that is actually really interesting. π€
i was wondering about quantum entanglement particle communication systems, and the fact that entangled pairs show instantaneous response regardless of distance, which would indicate there are things that bleed over into our reality which arenβt governed by time and space as we understand them.
I think about this very thing.
In another way I think about a star somehow disappearing, mass and all. Given the gravity equation the effect on all other mass is instantaneous. That's FTL for sure.
We know so little.
i believe that it's because gravity is produced by a special quantum state of electrons that are in a formation that i am calling a "binary electron pair" - they trade their electrical charge for mass and form a kind of "gas cloud" around matter and their function is to push matter back together because the fabric of space time is in a constant process of expansion like cell division (you can divide nothing infinitely, right?)
the *effect* we observe as gravity is caused by the same surface tension equalization that you see when two droplets of a liquid join together, once their clouds are sufficiently overlapped, they optimize from the figure 8 shape towards the sphere and thus in doing so move the nucleus of the clouds (the matter) to a common center
lastly, the time of transit of this information is instantaneous because these clouds have no real mass, and thus are not bound by the lightspeed limitation in the transit, and the speed at which they push the two cloud nuclei (the matter we see) at the rate at which the cloud reconfigures into a sphere
the phenomenon of orbiting has to do with the fact that the cloud's shape is distorted in a similar way to how gas comes off a comet when it approaches a star - the nucleus is not in the center, when considered as a static snapshot of its motion, but relative to itself, that shape is actually a sphere, however, as the inertia of each object is different, this allows objects to form orbits with each other, where they never fully come to merging the nucleus via impact, this can continue for a long time especially if other clouds are playing a role in pulling the two masses in opposite directions a lot of the time, and there is a threshold distance called the "gravity well" which if they are not close enough, the inertia and external clouds can maintain an orbit practically forever, as their distorted clouds due to their inertia never line up, always one at an angle away from the other, or like Douglas Adams said in his books "how you fly, is you throw yourself at the ground, and miss"
You are suggesting that Time is an emergent property which I don't disagree with but I have to ask . . . emergent from where? These are fundamental properties of the universe. Emergent or no, where do they have their roots?
i think that matter is emergent, and time is primal, i agree with your idea that time is actually the first dimension
in my visualisation of what our universe is, it is like an artifact that starts as a singularity, and grows (this is reducing the three dimensions down to two) as you go forward, the diameter of the space component continues to increase, at a rate that produces the speed of light, so a square
in this model, energy, aka photons/electrons/beta/alpha etc particles, have two components, or first dimension of time, second dimension of space, thus they form cyclic spinning patterns and the harmonics of their spin rate determines the way that they interact - such as the different ways that different speed photons interact with the different kinds of atoms, which are further complex configurations of primary particles that are caught in orbits with each other, which is also why they can be broken apart when you can push them close enough to the speed of light and into collision, which also can happen by gravity, such as inside a star
also, i didn't make something clear... energy, aka radiative particles, are not actually moving relative to the space matrix, they are like ships with sails, and are pushed along with the expansion force which they convert into forward motion because they are rotating in two dimensions, whereas matter particles have three components of rotational motion, which means they resist the expansion and appear to be staying still, according to themselves
it is the angular orientations of the energy particles that moves the matter particles into new configurations with each other
it is also like teh paradox of the red queen "you have to keep moving forward as fast as you can in order to stay in the same place" because the matrix (i think it was a chess board) is constantly expanding
