Li, Xuyong: Time as a Form of Matter From Quantum Entanglement to a Unified Theory of Gravity

This paper begins with an experimentally verified observational fact: Earth time is not synchronized with satellite time (gravitational time dilation versus motion-induced time dilation). By investigating the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon, this paper proposes an ontological framework based on minimal assumptions: the sole fundamental entity is the discrete, indivisible time quantum, denoted as “time.” Space, matter, and gravity are all emergent phenomena resulting from different combinat
