Physics education research, electronic materials, and the musings of Christopher Moore, Ph.D.

Hello everyone,

First I'm glad to be here at this forum sharing ideas with all of you, I hope I can contribute as much as information as I will try to drain out of everyone that volunteers lol.  I'm 31 yrs old and a single father who studies physics in spare time.  Sometimes I get ideas that don't line up with classical or quantum models, however I never post such ideas knowingly and I always admit as soon as I understand I'm wrong.  That said I want to introduce a thought experiment in the form of a hypothesis that I believe may explain both the time-energy uncertainty issues as well as the varying particle decay rate issues (oscillating neutrinos, thorium subjected to cavitation, and other recent events) and also the cosmological constant issue.  This is not my original idea however I have run the most with it and thought of possible ways to test this notion.

We all know space and mass are related as momentum and time are.  Now let me ask you what if time is not an effect of space but is an effect of energy, caused by the biggest source of energy we know of the inflation of the universe.  It may seem like a moot point we all know e=mc2 so according to relativity both energy and mass would affect time equally.  However if we really think there may be dramatic differences that may give us the answer to everything quiet literally!  If time is based on energy then when we get to a quantum level where we have no observer of time at all, and our interactions with particles are always changing them and we have all these problems with different decay rates and questions of the methods of changing decay rates, wouldn't it be convinient to be able to say the simple loss of energy or gain would slow or speed time at that particles scale.  So when we put atoms in excited states and they die faster we have a real convinient explanation in energy based time.  Also this gives us a way to measure time that I believe is better than space based on that scale.  It may be we can have proper time eigenstates without duality equations of quantum theory.

Also on to the classical scale, it may seem on this scale we have a hard search for a difference from standard model, however what about dark energy?  Here somewhere in the voids of space we have an energy source that is still inflating space, if time came from inflation then time should be moving at a much faster rate in this void at this source of energy.  This may explain redshift differently and even make one wonder about our age of the universe.  Relatively speaking in this hypothesis I believe the universe should be much older, also this means that light moving through this void comes to us much faster from our perspective.  Now to the light beam there is no difference however time is flowing faster.  This has the net effect from our perspective light would appear to move faster than the speed of light.  So with a lack of mass to slow time down in the voids of space time may absolutely be flying by us.

Now I am new to quantum mechanics so if I have got WAY off the facts of particle physics I apologize and I look forward to seeing the problems anyone sees with this hypothesis.  Frankly ever idea I have that gets shot down furthers my knowledge of the universe so my feelings will not be hurt at all   This is a thought experiment that I am trying to better understand the physics involved with, if it ends up plausible by some measure then I may try to come up with a math to explain it somehow... how ever long it may take lol.

Thanks for reading my hypothesis!
