itself. By shifting our perspective, we can resolve paradoxes in quantum mechanics, black hole information retention, and the nature of entropy.

 

2. Absolute Time and Frame Rate Dependence

 

    • The current relativistic model assumes that time is relative to an observer’s frame, but Absolute Time (tH) exists when gravitational effects are removed:

      t - (Fg + Fv) = tH

      where:

        ◦ t is observed time,

        ◦ Fg represents gravitational influence,

        ◦ Fv accounts for velocity-dependent time distortion,

        ◦ tH is absolute time.

 

    • Moving through space increases an object’s progression through time.

    • Time is layered on top of space, splitting into probable, causal, and constant branches.

    • The observed effects of relativity (time dilation) emerge from a discrete frame structure where objects in motion experience "frame skipping." This causes time perception to change, but not time itself.

The frame rate dependence suggests an underlying quantization of time at the Planck scale.

 

3. Black Holes as Collapses of Time

 

    • Instead of distorting space, black holes collapse time, making local entropy equivalent across worldlines.

    • The event horizon represents the limit where entropy ceases to be locally distinguishable.

    • The Bekenstein-Hawking entropy formula can be extended to treat black hole entropy as a function of time collapse where event horizon area evolves as time compresses.

    • This model resolves black hole information paradoxes by suggesting information is encoded within time layers rather than spatial dimensions.

    • The entire universe itself may be the interior of a massive black hole, where time is collapsing at a universal scale.

 

4. The Universal Black Hole and Indra’s Pearls

 

    • If the universe is within a black hole, its expansion could be the result of the time collapse progressing outward. The end of time, when no time passes because no more entropy can be generated, you hit the barrier of the event horizon

    • Other universal black holes could exist, each with incompatible physical laws, explaining the barriers between them.

    • The concept of Indra’s Pearls is an appropriate analogy: just as each pearl reflects all others, each universe within a universal black hole could contain reflections of the entire multiversal structure, explaining observed quantum entanglement and non-locality effects.

 

5. Dark Matter and Dark Energy as Entropic Phenomena

 

    • Gravity could be concentrations of shared entropy across worldlines, explaining the apparent effects of dark matter without requiring exotic particles.

    • The universe's expansion could be linked to the progression from a central singularity, with dark energy emerging as an effect of void-filling entropy.

7. Implications for Time Travel and Temporal Mechanics

 

    • Forward time travel is straightforward via gravitational wells.

    • Reverse time travel requires controlled manipulation of local gravity wells.

    • Lateral moves between worldlines necessitate direct interaction with singularities.

    • The concept of "paradox resolution" emerges naturally as entropy redistributes across worldlines, preventing unresolvable contradictions.

 

8. Conclusion and Future Directions

 

This theory proposes that time is quantized, independent of space, and structured in a way that allows relativity to emerge as a property of gravitational distortion. The implications for quantum mechanics, black holes, and cosmology provide several testable predictions. Further research should focus on refining the mathematical structure and designing experiments to validate the existence of Absolute Time and its influence on quantum collapse and gravitational phenomena.
