Temporal Energy: An Extension of Classical Gravity and Nuclear Interaction Theory

Abstract

This paper proposes a unified model of fundamental interactions based on the redistribution of temporal energy — a physical property associated with matter’s progression through time. The model interprets gravity and nuclear forces as manifestations of temporal gradients, offering an alternative to classical descriptions in General Relativity and Quantum Chromodynamics. Temporal caverns, regions of slowed time flow, are shown to influence both gravitational attraction and nuclear binding. Analytical comparisons with Newtonian gravity and Yukawa potential confirm the numerical consistency of the model. The concept integrates relativistic and quantum effects into a single framework and suggests experimental directions involving gravitational waves, neutrino oscillations, and hadronic structure. Potential applications span cosmology, astrophysics, and quantum field theory.
