Generic Time theory
Generic Time Theory and Universal Time in Physics
Generic Time theory proposes a new model of time in the universe: Generic Time T as an observer-independent physical reference, and local process-time τ as the time expressed by clocks, atoms, photons, and physical processes.
What the idea separates
GT separates the underlying reference T from the local processes that express time.
Why it matters
This makes it possible to ask whether difficult explanations in relativity and quantum physics become simpler when the reference changes.
A turbulent river helps explain the need for a fixed reference. When every drop and current moves, rotates, and influences the others, fixed points on the riverbed make the flow possible to describe. GT proposes Generic Time T as a similar underlying reference for time.
