The Full Story
What if force isn’t caused by mass curving space — but by time itself flowing unevenly?
This original theory proposes that motion, inertia, and gravity all emerge from differences in time rates. Even a tiny change in how time flows across space creates a measurable force — acceleration, resistance to motion, or attraction.
This model reimagines general relativity, Cherenkov radiation, and even refraction as manifestations of one thing: **temporal gradients**.
Force arises from the curvature of time, not space.

Lay Summary:
Temporal Field Theory proposes a fundamental shift in our understanding of motion, gravity, and inertia. Instead of treating time dilation as a passive side-effect of motion or mass, the theory places gradients in the flow of time at the center of all physical force. Force does not cause time to warp — warped time causes force.
Key Concepts:
-
Time Creates Force: Objects accelerate because time flows differently across space.
-
Inertia as Temporal Resistance: An object's resistance to acceleration arises from its alignment with local time flow.
-
Gravity as Time Curvature: Gravitational pull emerges naturally when time runs slower near mass.
-
Unified Explanation: Motion, acceleration, gravity, and inertia are all consequences of spatial differences in temporal rate.
